Bulletguy Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 The mists are beginning to clear. A Final Say vote before the end of 2020 is a “probability rather a possibility,” according to William Hill. It is the first bookie to give a second referendum a greater than 50 per cent chance of happening. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-second-referendum-odds-likelihood-bookmakers-william-hill-peoples-vote-final-say-a8685616.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowie Through his alcohol fueled haze he's trying to suggest the EU won't 'let' UK leave and hearing this about a second referendum has sent him into a state of manic depression! (lol) One of best posts i saw on another forum sums up how UK has gone about this. Quite witty but also close to truth! UK 'Hi we'd like to leave" EU "OK" UK "But we want some of the benefits we had by remaining" EU "Ok, we have some models of that already, and we could repeat most of those" UK "Nope we want a bespoke model" EU " That's not our preferred option, but we are listening" UK "We would like bit of SM, bits of CU, but no rules or ECJ, or ongoing contributions, and definitely no FoM" EU " Have you even looked at those other models" UK "Err no, we want entirely bespoke, so we get what we want and you cave in - Understand?" EU " You're new at this aren't you? Tell you what, we'll agree to reshape our nearest model, but you need to assure us you won't try to dump on RoI" UK "This is intolerable, you are making this impossible" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowie Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Well I don’t think it’s a very good analogy really. A hotel stay is a short term contract, where a decent nights sleep and an ok breakfast is all it needs to pass muster. A 44 year stay means you get on pretty well with the neighbours, play your part in the local community, bring your kids up in that environment and look forward, happy with your original decision. One night stands don’t figure. Granted, some people move house every few years, but most of us aren’t so restless. Snowie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I move further out into the wilds of Lincolnshire; not with a Conservative government in office, and the success of UKIP would discourage me. Places like Lincolnshire just don’t need Brexit, we need government that is not ideologically committed to eradicating public spending, and fostering the “cult” of self-interest. Well good luck to you, in Boston or Calpe. I hope you or health is good, now and into the future.

Ok; I don’t think it’s possible to split this thread, partly because this forum is not adjudicated, but it would be better moved on to, say"........So how do you feel about paying tax on house sales? You see I think it would be a very positive move. Less “Englishman’s home is his castle” more, “Englishman’s home is his biggest untaxed asset”” Move every 2 or 3 years, and you pay tax on the increase in value of that asset, stay put, and ok, we also pay, but on some carefully crafted formula. I think it would make house prices more affordable to our kids, and might encourage people to stay a little longer, obviously subject to all sorts of reasons why people move out of an area. I suppose some people might resent being “encouraged” to stay in an area, but communities might benefit from a bit less churn?
