After what some of us in these forums have been saying for a while comes this today from Mario Draghi:

Especially true when their youth won't be able to come here. Then they,ll have to actually deal with their unemploment.

1400 is a perfectly fine sample size.
If you need more information on polling methodology, margin of error, standard deviations... and such, the internet is your friend.

They tell me I will have a nightmare getting through EU airports, but when I point out I don't recall this nightmare going through non EU airports such as Dalaman Turkey, the silence is deafening.

A record number visit the UK:

A record number of foreigners visited Britain in July, data showed on Friday, adding to evidence of how the weak pound has made tourism a big beneficiary of last year’s Brexit vote. The number of overseas residents coming to Britain in July rose to 4.02 million, the highest for any month since records began and the first time the figure has topped 4 million.

Really?.....do you think restricting the freedom of movement of your children to work throughout Europe is giving them a future! There again from what you were saying they would probably have not taken advantage of it anyway. My parents encouraged their children to leave home and find work/housing in different parts of the country. They brought us up to be independent and to acknowledge the world didn't owe us a living because we were British. That world has gone!

What are you suggesting? That the children of native Brits should up and leave the country to make way for new migrants?

Are you suggesting that we have been priced out of our own country? That it is somehow ok that we now been priced out of our own capital city?

I really don't understand you - except that as I've posited before you loathe English people (particularly the English working classes) and would rather that they all did leave.

You don't need a visa with freedom of movement.

My kids aren't priced out of their own country, aren't priced out of their own capital and have no intention to leave the country.
A good education helps.

I agree you don't understand. Let me explain. I live in N London and have neighbours who voted Brexit because they thought it would improve the chances of their kids finding jobs/accommodation because they are priced out of both in London. I said why don't they move up north...I may as well said why don't they go to the moon. Of course one of these kids left uni. in Southampton early because they couldn't cope with their laundry and feeding themselves. In contrast I work with young people who have come to this country from all over the world. They are working full-time and are fully independent. Saying immigrants are taking our jobs and houses and ruining the opportunities of our kids is the oldest excuse in the book and is a complete fallacy. If you raise your kids to suck at mummy's teat until they're in their thirties, it'll come back to haunt you. August bank holiday weekend my neighbour was painting his house all weekend. I asked why his two adult sons were not helping him. Apparently they were too busy watching Game Of Thrones! As for being priced out of our own capital that has more to do more with how capitalism works than anything else. Can't have it both ways...capitalism when it suits and socialist protectionism when it doesn't!

No EEA withdrawal notification, everything will be the same until 2021, I think everyone is in agreement May won't last that long.

Good news all round! :beer:
