      The retirees will die off in the near term and it would be foolish of countries like Spain to cut themselves off from that source of income
      What I want to know is why so many European contractors are so bothered for us here in the UK? It's very kind of them to worry.

        What, like this bloke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          As the Mash is the only news outlet that makes sense in these troubling times:

          Survive five years in this twat factory and you’re in for life, EU citizens told

          Survive five years in this twat factory and you're in for life, EU citizens told
          23-06-17


          EU CITIZENS have been told if they can manage five consecutive years in the twat factory that is Britain, they can stay for life.

          The generous offer means that after just half-a-decade of residence EU nationals would be fully entitled to work, pensions, NHS care and housing, none of which will at that point exist.

          Marcus Büchner, a German living in Birmingham, said: “It is the same basic principle as the Hunger Games.

          “Survive Britain, kill all those who are trying to kill you, abandon your civilised values and be granted a reward that could not ever be worth the price you paid.

          “What terrible things will have happened to me after five years? Will I enjoy bitter? Will I support Aston Villa? Will I understand what the **** the point of Coronation Street is?

          “Congratulations, Britain. You have called our bluff. Five years here would be an eternity. We will all go back to our countries that are nice.”

            The latest news is that the UK proposition it's a first step but not enough.

            The UK needs to work harder.

              I thought the UK can now do what it wants. Isn't that the whole point?

                No. The EU needs to move next.

                  The UK could always do what it wanted.

                    That's the last thing the UK wants. Like Greece the UK wants to blame everyone else without acknowledging their faults that led them to their indebtedness.

                      EU economic policy always favours Germany. When Greece needed high interest rates it got low ones as that was what Germany needed. And vica versa.
