    I tried to make a rule about not replying to you because inevitably all that happens is you make some random false statements about what I do or don't think and I get sucked into arguing with a fool. I failed in my task :(

    I have no idea what you are trying to say.

    My position is that I am primarily concerned with the welfare of the people of the UK

    you rarely, if ever mention the welfare of the people of the UK but constantly grandstand on your impractical ideal concept of free movement of all peoples, even if you don't actually believe it.

    I have no real idea what you stand for except it isn't about what's best for the people of the UK.

    was thinking.....there must be higher living/running costs associated with the properties and areas that are in a bubble and susceptible to a crash so any money saved buying at the bottom of a crash would start getting eaten away by these costs?



    or have I missed something

    Keeping everyone outside worked wonderfully for North Korea.

    They have no evil foreigners coming in, taking their jobs, messing about with culture and that's why they are so happy and thriving. Oh wait...

    whereas there are clearly lots and lots of productivity and sharing improvements due to a bigger population (be it migrants or locals) everything from the fixed costs of running the state to underused infrastructure running at a more optimal capacity.

    Which parts of the UK infrastructure are underused?

    I can't remember which thread posters were discussing Uk Tech on. But I can across this.
    London keeps tech investment lead despite Brexit
    Capital still flowing into technology companies as London stays ahead of Paris, Amsterdam and other European cities
    Leading global investment firms have committed to continue investing in the UK’s tech sector saying that London will remain an important destination for investment despite the vote to leave the European Union.
    Venture capital houses such as Index Ventures, Octopus Ventures, Balderton Capital and Hoxton Ventures are among a wider group of investment firms to pledge their continued support for the UK’s tech sector, with many citing London as an important hub for future growth.
    In the first six months of 2016 British companies attracted $1.3 billion in venture capital funding, matching the $1.3 billion raised in the same period in 2015. Some of the largest deals this year include London-based transport app Citymapper ($40m), Student.com ($60m) and a $65 million deal for British cybersecurity firm, Darktrace, completed after the referendum vote1.
    Investment into London and UK-based technology companies remains strong since the Brexit vote, with British tech firms attracting $200m of venture capital funding across 42 deals, according to the latest research from London & Partners, the Mayor of London’s promotional company2.

    I think a lot of people are looking for things that might indicate prices are falling and Giving them much to much credence this has been going on with HPC crowd for a long time. Prices could be falling but there is no firm evidence yet.

    Agreed - an example of confirmation bias.

    The fact that prices go down in one area suddenly means that the whole of the UK is going down. An article that represents an opinion is presented as fact. Prices going down by 1% means that there is an imminent crash. Etc.

    After Brexit, a game plan for the EU: unleash Project Pain

    Nobody wants to be vindictive, but maximum political and economic damage would stop other arsonists. And it could help British democracy reinvent itself...

    ..A prospect far more threatening than Brexit is emerging: a reasonable deal for the UK. Reports from Brussels suggest a compromise is doing the rounds under which it would be given continued access to the single market plus concessions on freedom of movement. This would be a grave mistake. If Britain comes out of this looking anything less than severely diminished it will be devastating for the EU.

    Call it Project Pain. When the EU starts negotiating the terms of its divorce from the UK it must aim to inflict maximum political and economic damage. Financial powers should be repatriated from London and it must become nearly impossible for Asian, US or African multinationals to continue to have their EU headquarters in the UK. Universities, companies and cities must receive generous help to attract the best minds from their UK rivals, for instance by offering EU passports. There are many more blows the EU can deliver to make sure the UK faces a dark decade of economic stagnation and political isolation. Ideally, its economy should not get back to its pre-referendum size before, say, 2030.

    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    If that's the political nature of the EU then no one wish to be part of it.
