If we vote for Brexit what happens

Not surprising. I would not be granting a mortgage to EU citizens either.

"EU citizens living in Britain are being denied mortgages because of the uncertainty of whether they will be allowed to stay after Brexit, according to a French official.
Patricia Connell, a French national who has lived in Britain for 30 years, said she has already heard of banks refusing to grant loans.
She also claimed some employers are breaking discrimination laws by only offering EU citizens fixed-term contracts if they cannot provide proof of permanent residency."

It's only someone's opinion.

My apologies. I made an assumption on your age based on your posts and got it completely wrong.

I'm still not sure what your point is but assume that you're taking the credit for the increase in tourists.

Apology gratefully accepted.
No offence was intended on my part although I do realise that to some my posting style may appear somewhat abrupt.

My point was not "taking the credit" for the increase in tourists.
It was to correct gfplux's mistaken perceptions regarding the benefits of tourism to the UK economy.

It is.
Again.
Opinion.

Perhaps you do not realise that the halcyon days of easy mortgages for all, no deposits necessary and high income multiples are long-gone.
Mortgages need to be proven affordable and one question is if there may be any reason to suspect that your circumstances may change.
See the problem there?


Would this perchance do you think be a response to recent claims that the EU are already denying Brits a range of things that - as current EU members still - we are entitled by EU directives to?

The object of the post was to bring peoples attention to something we should all be extremely interested in.

I read it as Barnier warning the EU states themselves to approach the negotiations in a pragmatic manner. As chief negotiator he knows that there's little point in walking into the room on day one. Knowing that the UK delegation will simply walk out within 5 minutes. No one is going to waste their valuable time. If the demands are simply beyond any measurable comprehension.

Seems as if the funding deficit maybe causing the EU considerable internal friction.

Something similar happened to a relative... told he would not get an EU funded PhD, even though he is highly regarded. Ironically the other member states did not behave the same and he was snapped up for another PhD project, funded by a single EU country.

I have heard of "open skys" but don't understand how this is regulated and organised.
This article suggests it has to be sorted out before Britain leaves the EU.

Does this have to be sorted out with Barnier in the Divorce phase or is it a whole separate issue.
Hopefully a more knowledgable poster can shed light on this.
Thanks.

Remain posters tell us the pound is devalued, but again it's only fallen to the fair value level several global authorities said it should have been at well before June 2016 in order to restore UK competitiveness.

Addressing the unsustainable trade imbalance is absolutely vital, and if that means inflation rising (but still low historically) so be it, J curve benefits are already being felt.

An interesting read from The World Economic Forum regarding Euroscepticism in Europe:

So, could it be that the winter of our European discontent could now turn into a glorious summer? Could it be that the politicians who want to build bridges are fully in charge again, with those wanting to build walls watching grudgingly from the sidelines?

Well, not so fast.

Even the founding countries of the European project demonstrate that Euroscepticism is not dead and buried yet.
