    It is the EU which is about to get a lesson in realpolitik. Merkel is not going to see a half a million Germans get made redundant because they can't export to the UK any more, just so that the likes of Juncker can cling on to a political dogma that is 50 years out of date.

    According to the German CBI it's 750K car industry jobs reliant on the UK consumer. Merkel is said to be privately furious at the performance of the 'Luxembourger Lush' in the whole Brexit/ EU d!bâcle.
    Putting BMW, VW/Audi and Merc aside, I just don't see Ford and GM Europe standing idly by and allowing Juncker and his crew to unduly stitch up the citizens of one of its biggest markets.

    Let's re-visit all this inane cowardly nonsense in a years time, arf, arf.

    What investor would consider the EU less risky given at least six nations could well have thier own referendum, let alone the inherent failure of the centralised leviathan. Whilst Hamish wallows in negativity let's embrace our autonomy and clink glasses to the new prosperity.

    The EU doesn't even know where to go next. The liberals such as ex Belgian PM want more Brussells but people such as the German Foreign Minister argue for less Brussels, what a joke




    Hamish lives in Crash Central, he has every right to be negative.....:rotfl:

    People on here do not understand how the rich get richer. I am just stating what happens in the real world. Look at how big businesses work or billionaire investors work or even a dodgy salesman in the back street corner.

    Most of the world's poor have no access to credit.

    Actually, most of the world's poor are poor because they have had credit foisted upon them before they were born. Vastly to their disadvantage.

    There is a reason that an African farmer's labour rewards him with $1 a day while a banker in London gets $1000, and it isn't down to ingenuity and hard work.

    I completely agree with you, and respect your honesty.

    Unlike the other right wingers on here you aren't pretending to care about poor people while you squash their faces into the dirt, or pretending that you have done the world's poor a minor miracle by asset hoarding and paying a small percentage of tax on your cash income.

    Ruggedtoast - People on here don't have a clue how the real world works. They live in a fantasy world. I enjoy reading their posts every day and debating with them.

    As opposed to the sub 30 year old with 2 engineering degrees in the forces who's looking to shell out on a £180k property who think's he's some kind of financial genius because he types "google it" after nonsensical statements.

    uhuh

    I've never claimed I was a economic expert or financial genius. It's just applying common sense to current problems and following the rules of life. I may not be mortgage owner but I have got money in investments. I was looking at buying a ex married quarter for the short term but I have now decided to become a LL. I am not a fan of LLs, if you can't beat them join them.

    Buy-to-Let creates its own demand. Every property 'snapped up' turns a potential homeowner into a renter.
