What recession? The Employment sector is booming, with very low unemployment and wages rising. We have no restricted movement or food shortages. You can obviously see into the future, or are you just repeating government scenarios which have a terrible record of actually happening and quickly become discredited? Do you have anything original to say? Edited December 21, 2018 by Car Boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that Britain has the highest tourist footfall in Spain and last year we spent 1.88 Billion pounds on their shores? Can you see Spain allowing some kind of embargo on British visitors after Brexit?? Your a bigger fool than you appear if you think that the Europeans will put up with that. 6 minutes ago, Car Boot said: What recession?

Car Boot Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 There are about 900,000 British ex-pats living in the EU.I've just read that there are 1.3 million British people living in Australia.How this has happened without the EU's FOM I simply can't comprehend!

What an absurd answer!! Rather than agree with me (and judging by the time it took you to respond, you've obviously seen what we spend in Europe and are really angry with yourself for not spotting this) you would rather play the "I Think I'm Clever" answer. Note; you are not. Too many lies from the remain camp about Brexit. What you fail to realise is that European countries will not allow Brussels to treat the UK as criminals after Brexit. They will not jeopardize their businesses to appease the EU,s stance on how it will treat us. There won't be food shortages nor in the mind of a typical remoaner will there be a tornado over Dewsbury. You are talking utter nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) 56 minutes ago, Car Boot said: The EU is absolutely enforcing austerity on Italy. The democratically elected coalition government want to introduce a mild pro-growth budget which includes a basic income for the poorest people (over 5 million in Italy live in absolute poverty). But fiscal discipline, not people, is what is important to the EU. So the non-elected EU threatened the elected Italian government with an Excessive Deficit Procedure which could have led to a fine of about €9 billion if it did not capitulate. The coalition government wants to spend to stimulate growth in the economy, boosting consumption and employment, as EU austerity measures have failed - creating terrible poverty without cutting the national debt. So basically austerity, which hasn't cut debt, is being used to placate the markets. The EU, as always, puts the markets before people. https://euobserver.com/opinion/143593 The EU isn't enforcing austerity: the EU is enforcing the fiscal pact which Italy signed up to, of its own free will. The austerity is a by-product of successive Italian governments' fiscal policies lacking in prudentiality. Same in Greece yesteryear, same in the UK, France, Spain <etc> still. There is an easy (enough) solution available to Italy, if it so wishes to pursue fiscal policies putting its solvability at risk: it is free to exit the €uro and go back to the Lira. Same as Greece was with the Drachma yesteryear. The fact that the very vast majority of Italian national debt is held in Italian hands, whence a reversion to the Lira would be so severe a haircut to bondholders, that the average Italian would have no head left, is for the Italian government to consider in its deliberations. Perhaps that fact influenced their decision to stick with the €uro some weeks back. But since that's what the democratically elected coalition government decided, then the fiscal pact with the Eurozone stands, as do its rules. Still can't have your cake and eating it in this day and age I'm afraid, no more than anyone ever could. Edited December 21, 2018 by L00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not British expats, they're British immigrants. And the UK government deliberately abandoned them to their fate this week. Yes, that's British citizens. Trap-doored by Theresa May and Javid. Hard to think, when the UK went so far at to wage war on Argentina over the Falklanders. As for your lack of comprehension about Oz, only a foreigner unfamilar with British and Commonwealth history couldn't comprehend. Perhaps ask your GRU handler for a summary?
