Brexit the economy and house prices part 6

Herzlos

I'm ignoring nothing, just curious about the logic of it being fair game to slag the EU whilst living in it being Ok but slagging the UK whilst living in it is not.

Which I guess is the same sort of logic that dictates that the UK is somehow a perfect size of a nation state - the EU is too big and Scotland too small.

I don't think the EU wants citizens to forget their identity, not that they ever could anyway.

doubt that's the issue here. in my country all the cultural and heritage ventures are part-funded or fully funded by EU, so I find it hard to believe there's some great conspiracy of killing people's identities abound

I didn't say Gallileo was any better. Just that our £5bn estimate is going to be closer to £20bn than £5bn by the time we finish.

It's easy to see open goals when you make them up

We actually have a ready made backup solution for satnav, developed right here in Blighty.

Fully road tested; you can see a video of it right here :

I am on a pre Brexit, goodbye to Britain visit this week.

I came by car today via a ferry Calais to Dover.

Everything looks good.

The calm before house demand explodes, all these people sitting tight waiting for `what if`. Scared



Good job the parents and grandparents didn`t dither, they gave us choices

Says the chap who never fails to make disparaging comments about the EU while living in Greece.

Why; are you suggesting that cogito is not an EU citizen and so is not entitled to make comments about the EU as opposed to Herzlos who is said not to be a UK citizen yet makes disparaging comments?

The difference you see is that cogito is a UK and an EU citizen.
Herzlos is not a UK citizen but is an EU citizen.


Basically it's what many of us probably already thought, this being an open forum with no proof of nationality or indeed pretty much anything else needed before you post.
The forum is being trolled by users from other countries who have no stake in the wellbeing of British people.

The EU isn't a country and is fair game for criticism.

No the EU isn't a country, yet it's leaders like Tusk & Juncker insist upon representing the EU at meetings like the G7 when Macron, Merkel, Conte and May were there representing their countries. Why? The EU's G7 member countries were represented by their respective leaders so - again - why?

What's the opposite of an inferiority complex?

If only, then I'd have a passport with more rights than the UK so I'm stuck in this mess unless I can get a VISA somewhere. Thankfully I'm qualified enough to get accepted in most countries, should I need to desert the ship.

The majority of whom would much rather remain in the EU.

It sounds like you don't realise that the ESA (European Space Agency in case you didn't know) is not part of the EU's institutional framework despite the EU trying to make it so. It is autonomous. Do you know what that means and if so why would you assume they would rather remain in the EU?

Some projects receive EU funding (this is where Galileo enters the equation) and so there might be areas where the UK could see participation stop. But conversely this could also lead to the cessation of UK funding for some areas.
From my readings it looks like (apart from Galileo where even this might end up being a boost to the UK if the UK/Oz/NZ do go ahead & build their own) one area where Brexit will have little to no impact. In fact some, like Skyrora and Reaction Engines, are already revolutionising their sectors and have great potential for impressive future growth.

I'm sending you my prayers.
