Who thinks there should be another referendum

[paprickapaull]

Who thinks there should be another referendum?
My mum says there shouldn't but my husband says there should be I'm not very sure.

What do u think?

My business relies on me being able to travel across Europe easily.
Yeah, but fuck business, as arch Brexiteer, Boris Johnson, would say.

{Yeah, but fuck business}
Although not relocated for this reason it has an advantage that I keep most of my business so I can support my family.

Traitor!

So should I have been 'patriotic' and voted leave like the workers in Sunderland who will be wanting Universal Credit when the factories close?

Especially since some of those people are also paying tax in the UK

Like me

and also fiddled it not to pay tax here

Incorrect. I pay Tax on unearned income (rental income) in UK as it sourced in the UK and therefore subject to UK regardless of my residency status.

After allowable expenses and personal allowances are taken into account profits are not that much. So tax is not that high. Accountants seem to know their stuff

Well, they should have thought of that before the referendum, shouldn't they?

Cameron was arrogant before the referendum as super confident that vote would be remain. That’s why he wound his neck out and said it was a once only opportunity.

We are both pretty disgusted with the Leave nephew/brother

People vote how they choose. No requirement to seek instructions from someone else before voting

But I’m just so bloody angry at the stupid old gits, sitting in Spain, France, wherever, living cheaply, waving their union jacks and singing Rule Brittania at the fex-pats club, banging on about the good old days and how Great Britain was before the EU

Maybe some of the old gits experienced WWII and have relatives that died in WWII. Had it not been for the efforts of such persons UK would have been defeated. Imagine having to goose step everywhere and be told to grow little moustaches.

The EU project is the fourth reich in disguise

and voted leave like the workers in Sunderland who will be wanting Universal Credit when the factories close?

The leave vote was not just about money. Other factors involved too such as identity and freedom.

who may have no intention of returning, should be able to reserve the right to vote just in case they change their mind and decide to return at some point in the dim and distant future

Many of the Countries I have worked in only allow residency if I am working. If not working I must leave the Country. As a UK Citizen where else would I go to live other than UK as it is my Country of Domicile.

@MissedTheBoatAgain hasn't lived in the UK or E.U. for 30 years.

"The EU project is the fourth reich in disguise"

Load of childish shit.

That's a very deep barrel you're scraping there. You sound like that moron, Mark Francois (or a 10 year old).

Nonsense. The majority of today’s ex-pat retirees were born after the war. My mother was born in London in October, 1939 and remained in central London with her mother and older siblings throughout the war. She remembers it vividly and because of that voted to remain, as did many of her generation, look at the breakdown. It’s those in their 60s and 70s who voted to leave en made.
She and others who do remember it know what the EU has largely prevented from happening again. Churchill was a staunch European, he would be horrified at all of this, as is his Grandson.

en masse (a Brexit auto correct, obviously)

My Mum voted Remain before she died in her mid 80s. It is people too young to remember the war apart from uplifting war film reruns on BBC2. They were uplifting for a reason. To hide the horribleness and praise people for coping with the horribleness. They weren't documentaries.

Indeed. Sorry, my quotes around Missed but disappeared!
My point was exactly that, people with personal experience and understanding of the war voted largely to remain. All this Churchill flag waving stuff isn’t only incorrect, it’s offendive. The only evidence I see of . any potential new third Reich is the alarming rise in right wing, racist extremism in my country

(And the anti-semitism of the far left of course: just woken up and was focusing on the governments right wing extremists!)

Aaaarrrggh. Not going to get drawn into this again and have someone who hasn’t lived here for decades and should keep their trap shut wind me up today, which is of course the objective. 🙄

Yep @JRMisOdious .

I find it quite upsetting that there are remainers who think that the voice of the British in Europe doesn't deserve to be heard. We are the single most affected group: Brexit affects my right to vote (after Brexit, I have fewer voting rights than a Victorian woman), it affects my right to be a carer for my elderly mum if she needs me, it affects my job (British company), it affects my rights to continue to live in my own home.

Tbh I'm getting to the point of wanting no deal. Europe will be better off without you.

Again @Mistigri , it's people who don't live in the UK or E.U. that should butt out. Brits in the E.U. is a different matter and of course have something useful to say. Although I reckon Leavers only listen to Brits outside the E.U. if they do "furrin " at all.

Also, and I can't speak for the Brits in Spain, but I don't know anyone living in France who voted leave. Most didn't vote at all because of the 15 year rule or the shambles of the postal vote system, but I have often been surprised to learn that people defied stereotypes and voted remain.

hasn't lived in the UK or E.U. for 30 years

but still a UK Citizen
