i think Britain is fairly split over the monarchy...

charles grew up in the environment of "the crown" and has waited long enough that he'll definitely be king, unless he dies before his mother does. as far as william and george go, i'm not entirely sure either of them will be king, although i think it is more likely than not that the monarchy is here to stay until it stops making so much money for britain.

Been keeping an eye on all this. Rather crazy, too, i m h o.
Just took a quick glance at a little note on Gibraltar, too, with Spain wanting it to become part of their country.

brexit is utter, utter madness.

the UK is in complete shambles with the political landscape a clusterfuck of toffs trying to rip apart the state, rivalled only by labour and their complete inept leader.

a terrible shame, i see no positive way out of this. keep in mind that within 2 years, the uk will have had to establish the following:

a) a new economic pact with the EU, requiring the vast majority of EU members to sign off on

b) a solution the the northern ireland border with the republic

c) a small matter of the tens of billions of pounds the UK is presently obligated to pay the EU in the form of existing and ongoing projects (infrastructure initiatives, etc), pensions, etc

and nevermind many other "smaller" issues such as the fact that so much of existing UK law (such as regulatory measures on health and safety, etc) is mirrored on EU law, sensitive government data sharing with regards to terrorism/threats from Russia, etc...

at the end of the day, i expect no deal to be put in place and that WTO rules on tarrifs will be in place. this doesn't benefit anyone.

argh. absolutely fucking stupid...

as for the monarchy in scotland, should they leave, there has been a fair bit of talk of sturgeon and co holding a referendum on it.

i think that's relatively fair, even though referendums (and indeed elections) are typically decided by cretins, morons and douchebags.

Watching Theresa May nearly get laughed out of Parliament for saying that she has "listened very carefully to what has been said" and claiming there was "broad support" for her Brexit plan was pretty entertaining.

Were it not for the Trump presidency, this would be the greatest slow motion disaster in modern political history.

ChurchBay · 12-12-2018, 02:38 PM

Theresa May's biggest error was throwing in the notion and entertaining the prospect of a 'no deal' at the start of her premiership. From the very outset of the referendum result it should have been made clear that 'no deal' would not be an option due to the horrific economic consequences it would produce. But to placate her back benchers she has left it on the table. And we're in the situation, merely three months or so from 'exit day' where no deal is still a possibility. And that is really scary.

You hope that she will come to her senses and make sure, under any circumstance, that no deal won't happen and that in the cold light of day the choice becomes simple. Either take the deal that is now on the table or eradicate Article 50 and stay in the EU. Any talk of going back to Brussels to renegotiate and get further gains or to get a 'better deal', from both May and Corbyn, only serves to delay the process longer and with it make the prospect of no deal more possible.

The Tory backbench obviously want a no deal so they can impose their radical agenda - a USA plus that would make even Trump blush what with its privatised healthcare,protectionism galore along with a desire to see the social front move back to the days of when gay marriage and abortion was illegal and our authorities were aggressively racist and sexist.

However, you sense Corbyn wants a no deal so he can impose a more radical agenda in amidst economic and political chaos - Venezuela plus. Remember, that man has spent most his life getting off on romanticised imagery of social and economic chaos and red flag waving extremists rising up and overthrowing the establishment...all predicated from the foundations of his own private school upbringing of course. Thankfully, his MPs are wiser than he is and would never allow something like that to happen.

But as the clock ticks closer to exit day it's obvious that we're not being led by politicians. As disparaging as that profession has become in recent years, it is too kind a label to tag onto these individuals. We are being led by psychopaths who actually see opportunity in all this chaos. That's the most shameful thing in all this.

Even though there is a strong independent movement, there is no strong republican movement in Scotland or any other region of the UK. It's not even SNP policy to remove the queen as head of state post independence as Sturgeon and Alex Salmond before her reiterated.

Cheers all! I want to ask what you think how Brexit will affect real estate prices? I have some money and want to buy a house in the UK for commercial reasons but my friends claim it's not a good time to buy a house. So I made some research, they say it will be more difficult to take credit from banks and people won't be able to buy houses easily and because of this prices will drop. But on the other hand if euro would be more valuable comparing to pound does it mean it will be more easy for foreign investors to buy a house in the UK? For example you can check this article to see what I mean. Please help me out, I am not quite an economist!

Would love to hear your economic input.

I don’t think you know anything about economics.

Says the person who voted for a guy who clearly doesn't understand economics...or anything else of any importance, for that matter.

I don't think Interference has a proper forum going to answer Jake's question.

It seems there's at least two in Fym with good international real estate advice, though

My guess is credit will tighten for a while in the UK, but probably not that much if the market reaction to the initial referendum is anything to go by. If the pound drops relative to the euro, then yes, British property will be more affordable for you. The "crowding out" effect there will be that a lot of people will be thinking the same way as you, leading to increased foreign competition for British property, and thus higher prices, so with so many different variables at play it is hard to make any concrete determinations.
