If you bought 15 or 20 years ago and didn`t MEW, or take loans for things you can buy cash, like cars then you should be okay,

That will be the vast majority of people who bought then!

it is recent bubble price buyers and those who think the gains are "locked in" that will be in trouble.

All the forecasts suggest house prices are set to keep increasing for the foreseeable future, why would recent buyers be in trouble?

The only ones in trouble will be the HPC crowd who are seeing their rents increase and their buying power decrease each and every year they kid themselves that a 50%+ house price crash is just around the corner...

Protectionist is a relative term - what countries / blocs are less protectionist than the EU?

I have given several reasons why I wish to leave the EU

I am in favour of the Uk parliament governing the UK.
I am in favour of restricting the total number of people in the UK.
I am in favour of young people having better housing, better access to health care, less crowding and a better quality of life.

I believe that trade makes both parties richer. Restricting trade makes both parties poorer than they would otherwise have been.
The UK would not restrcit trade in the way that the EU has done for the last 40 years.
Presumably you are in favour of leaving the protectionist EU in favour of free trade?

there are very many others that I have previously posted about.

One is the opportunity for the UK to have a less protectionist trade policy
why are you so hostile to this ?

If the majority of buyers stopped buying 20 years ago there wouldn`t be a property bubble?


BTW "Thats what like the majority I have done" doesn`t make grammatical sense, and I am struggling to make sense of your post actually....

I don't know what you are on about, most peopl do not mew excessively and pay off thier mortgage, no one said everybody stopped buying 20years ago.

As to grammar might not be 100% correct but most people would understand it, I'm not surprised you don't.

All these blockages to trade deals and expanding the horizons of your businesses is the main reason I voted to leave the EU.

They will forever be stuck trying to satisfy everyone and getting nowhere.

Thing is, in a different parallel universe the EU might have had a clever, fluid, responsive trade policy vs. rest of world that the UK really could value, might have tipped the Brexit balance the other way...
Oh but then it could have had a better balanced trans-EU migration policy.
Ah and those well paid Eurocrat financial policy specialists could've foreseen that a single currency would impoverish the Mediterranean countries while rewarding Germany, sending all the Southern EU unemployed to the UK along with the Eastern EU ones.

All right I give up. I'm out.

What he doesn't understand is that if prices had not boomed and just kept up with inflation, I like most buyers would still be in a much better position than if I had rented, my house is worth about £400k if it was worth half that it wouldn't make any real difference to me, as I do not intend to sell.

Contrived trade agreements favour the wealthy nations of Europe, devastating local African economies and the livelihoods of farmers, writes BRIAN DENNY
THE starkest example of the dark heart of the European Union is its brutal neocolonial relationship with the Third World, particularly Africa.
The most obvious and damaging example is, of course, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) which takes up half the EU

So in other words, you can't think of a single example?

My knowledge of trade is limited. As is the case with virtually everybody that posts on here on the topic.

Because you are not able to give a single example of a country / bloc which puts these ideas like 'free trade' into practice to a greater extent than the EU does already.

Yes - my point was that the UK is not a good example given it is in the EU and has been for the last 43 years.

Have you not read the link in Conrad's post?
Then quite why you are inanely pursuing this line is unclear - more so since that link very clearly explains the very serious deficiencies of the EU's supposed "free trade" system.

Therefore it is clear that these EPAs are designed to open up the markets of all African, Caribbean and Pacific countries for EU exports, exposing Third World producers to overwhelming competition from the world’s most powerful and rapacious transnationals.

Hardly a glowing recommendation for a system that it would appear you approve of, is it?
