  • You voted Remain, and now you are saying that Brexit will be good for you? Why not just vote Leave in the first place?

    Yes, I was out voted, more so after December 16th

    Regardless, even if I won it wouldn't of been all the much better or worse for me, Brexit was blown out of all proportion, I would of worked with what I had whatever the scenario had been.

    Corbyn though would have been a different subject

    You might find this surprising but some of us do not vote in our own interests and care about other people and other things like the planet.

    I will do better under the Tories because of where I am on the income distribution scale, however I would prefer a fairer society even if that disadvantages myself.

    Your question implies you can not see any further than your own self interest?

    Empathy means understanding that not everyone thinks and feels as you do.

    One of the worst human conditions, to watch 100 people suffer in order for yourself to prosper. I have always wondered how poor impoverished country dictators can watch their whole country as they live a jet set life.

    That’s one of the differences between the winners and the losers in life.

    Anyone hoping for the continuation of the property bubble doesn`t need to lecture others about "empathy" thanks.

    ? We have not started Brexit yet, the end of January is the starting gun.

    Prices have been roughly static over the last 3 years when you take inflation into account, even fallen in some places, how on earth can you consider that to be a "Bubble"

    And yet again you show your true colours. Brexit or no Brexit, a good Brexit or bad Brexit, I will work with what I have and do my best.
    You on the other hand are looking for one outcome, what you think will be a destructive Brexit that hurts people.

    P.S If I was a betting man I would wager that you won't even profit from what you wish for, just have a feeling about you

    I’m not hoping for one set of people to prosper at the expense of others. That’s not me. Maybe you’re confusing me with someone else?

    It is a classic bubble, transactions are half what they were at the peak of the madness and prices have continued to be pushed up to the point where they are now stalling, anyone thinking that prices over the last three years are normal or sustainable is either just ramping or very deluded IMO.
