Was he living in Jordan when he voted remain for the UK? Is there not even ONE remain voter on this forum who plans to emigrate?

Does anyone who voted remain plan to emigrate and, if yes, which Country have they chosen for a better future?


They're keeping it very quiet, because secretly, they're all going to America; they love 'The Donald', really. The anti Trump people have all moved to Canada, so there's plenty of room! ;):D:D

If she did, that is vastly out of step with the Fox News coverage I have seen on the London attack. Vastly

We know why they're keeping quiet :p:

But if any remoaners do decide to have the courage of their convictions, might I suggest rural France as a new home? It smells of bs there too.

There has been page after page of how wonderful the EU is but not ONE of its fanboys plans to move there.

No he was here. Tbh he's not emigrating because of brexit, he was always going to be a citizen of the world, he only wanted the passport so he could work in Europe as and when he should so wish.

Fair enough TD. I'm just astonished that all the principled remainers are actually going to stay here where it is doomed :confused:.

What are we to think? That, all said and done, this is still a better place to be than the EU which is why skilled immigrants come here and will want to stay. Just like our home-groan (;)) moaners.

There is no longer a media output that does not have an agenda, and can be trusted for impartial views. You need to analyse that agenda along with their slant/emphasis on a particular story.

I don't think much will change for the vast majority of us, we'll just carry on as we always have, some might feel the worst of it others still will find opportunity, regardless of what happens even if it is the worst case scenario where we are eating voles within 2 months I'd still stay, there's no place like home.

I have gone, taken the plunge now setup in Austria

To be fair as well, brexit just speeded up my original plan

You're not in Kansas anymore Dorothy ;)

If we end up eating voles at least they won't be les voles that have to be straight.

To be fair other contributors may not have seen the question yet. We know 1andrew1 has bottled it and a few others legged it sharpish but we'll see...:D

An interesting point of view:

Mr Duncan Smith, the former work and pensions secretary and leading Brexit supporter, said that the EU had "decided to leave the UK" in the late 1980s when it embarked on what he said was a one-way process of economic and political union.Writing for the ConservativeHome website, Mr Duncan Smith suggested that, from that moment on, the UK's exit had been largely inevitable and he was confident about what lay ahead.

I also like Sadiq Khan's comment to the EU at the end of that link: "....a proud, optimistic and confident institution does not secure its future by fear."

It should be tattooed on David Cameron/George Osborne's foreheads :D

Hopefully the EU will offer British people the option to subscribe individually, as mentioned previously. It is a shame we didn't have to put our name to our votes last June, as Brexiters could then be denied this luxury. If they can spell or write their names that is....

I'm so insulted I think I might cry ;):D

It could get even worse than voles and we'll be eating poles :Yikes:
