Are the EU negotiators a bunch of bullies - Page 4

gorcol, I shall do my best to explain why I own a holiday home in Spain AND voted for a clean Brexit. I, or rather we, have owned a holiday home in Spain for a number of years. We have happily integrated where we could with the local people and other Brits there. It's an easy couple of hours trav...

...el time to the sun and relaxation and I truly hope to be able to retire properly there. I cannot see the Spanish government forcing ALL Brits out of Spain and abandon either their permanent residences or holiday property. What do you think that would do to the economy. Never mind the backlash toward Spaniards or indeed any other nationality living here in the U.K. Should we do the same and expel all European citizens from the U.K.  Do you honestly believe such a thing could happen when we exit. With a clean break from the bureaucrats and bullies of Brussels we will be able to decide on who comes here for work, decide on our own laws and give so much back to the fishing industry that was devastated by the E.U. We can negotiate a good trade deal for us and put the great back into Great Britain. The vote wasn't to leave and abandon Europe, just the principal of one UNELECTED body deciding our fate. One who would organise a united army, Isn't that what happened in 1939/1945 when someone had the brainwave to have a united Europe...... I believe that once the U.K. finally depart from these idiots that want to hold the world to ransom, there will be others whose economy has been devastated by the euro that will line up to do the same.

I voted leave too.
The EU cannot let us go, we are too big a contributor, the third largest after Germany and France.
It's not a case of bullying, it's sheer desperation.
If they don't make a big hoo haa about it and we come up smelling of roses then others will without doubt follow (the...

...y may do anyway, the collapse of the EU is inevitable).
The undemocratic politicians that want us to keep voting until we make the 'right' decision are pointing out how difficult it is to get a good deal.
I didn't vote for a deal, I voted to leave the EU in it's entirety not pay billions extra as a bribe to allow us to keep trading with them. 
We never voted to join in the first place, who do these clowns think they are? 
If we remain in any way shape or form I will never vote for anything again. It shows how pointless it really is.
We get told voting is the only way to ensure change. That's only true in a democratic country.

Is this the reason so many houses are for sale in Camposol ? Because Britisch owners are afraid to be expelled ???

gorcol, luck has nothing to do with it. Only common sense. You asked and I provided my opinion. I would be very interested to hear your views on the subject....or are you one of the many who sit back and criticise others for having an opinion which differs from yours. Tell me, how has U.K. benefi...

...tted from the European Union. We have seen the decimation of manufacturing in this country, whole coastal regions of the U.K. have gone into decline due to the fishing regulations brought in by E.U. We have more and more of our youth claiming benefits due to job shortages made worse by the unfettered numbers of immigrants arriving. So I would be willing to listen to any argument that tells me I/we are better off being in the E.U. CLUB. Just don't see it at the moment......
