I don't think so; whether you want to accept it or not is your prerogative and mine as well. The wheels are falling off all the grand idea's of the gang of ultra right wingers presently leading the Tory party and the people are starting to realise they've been conned by politicians who are more concerned with lining their own pockets than the well being of our country.
We shall have to disagree then, but if you think that Britain is not leaving the EU, despite Article 50 being triggered then there really is very little else I can say.Jim B wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2017 8:16 amI don't think so; whether you want to accept it or not is your prerogative and mine as well.

Not sure why you are even suggesting I support ultra right wing and rich? I said that Britain is leaving the EU, irrespective of anything else or indeed who I support, Britain IS leaving.
Gosh, sounds like 1971 and why don't we join the EEC? ALL OVER AGAIN !!!Jim B wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2017 8:16 amI don't think so; whether you want to accept it or not is your prerogative and mine as well.

I´m a bit surprised to read that, especially the part on the NHS. It doesn´t seem to match with what I heard on BFBS and read in my favourite forum for English speakers in Germany where there are many Brits telling not so nice stories about e. g. the NHS. I don´t know whether these stories are just unfortunate exceptions but if they´re not the NHS seems quite dysfunctional. E. g. deaf toddlers being given one cochlear implant only rather than two because "that´s enough" or people having to wait for months to get a slot for their hip replacement or heart surgery or have been refused more costly cancer medication even though standard therapy wasn´t working. Already, when I was still working in a hospital more than 20 years ago we had Brits coming to Germany for heart surgery because they didn´t want to wait for their NHS appointments (paid for by their employers who didn´t want them to be on sick leave unnecessaryly).Poppy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2017 9:08 am I admit that I have only been back in the UK for a short time and am not in a big city but I was surprised by how good life is still here.
There is plenty of affordable houses been built and still being built and the best interest rates for savers are the save to buy schemes giving approx 3%. My landlords son is 24 and is buying with his girlfriend a 4 bed detached house - she is a civil servant and he is in IT and they had help with a low deposit scheme. I have seen no evidence yet of a poor performing NHS( although I accept there must be in some areas) We have both been accepted on Doctors panels and NHS Dentists with no problems at all. Within 6 weeks of arriving we were both invited to be on the bowel cancer screening programme and special clinics for our health conditions ( diabetes and COPD) Food is relatively cheap and we live well albeit overall our cost of living is higher than in Cyprus - in the main due to council tax etc but at least we see where that tax is going. Somehow,certainly by accident, I have gone on to some local site that keeps sending me job vacancies of which there are plenty - admin, retail etc which also surprised me.
In my opinion Britain is still a great country and will survive and prosper post Brexit.
If you agree that there is no going back, shouldn't it then follow that those of us who voted remain try and make the best of what we think was a bad decision, and act positively for the benefit of Britain and it's future place on the World stage?Happy in Cyprus wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2017 1:06 am It's not that we're 'prophets of doom' or 'whinging all the way', but simply trying to point out that the UK has made an error of cataclysmic proportions, with no going back, as will become evident with time.
Excellent post Dominic. I have been saying just that on numerous threads for weeks, suggesting the "Remainers" should now get behind the decision for Brexit. But some keep on scaremongering hoping to upset the Brexit process.Dominic wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2017 10:36 amIf you agree that there is no going back, shouldn't it then follow that those of us who voted remain try and make the best of what we think was a bad decision, and act positively for the benefit of Britain and it's future place on the World stage?Happy in Cyprus wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2017 1:06 am It's not that we're 'prophets of doom' or 'whinging all the way', but simply trying to point out that the UK has made an error of cataclysmic proportions, with no going back, as will become evident with time.
I voted remain, but I really can't see what anybody can hope to achieve by banging on about how bad things are going to get, in their opinion.
What can you still do now that May has a majority behind her in Parliament?
So let me get that right, Jim,Jim B wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2017 9:24 pm We don't need you to roll over, it looks like the Government is starting to roll over.
