Britain leaves the EU

I see the French are wanting to get the calais migrants to be placed in camps in the UK how are they going to do that as they are on their soil so are they totally going to just open their border with the UK to anyone. I can not see our Governments allowing that to happen.

Don't forget the British border control is in Calais by agreement of the French government, if the French government now decide to rescind that agreement then it will revert back to Dover, their problem then becomes ours all those migrants will hit UK shores before they hit border control the French will have no reason to stop them, in fact it could well be in their interest not to wouldn't you agree? its surprising they haven't done this already TBH, the UK should be helping the French with this a hell of a lot more than they are.
 
Thought old Lionel was still happy just dancing
 
I don't know too much about all the ins and outs but when I have listened to the politions not one of them could give as stright answer,as said earlier I think they needed us a lot more than we need them as I work in the building trade it could affect me . Talk of possible recession but don't for get we had one in 2009 what we need now is for everyone to knuckle down and make it work onwards and upwards bulldog spirit put the great back in Britain cheers Tony.
 
Will be able to cry over is pint with cameron because that is all he was doing lining his self up for an Mep job when finished over here :beer:(:(
 
BRITONS LIVING ELSEWHERE IN THE EU

In the short term, nothing changes. The UK will remain a member of the EU for at least two years. That is the period defined in Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty for a departing country to negotiate a new relationship with the EU — and the clock will not start until the Conservatives have elected a new leader in the autumn.

Beyond two years, Britons may lose the automatic right to work or study elsewhere in the EU, and could require a work permit or visa. But it depends on what deal we negotiate. If, for example, like Norway we remain members of the single market, free movement will carry on just as before.

It is a misconception that we currently have the automatic right to live in another EU country. Even with Britain as a member of the EU, Britons can be sent packing after three months if we have no job or any other means of supporting ourselves.

What will happen to expats will vary from country to country. If you are an established resident in another EU state and have sufficient savings and investments to support yourself, you are unlikely to be troubled. If you are worried, one option is to apply for citizenship in the country where you live.
 
there may be a few more expats soon (about 48.2% of the uk)




sorry couldn't resist.

I think that only a very very small % of expats will have an issue as most either earn a living and contribute and pay their way, own a business Ditto or are retired with a pension (s) and contribute and pay their way. It would be counterintuitive to deport people who are adding to the local economy, especially as a high proportion of expats are in the tourist area where they need every penny they can get as they are on their backsides post being bailed out on joining the Euro. A proportion of countries that embarked on the Euro currency did so without the required economic stabilisation and we're "invited" by the President elect of the United States of Europe, Angel Murkal.
 
Just some late words from me,(not being allowed my iPad for the last week) I think it doesn't really matter now the votes are in. JUST DEAL WITH IT. Ain't no differant from going to war once the sabre has rattled.
As for expats, well I'm sorry you really didn't like living here but you makes your choice and take your chances just like the rest of us. Oh and sorry if you might not be able to come back for all your health care needs you might need to get yourself some insurance now before it's too late. As for the fat cats with off shore accounts again I'm sorry if you've lost a bit of your savings but to be fair, should you really have them offshore if your really a PATRIOT. Looks very much like to me that the less wealthy in this country have made their mark. DEAL WITH IT? It's still better than going to war, isn't it ????? Nuff said.
 
Sorry to intervene but the brexit result has just down graded the uk to the point where they will have no presence nor influence in world affairs! What a shame after all that has been achieved over recent years!
 
David, please don't think the UK can't handle it, it's only people with the real wealth that are concerned, if they had headed the words that were being banded about years ago we wouldn't have needed a referendum, and don't forget the ego of the man who followed it through, in this world you only reep what you sew. I'm usually a pessimist but on this occasion I'm an optimist after all isn't that what's pulled us through all these years, we all took a hit with the banks fiasco but but we're still here.:happy:. I hate to say this but IMO it looks very much like Britain has a lot of jealous neighbours, maybe they should take a leaf out of our book, "conceited" mmmmm maybe but "hey" that's all part of living in one of the best countries in this world. I did say, " one of the best".;)

Sod off Rha, that's the difference over here to the UK, we pay/have insurance and health care is top notch, you think I would want to go any where near your failing NHS?

Yes HT, but not for long. Just got back from my hols in Poole where my grandson had a convulsion, two para medics and a ambulance crew were there in six minutes, would have been the same for an old codger like me, so don't slang off the people who do their best, wouldn't say you live in the worst country in the world and didn't say we've nothing to worry about, but I'm glad I live here just like your glad where you live, it's horses for courses but I still believe theirs some joulousey not far from our shores.
 
It seems though a few other countries, perhaps including Holland, are now thinking that they should have a similar referendum too. A lot could happen in the next 2 years we all know that. Strange how no one mentioned, before hand, the possibility of another vote if certain criteria was not met on the first one? ie % votes of % turn out.

To be fair that's how it should be. No-one is going to get chucked out of England as far as I see it, just, hopefully less allowed in unless they're going to contribute instead of being a drain.

Can you all please tell me why (me being a European) why I see, for example, loads of closed down pubs in the UK?
Over here, they just keep opening new ones....:confused:
 
It comes down to the fact that it's nearly impossible to make money selling beer over here Mike. Rural pubs survive by selling food not beer. Nearly all are leased from Breweries on rents which make it nearly impossible to make a living. Take our local, a few years ago before Paul and Julie came here a couple took it on and he had a day job too but they could not make any money and even though they had signed up for several years the Brewery let them buy out of their contract and promptly sold it on to another hapless pair. Ad infinitum.

Tony.
