None of the remainers seem keen on drawing attention to today's strong retail figures,perhaps because they are way stronger than the 'experts' predicted.What a surprise!
As for property in France,once you have paid officialdom to deal with your property transfers/sales,they are legally responsible for anything going wrong.Nothing is any more complicated than British property,for which you employ a solicitor anyway.Wonder what property purchases in independent Catalonia will be like?

The most important thing we can do more than anything else in this country is try and boost manufacturing.

Good for him. My experience and that of most poeple is that property ownership in France is a frigging nightmare. My assesment of your BIL's experience is that nothing has gone wrong................yet.
Which Tory's will never do.

Do behave are you suggesting then that 2 of my dads (rip) old pals that i happen to know well were lying about living and working abroad ? one made a go of things in Spain 1971 where his wife followed shortly afterwards, another moved and settled nearby the following year. both are now back and the last time i see them both was at my dads funeral in 2012. as far as i am aware they are both still alive.. would you be prepared to call them a pair of liars to their faces. ?
That's 3 if you include the mrs as well that i know of, there must have been plenty more. no doubt next you'll be applying they settled there illegally.

I think you've said this before so please forgive me if I quote the good professor again: “Over time, if we left the EU, it seems likely that we would mostly eliminate manufacturing, leaving mainly industries such as design, marketing and hi-tech. But this shouldn’t scare us." Patrick Minford, one of the few leading economists to actively support the Vote Leave campaign.
(We're on the same side in wanting the proportion of British employees working manufacturing to revive though. A few years ago Matthew Parris wrote a despairing piece in The Times on the subject. Various experts, all of the right and most apparently sceptical of the European model, wrote to say he was quite wrong - that in a modern post-industrial nation like the UK or US manufacturing just didn't matter. The arguments rumbled on for a while until a reader from Germany wrote to describe the fundamental effect the presence of a successful manufacturer had on a local community's sense of wellbeing and worth. The debate stopped right there.)

and meanwhile the Bank of England issues rate increase warning to the mountain of £200bn household because of Brexit;
The £200bn of debt amassed on credit cards, personal loans and car deals is now at the same level it reached before the 2008 financial crisis and there are fears that rises in interest rates could put more households under pressure. Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, warned on Monday that interest rates were likely to rise in response to rising inflation and skills shortages brought on by Brexit that will increase pressure on wages.

but don't let Brexit worry you. It's really going to be ok, honest.
You mean be more like the Germans?

Don't forget the 'destroyed our children's futures' grizzling
I'd never say that. Who did? Perhaps you're getting confused about people saying that leaving the EU will make it harder for young people to live, work and study across Europe.
Many remainers - me included - voted as we did because we honestly felt it was in our children's interests. Why do you regard that as grizzling?
I'm glad that we can agree on this point.

Seen it written at least once read back through the thread especially the time after the result. Would you prefer the term Hyporbolic crap?
