I am wondering how many of you are for Brexit and how many against it?

I agree with you Marc.
Totally.

Very well expressed. This resonates with how I feel about the topicā€¦ [quote=ā€œAnna, post:4, topic:14364ā€]
Brexit is not a solution, either good or bad; Brexit is simply, a resolution to start looking for a new solution

Apologies Barbaraā€¦ I didnā€™t mean to offend with my choice of words and example. I do appreciate your position entirely and wasnā€™t referring to any age group specifically. The use of the word ā€˜childrenā€™ was more analogy than directly relating to the dynamics of those involved. All are affected. Yes Iā€™ve noticed the number of individuals involved, have done nothing but. Itā€™s pretty hard not to given the opinions that regularly unfold on social media. Letā€™s hope for an outcome that is at least bearable/manageable

Aly you really did not offend!

Not at all.

Every one has a right to be worried about the children.

They are the future of the world.

I still workā€¦

Many "older " people still work.

If France and Britain brake of their ties our health cover

may be taken away even though we paid taxes in UK for

ever and still carry on paying here we may not have a voice.

And for the Europeans in UK they may be told to goā€¦made to go.

Dramaticā€¦yes but very possible.

With respect a majority is a majority however ā€˜minisculeā€™ as you put it. The ā€˜losersā€™ are free to comment but it is unnecessary to vilify Brexiteers and suggest they were old, uneducated and misinformed. If youā€™re a French resident you had better start praying that FranƧois Fillon gets in next year. Another socialist government in France is highly unlikely and we all know what will happen if Marine becomes President. As for the Brits who have left the U.K. and donā€™t plan to return Iā€™m not sure what gives them the right to complain about the results, if they are not paying UK taxes and/or maintaining property there.

Oh, please what is going to happen if Madame Le Pen gets in. The French family that I stayed with during the week havenā€™t got a clue what she would actually do and they are usually very well informed.

For sure Angela you voted to Brexitā€¦and you are not holding back!
But you may have it a little wrongā€¦actually.
I paid taxes in Uk for more than 40 years and this included paying paye
for my staff ā€¦this also includes co operation and capitol gains tax when I sold
up to come to France.
The UK government was rewarded financially because I held tight to my
business. worked really hard sold for a good price.
I no longer maintain a property in UK I would of course have gained financially
by keeping a property there. But I have enough to concentrate on here.
I loved my fun times in London and I still go back to see some people.
Butā€¦and there is a big but.
I take it Angela that you do not live in France.
Are you hoping that we get Madam Le Penn as a punishment!
For speaking out!

Barbara, you obviously donā€™t read posts thoroughly or you would see that I voted to remain but choose not to whinge about the result. I am hoping that FF gets in. For your information I was brought up in France, went to school there, married there and now I am lucky enough to have the best of both worlds living 6 months in UK and six in France. I have three French grandsons who currently live in France so I am very concerned about the future of France just as I am about the future of the UK.

Try reading the French papers! Theyā€™re quite informative and readily available on linešŸ˜‰

What has the French papers got to do with what is really going on with the British peopleā€¦nothing.
Theresa May voted to stayā€¦and to get into powerā€¦ she is now a Brewit leader.
With homes in UK and France I am guessing that you have health cover in both countries and that you
do not workā€¦and are cosy enough not to need to express your needs for fair treatment.

The reply re French papers was to David Martin and absolutely nothing to do with the UK and was in response to his reply to me! I am covered by the NHS in Britain as a U.K. Resident and tax payer and at 67 I am retired. When in France I pay if I need to see a GP and donā€™t claim back on E111 as my visits to see a doctor are rare. Being ā€˜cosyā€™ as you call it can be put down to many years of careful planning, saving and at times being frugal. We all have a choice in where we decide to live.

Completely against it, I am proud to be European.

I do. They do. I thought you had a crystal ball. Go on spread rumours of fear they are more entertaining than facts.

Old? Ill-educated - the facts speak for themselves. Donā€™t tell me what to pray for. Marine Le pen is NOT socialist. Youā€™re absolutely correct, you are not sure - at all.

what rumours?

And yes I do have a crystal ball.

But it does not look at pensions!

Are you an accountant?

A person who truly believes in what is best for his/her country, would never lie back and accept a stupid decision, even if a miniscule majority voted for it. As I mentioned before, do you believe in slavery and hanging? Because, people fought incredibly hard to abolish them, against a one-time majority.

No rumours of fear David just what Iā€™m reading everyday in the French papers.

Sounds like you are angry with those of us who want to be happy here Angela.

Still waiting to learn what UK can gain from all this anti Europe stuffā€¦please do not say Please wait!!!

I see no definite signs that M Le Penn will get in.

And I do watch the news in Franceā€¦The French news.

Absolute poppy cock. Iā€™m delighted with people who are happy living in France. I love my life in France just as I love my life in Britain. I have no time for whingers wherever they happen to live.

A perceived right wing candidate who has many left of centre policies, who knows what she would, let alone be allowed to do. The scaremongers might portray her as her father in drag but that is a very long way from the truth. I feel you are being over negative (and a bit superior) in you posts. Many people living in France have real fears and concerns about their future. False reporting does not help. Unfortunately there is a lot of waiting to see what happens at the moment but not everything is actually that bleak.
