Who would have thought?

Ahh there you are. Hope you made provision properly and maintained a private pension, although the EUSSR is doing it's damnedest to prevent the City of London providing the means to nurture it and the British Government from affording the state pension. Unless of course you have been "employed" by the EUSSR itself, then of course a gold plated pension with knobs on and large ones all round is guaranteed as long as you don't spill the beans and keep talking them up. A sort of long term bribe I suppose. It is a shame you feel that you won't live long enough to grasp the freedom and feeling of independence that our young people will, but it is worth feeling a sense of anticipation and even envy for their opportunities to blossom without the dead hand of bureaucracy and corruption that they would have had to struggle against or meekly accept like vassal slaves. Most young people seem not to worry to much about debt and the right minded amongst them just get on with it and do it without relying on the nanny state if given some hope. Did we not manage to pay off the National debt that was incurred the last 2 times we had to finance a fight to the death against evil and tyranny? They will manage ... so stop hiding behind the children, they will have their own responsibilities and do not deserve to inherit your fears and reticence.

In reality the UK national pension is a giant ponzi scheme – perhaps that’s why they have renamed it.

Note. He is about to retire and cares not that paying off the pandemic bill will fall to others rather than him, but is concerned that he can't work elsewhere despite approaching retirement. More false flag grumbling and cant. Must be a so shall ist then.

Togo – whatever you do, do not buy a copy of Private Eye – you will so distraught to learn of the hypocrisy, greed, corruption and general wrong doing of our MPs and other leaders (and that’s only those stupid enough to be caught out).

[Hymie]

Togo - I did not say I have lost the right to live and work....., I said WE have lost the right to live and work...

Given that I am at the end of my working (and near the end of my non-working) life, that loss is minimal to me – but all future generations have lost these rights.

Oh my she sounds angry.

[Hymie]

Togo – you claim that I care not that paying off the national debt will fall to others.

That is not what I said, I said that I would not live long enough to pay back the national debt – which is not the same at all.

If I had a few trillion pounds in my back pocket – I’d gladly pay off the national debt.

You've lost the automatic right to live and work in the EU. However, if you have something to offer there is no doubt you will be accepted. You simply can't go roaming about there in the off chance of picking something up. Of course there's only 67m people in the UK who have lost that right. In the EU there are around 500m people who have been similarly disadvantaged and that's quite important.

[Jackdaw33]

To live and work in another country should not be a 'right'. It is a privilege.

[Hymie]

It looks like NJ is coming around to my way of thinking – that Brexit has disadvantaged many people, not only in the UK but across continental Europe.

[Hymie]

By leaving the EU we have lost that privilege.

[Jackdaw33]

No, you haven't. You have merely lost the right to automatically do so. The privilege remains at the discretion of the host state.

//It looks like NJ is coming around to my way of thinking – that Brexit has disadvantaged many people, not only in the UK but across continental Europe.//

No he isn't.

It's unfortunate that some people seem to think they have been disadvantaged. They will just have to adapt. No country should have to unconditionally accommodate any of the 500m people who want to pitch up to live and (possibly) work regardless of their capabilities or their finances. The wellbeing of the majority I'm afraid trumps the requirement of the few who want to roam around unfettered. It's utter lunacy and has rightly been stopped. If the rest of Europe wants to continue with it that's their affair.

[Hymie]

NJ – they might think they have been disadvantaged, because you said that they have been (similarly) disadvantaged (read your post above).

[Jackdaw33]

I think NJ's point is that what is to their disadvantage is to our advantage.

[Hymie]

Why would you want to disadvantage other people?

[royfromaus]

Already by the act of leaving, we have lost the right to live and work in any member country, and there are many, many more losses (as a result of leaving).

Rights for workers? Why is the EUSSR signing up a trade deal with China but refusing to insist on the clause that bans them from using slave labour in medieval conditions and denying basic human rights for millions. Answer. They will need the Chinese to bail them out when the ponzi scheme collapses without our money. Talk about selling your soul to gain a trade advantage over everybody else in the World who rightly abhors such arrogance and hypocrisy. Wait till all the EUSSR jobs are outsourced to China, cheaper than local labour. No protests about slave labour, past, and certainly not future in China.

//Why would you want to disadvantage other people?//

For the reasons I outlined at 22:51 yesterday. Extending their privileges plays second fiddle to the greater good.
