Child free tax care seems like a proactive money saving idea....

Leave campaigner on BBC1 was just promoting "child free tax care". Lols - you couldn't make it up!

Although to be fair, it seemed like she'd got in a bit of a muddle - but it made me guffaw. Nearly, guff-five. :)

Hi smurfy2001,

Re your post 117845:

"Looking forward to brexit, a massive market crash followed by a severe recession, huge job losses and cheap houses. Got cash on the side to sweep up."

Well done - at least you're open and honest on this aspect.

I wonder how many of the Leave camp - including some of the very big political leaders - have eradicated their long positions over the last few weeks and have built up strong short positions on stocks and sterling?

How patriotic would that be, eh? Advocating a strong independent UK whilst betting against sterling.

As least Portside is going long on Barc whilst simultaneously trying to shoot himself in the foot by seeing the banking sector in the UK decimated by any potential Brexit that he wants so badly.

Quite refreshing to seeing such honesty by smurfy and such selflessness by Portside.

Not so wise. We haven't got much fish around our coast. As for gas Russia and Kazakhstan are big providers. You need to keep up with the changes. Your stuck in the 60's. We have sold most of our companies because they offered the most money.

Those hard working MPs have destroyed our country, most of them would be unemployable in the private sector

When we joined the Common Market we had a fishing industry, a mining industry, a steel industry, a car industry, an agricultural industry. We now buy fish from Iceland and Norway, coal from Poland, steel from China, cars from Germany, France, Italy, Spain, pay subsidies to farmers who would prefer to work their land, electricity from France, gas from anywhere who will supply us. No, we cannot turn back the clock but we can take back control. Better in the EU? They killed this country. And guess what? We pay them for it

Portside - I only know a few MPs personally, but those I do know are very genuine and hard working. What would you consider a fair days work? Whatever your answer is, I'll bet it's less than the PM put in last week.

That’s it? That’s the big global concern?

Yeah, so, this is where it gets a tad more complicated. The general thinking is that many international corporations, notably those based in the U.S. and China, invest in U.K. operations partly so they can readily access the free-trade corridors the U.K. enjoys with the rest of the European Union. So if the leave camp wins, many of those companies will see drastically reduced profits.
The sudden need to reset tons of global investment channels — against the background of the ambiguous and extended period of the U.K.'s exit negotiations — could have a freezing effect on the whole region.
"Negotiations on post-exit arrangements would likely be protracted, resulting in an extended period of heightened uncertainty that could weigh heavily on confidence and investment, all the while increasing financial market volatility," the IMF said in an April report. "A U.K. exit from Europe's single market would also likely disrupt and reduce mutual trade and financial flows, curtailing key benefits from economic cooperation and integration, such as those resulting from economies of scale and efficient specialization."
Depending on how you measure it, the EU as a whole ranges from the first to the third largest economy in the world. And in terms of trade, the bloc easily topped the U.S. and China in both imports and exports.
So a slowdown there would mean a global slowdown. One that could last months — if not years.
