Anyone putting any plans in place in case we leave?

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I've just checked the EU referendum current polls and it's looking very close at the moment.

I wondered if anyone is putting plans on hold, or will change any plans they have if we leave?

Personally, I am wracking my brains to think of anything which will directly affect me. Although I wonder if there will economical turmoil and whether to plan for an interest rate rise (our very high mortgage). Which will in turn affect Dhs business.

If we remain, I'd imagine it's just business as usual.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I tried debating with you sensibly for a long time but I don't have the patience of a saint.

There you go again - more personal abuse.

People who resort to personal abuse just display how weak their argument is.

I could sit here and call you all the names under the sun - but I won't.

I shall console myself with the knowledge that you will be supporting that nice Mr Cameron's proposal to REMAIN in the EU and thereby probably lengthening his political career.

Still, it's a change from the usual Project Fear nonsense

The tories revised the tests to be more stringent and expanded who was allowed to be tested.

I'm no conspiracy theorist but the rate of people being wrongly assessed did increase after 2011.

Springing, do you actually have anything of value to contribute to this thread,

Every sentence is on threads valuable as it exposes the intolerance, vile behaviour and personal abuse that appear to be the main tools of the REMAIN camp.

which is about people putting in place contingency plans to deal with how their lives might be affected by a Brexit vote?

Montana is nice this time of year. Many of the millennium fear era sold up and moved there.

If not, toddle off.

There you go again - thinking you can order people around. Thinking you can dictate who posts here and who doesn't. You are not a shining example of tolerance - which should worry people if we do REMAIN in the EU.

But dictators will fit in well in dictatorships so I can understand your preference to REMAIN in the EU

Spring, really? You reported me to MNHQ for asking whether you were actually planning to post anything relevant to the topic of the thread?

Don't lie. You know what you actually posted in that deleted thread - more personal abuse . Don't try to pretend it was something else

Yes, I posted:

"Springing, do you actually have anything of value to contribute to this thread, which is about people making contingency plans in case their lives are affected in the event of a Brexit vote? If not, toddle off."

You copied and pasted the top and tail of it in your post above, which was genius. There were no profanities in the middle of it.

Thank you buttered it takes more than being told I'm disgusting to rock me, these days.

The concept of independent assessment of disability claims, in itself, is a sensible idea; but it has been warped to suit political will - and illwill.

I'm still looking for where I have been personally abusive; maybe it is simply by existing, and holding a strong, different opinion.

In fact, you have literally copied and pasted the entire contents of the post you asked MNHQ to delete. Specifically which part of it are you suggesting was abusive?

Was it this bit:

"Springing, do you actually have anything of value to contribute to this thread,"

this bit:

"which is about people putting in place contingency plans to deal with how their lives might be affected by a Brexit vote?"

or this bit:

"If not, toddle off."

?

Don't worry Annie.

Spring keeps using the word "abusive". I don't think it means what she thinks it means.

Play nicely please Buttered. Two of your posts have now been deleted by MNHQ.

Yes and I genuinely don't understand why that post (you know, the one you copied and pasted in its entirety into your own post) was deleted.

Which part of it was abusive?

Yep, I'm relinquishing British citizenship if we leave.

Can't be arsed with the visa hassle

spring would it be ok to keep on the subject, ie what are the things people are doing to prepare themselves to the result of the referendum.
A few people have posted already re moving away, preparing redundancy or applying for citizenship.
I would be interested to hear more about that.

Maybe you could tell us if you think those measures are necessary or if we are worrying too much?
Eg there will be no need to get U.K. Citizenship as EU citizens living for xxx years will be allowed to stay no matter what. See what X X has promised maybe?

I hope all everyone intending on getting an Irish passport is also voting to remain. Voting to leave as you think the UK will be better out but getting an Irish passport for all the benefits of the EU like free travel would be deeply hypocritical.

Also if the new passport holders decide to reiterate to the "Costa Del Sol" will our health system in Ireland now be paying for all these Irish people who have never set foot in the country? Another reason we as a country hope you don't leave (although obviously we would get some benefits if the UK leaves too)

Retire not reiterate

Jeanniejampots are you Irish then?

Obviously I can't speak for anyone else, but I would assume the people applying for Irish passports because they don't want to lose their EU citizenship would be voting to remain. If they're anti-EU and think the UK is better off out then they have no reason to want dual nationality. I can't honestly imagine we will need visas to travel to continental Europe. The benefit of free movement is really the ability to live in another member state, and I'm guessing Brexit voters aren't fussed about that. But I agree, it would be very hypocritical if not.

My boyfriend and I have actually discussed moving to Ireland because I'm a lawyer (mostly specialising in EU law) and it would be much easier for me to requalify in the Irish legal system than it would be in his country. But if we did that, we would obviously want to contribute and pay taxes.

I don't think the EU is really under control.It seems to have got too big. There are loads of probs eg Greece (I don't think that has gone away) and other countries. Let alone the horrendous migrant issue. The EU doesn't seem able to unite in a solution to that.

The UK is a pretty stable country- if we leave there could be an influx of money eg to London properties from EU citizens who think the UK is a safer prospect for their savings.

Yes I am Irish, obviously being close neighbours in every sense everyone here seems to have an opinion. The majority think the UK would be mad to leave. Now this probably has been slighted by the fact that we are a smaller nation that appreciates (some) of the big brother support of the EU but not all. I was just reading on an Irish forum about how 6 million UK residents can claim an Irish passport due to our fairly broad criteria. In general no one sees any issue with this but the point was raised about so many people travelling on Irish passports having never "contributed" to our economy. If you require health care for example in an EU country the bill is sent to Ireland if you are there on an Irish passport as far as I understand it. While the odd break etc makes no difference a large portion of the UK population currently living in Spain after emigrating etc claiming the benefit of EU health under "new Irish passports" as they older would cripple us. Now this could be total nonsense but it made me wonder if the exiters were trying to "have their cake and eat it too".

Ireland will suffer in the short term if you leave but could benefit in the longer term as the only English speaking EU nation for tech indutry etc. we already have google and Facebook and others would likely follow

Hullo everyone - can we please have a bit of peace and love here?

Irish citizen eighteen years resident in uk long term partner of uk citizen in tech. Children in process of getting their Irish passports, partners job already confirmed to be moving to Dublin or Frankfurt in case of brexit. I'm voting remain it's a no brainer. I also see myself as a European and have done numerous Erasmus and living in Europe stints. Currently hating seeing the horrible side of "little Britain" pray out in this debate day by day.

Hi Becca - why was my post deleted for asking Springing to stick to the topic?

Jeannie - never thought about healthcare being charged to Ireland. That's a very valid point.

festive - that is much more "abusive" than anything I ever said so your post is clearly living on borrowed time.

Are MNHQ all pro-Brexit or something?
