But, obviously, the 17million know better than this fella.

With a basic salary of around £140,000 p.a. and a guaranteed 40-65% of final salary for a max of 3 years as a 'transitional' allowance his return to the UK will be very good for our economy........ he'll be spending it here!

What about if we join the EEA? Same freedom of movement requirements I believe. I'm interested in knowing what the plan is for lowing EU immigration post EU exit?

I don't know - I cannot guess the exact outcome of Brexit negotiations and I have already said I don't think we will leave the EU and that a deal will be done. I was asked by Michael to interpret what someone in Leave said. I didn't say I agreed with it, I agreed with very little the Leave campaign said during the Referendum. If they had stuck to the fact that the EU is corrupt and beyond reform, that would have sat a lot more comfortably with me.

Read back what you have written. It makes no sense.

If we are out of the EU, there will be less EU immigrants, ergo, more housing for those already in the country. If we are in the EU, more EU immigrants will come to the country and, ergo, there will be less housing available.

Please point me in the direction of your response on the vision for Britain given by Remain because I cannot find it.

Jeez. You really don't get it do you. Normally i know you are just being mischievous but on this you really are having a mathematical brain freeze, aren't you? The pressure on housing is only going in one direction and that is up. 4-5 million extra people by 2027 who have nothing to do with the EU will be around the UK (just England and Wales and NI possibly). Unless you want to EUthanase the over 80's. Leave claiming that 'exit' would alleviate the pressure on housing was, basically, wrong and disingenuous. It will only increase as you well know.

The housing crisis is a separate issue from the EU. To marry the two is avoiding the critical issue of how to solve it.

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm as in the dark as you are about it all.. I wouldn't be surprised if we left but I'm not sure if politicians will agree on anything substantially different to what we have now. Time will tell. And yes and in and out campaigns did themselves no favours with how they sold their vision to people.

Hmm...reviving something I answered about 20 pages ago.

Gusset is spoiling for fight everyone.

You answered a different question.
Now Matthew, think carefully and pay attention to the question.
You alluded to the fact that none of 'my sort' voted for Brexit even though you had previously said No2eu was a left wing party from which TUSC was borne. Do you think any of my sort voted for Brexit? Yes or No?

Give it up Michael.

You are being deliberately obtuse. There are amny reasons why there is a shortage of housing in areas of the country - ageing population, immigration, planning regulations, empty properties - and it makes sense that if you limit EU immigration then you are going to reduce a demand from that source. What don't you understand?

I think you have emotionally put so much into this vote, you are suffering from nervous exhaustion. We have already had Gusset meltdown this week, for your own health, would suggest you take a breather.

I answered your question. The meltdown continues...

If you are spoiling for a fight, be a man and go push the biggest bloke you can find on your local and then call him a c***. That will get the response you want.

And this is the main problem. The blinkered and hubris-ridden won this week. Congratulations.

My reasons for voting no have been well documented and even Comrade Gusset agreed with them.

Cut out in the insults and stick to the facts.

Really?

Anyway to quote you yesterday.. People voted against the socialist social engineering project that is the EU.
Face it, you and your sort lost

Firstly, some of my sort didn't lose because they voted Brexit. So the question did any of my sort vote for Brexit yes or no?
Secondly the EU is a neoliberal project, quite the opposite of socialism.
