Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

They were the posters that May authorised when she was Home Secretary
The separatist ones were from UKIP.
Remember when they used a picture of Syrian refugees [not immigrants] and inferred they were queuing up to come to the UK. Not forgetting the 51 million Turkish residents who would also be joining the queue. That really shook up the OAPs.

The one I answered clearly said immigrants not refugees!

What line of work are you in?

Domestic appliance repairs, mainly in managed properties in London.
Been in the trade for 36 yrs, with 20 up town with the managed stuff.

Not meant to be flippant but.
What’s the referendum got to do with loss of work?
If your machine breaks you have to fix it surley.
Or are these properties becoming empty.

and our ever more desperate pursuit of economic growth via the growth of population .

So true.

The people renting the properties I deal with are mainly foriegn nationals, many in the finance world, and their companies are relocating them to other European cities, back home or to other countries outside the EU.
As a result the properties stand empty and therefore nothing breaks down.
Of course the Salisbury poisonings didnt help because nearly all the Russions went back home straight away, and although they are returning now it hasn't improved it mouch.

I was sitting in the hospital waiting room waiting for my Mrs yesterday.
The only paper available to me was the Daily Record [Scotland's best selling newspaper which I would normally only touch wearing rubber gloves].I had to turn to page 9 before I spotted the word Brexit.
Brexit is not a big issue in Scotland.
Most residents seem content to see the Tory and Labour parties blow each other up and see what comes out in a couple of years time.
Both parties are now more or less dead meat in Scotland.
The Wings guy avoids Brexit for that reason but has just posted up this.

Pretty astute summary of where we are.
Viewers outwith Scotland might find it interesting

So true.

It's almost as though we need a completely new economic model. Because Capitalism has a fatal flaw, growth can't be eternal when you have finite resources...

 

[SocketRocket]

Remain MPs and Labour party politic players have been doing their best to disrupt the Governments negotiating position from the start and now they have the audacity to say the outcome is a bad deal. You couldn't make it up.

Maybe the answer is to reduce demand.

I thought there was a shortage of property available.

Not in the £800 to £5k a week area.

That's the 'duty' of HM's Oppositiom! The fact that they demonstrate their ineptitude..well...!

Plenty of expensive rental properties in the Home Counties are being let - a large proportion to those in the Financial area - though that market might disappear suddenly!

Would the projected 30% drop in house prices in expensive areas not spike a rental surge.

Who knows!

And why would you be interested?

Why does capitalism need growth? If the idea is to make £100 from a product with a 20% net profit for reinvestment and share dividends, why do you need to make more next year?

Add to that the alternative to capitalism isn't exactly a benefit to the average worker
