You mean like me living and working in Norway, which is not in the EU, and has ease of working, reciprocal tax deals with UK, EU etc??

It's done, get over it, it'll be fine and stop scaremongering about things that you don't know about.
LOL. You are right, it's not like that BECAUSE of the EU membership we have access to Norway's labour market.

'It'll be fine'. Love it. I mean you can't argue with that.

Tuna is right in that you can go anywhere and work - fairly easily.

The point is it is really easy in the EU, as are a whole range of other things that you get to appreciate being harmonised in the EU that you notice are different once you go further afield.

Norway is in the EEA and signed up to the free movement of labour that some brexiteers want to bin on our brexit, in case you hadn't noticed.

What was it you know about again?

As opposed to "it'll be a disaster"; a much more thought provoking and sensible argumentrolleyes

You can now see why the remainers have attracted so much derision on here.

It rather depends how you define fine and disaster.

We survived the recent financial crisis, however many people lost their jobs, many lost their homes and many received severely reduced pensions. We, the tax payer, will be paying for it for over a generation.

Brexit will likely be similar I feel.

We'll be paying for Brown's borrowing and spending for a generation but that was partly self-inflicted, while Clinton escaped without a stain on her blue dress his character.

As a result of the GFC around 1.3 million UK jobs were lost, then within little more than 5 years, we have record employment.

In the first half of 2008, 80,000 homes were repossessed, approximately one-quarter BTLs, now the rate is down to 10,000 in the first half of 2015.

Brexit, as it happens, doesn't look likely to be as bad initially but there's some similarity in terms of the much better future.

Interesting that May is hacking off the Chinese at this time over the power plant. I thought that they were supposed to be one of our saviours post Brexit.
Or is she making it more difficult intentionally for the Brexit wing to deliver on their 'promise' before starting the process.
Obviously she won't begin that process until all the ducks are lined up. Shooting a few down in the meantime..

Article in the DT said:
The Prime Minister told Francois Hollande, the French President, last week that she needed more time to make a final decision and reportedly questioned the role of Chinese companies involved in the deal.
How did the Chinese vote in the referendum wink

Absolutely nothing to do with Brexit, sorry but you're clutching at straws there.

May was questioning the Chinese involvement well before she was PM on the security aspect that's been highlighted. Also in yesterday's Telegraph there were comments regarding the ability of EDF to deliver the project on time & budget.

Or she could just see the deal with China as not a good one and she may want not as close financial links as this may interfere with possible future decisions regarding China, I see the deal as rubbish for the UK locking us into very high energy prices when energy costs may be low, making the UK more uncompetitive.

Well now that Gordon Ramsey has had his say I'm convinced!

Any comment on Cameron and his honors list for people he got to back the remain side?

50% of Ramsey's staff are from the EU? That's a lot of high skilled people in niche areas on his team.

Ramsay is entitled to his view but it's as convincing as the view of the equally well-renowned political strategist J K Rowling, as featured in a lightweight Remain advert received through the post before the vote. If newspapers and remainers are going to appeal to authority they might at least select somebody remotely acceptable.

I like his take on demographics. Imagine these threads on PH; if you were to exclude over 65s you'd probably end up with quarter of the posts.

Thank goodness we'd be OK for years to come smile

As to the referendum and demographics, you don't have to be over 65 to appreciate how the electorate was misled at the first (EEC) referendum but it helps. Then again young 'uns including grads are far more likely to have little clue as to what went on, and what goes on.

The 1970s provided a valuable lesson that those in the younger age ranges may appreciate the least.

Also at 65 there's approx 20 years to go and, at 75, around 10 years (life expectancy ~84 at 65 and ~87 at 75) so foulmouth is wrong, such people haven't "lived their lives". They have a lot of experience and wisdom with which to temper the innocent idealism and naiveté of youth.

You're on fire recently ///ajd.

2 gloomy and depressing links yesterday (which were discredited) and 1 more today concerning a Chef who's probably more famous for stuffing a 'professional mistress' whilst no doubt swearing in her ear, than stuffing a turkey!

Couldn't you have found something more current and a tad meatier tongue out, this story is a week old, I read it back then and thought it was b*llocks, I can't imagine it's gained any more credibility a week later.

You must be pleased tomorrow's Monday, you're google searches for slit - your - own - throat doom laden stories about Brexit might prove more successful than the latest offering.

Happy hunting for tomorrow thumbup

You actually believe that that poll shows the age distribution of PH?

I think the largest Poll response is around 1500 - that one is 33% of the largest so I wouldn't expect it to be entirely accurate either but as we haven't got anything else it's better than a guess

It was hardly worth that much commentary, just a soundbite from a gobby chef.

I'm not sure why so many brexiters get so animated about post brexit news. It sounds desparately like you don't want to hear any news that isn't wonderful about brexit.

Why can't we just follow the news as it happens and discuss it if we feel like it? What is all this brexiteer bedwetting achieving? It just looks like you can't handle any news at all and want to close down anything even slightly negative - they are trying that in Turkey and it isn't good.

I'm not sure which stories you think have been discredited - the Ford one perhaps? In what way discredited?
