You think that is abuse!Why do you have to be personally abusive?
Make an argument or say nothing.
It was a simple answer to your question.

Fortunately I do not have to rely on a state pension. What I get is little more than beer money, which is mostly what it is used for.If you retire abroad you still get your UK pension although frozen at the amount when you move. That will not change so? Point worth saying ! We do get the lowest pension amount in Europe, or certainly one of the lowest
Only Portugal because I was thinking of moving there, they have no issues with Brits. What country did you have in mind?Have you checked the residency rules that allow you to live there? I guess not.
Look again after 1st January.Only Portugal because I was thinking of moving there, they have no issues with Brits. What country did you have in mind?
Portugal is lovely, language is a bit difficult though. Greece and Spain work fineOnly Portugal because I was thinking of moving there, they have no issues with Brits. What country did you have in mind?
It is a good job that Brexit and specifically No Deal won't change a thing then.Portugal is lovely, language is a bit difficult though. Greece and Spain work fine
Assuming you are going to pay your way, you will have no problems.
Just reminded me, back in the early 80s I sold a decent sized touring PA system to a company in Porto, they paid in cash and, for a few days, I was a cash millionaire. Escudos admitedly, but a fair amount of dosh back then.
People at the bottom of the jobs pile were struggling long before brexit. Ive walked round the ball breaking, parasitic recruit ent agencies with my Brother. To be told “dont call us we’ll call you”, time after time. All while EU nationals in the same room have assignments.That analogy doesn't work though. Before Brexit and the Covid problem there were enough jobs, there weren't enough local people to do them. Why did they have employment agencies in Eastern European countries? You didn't answer the part of my previous post about prices going up if wages increase. How come the foreigners coming in to do the jobs can live off minimum wage, and still send some home to family?
As much as I hate Brown, it wasn't his appalling policies. He had no option. The whole banking system would have collapsed. Fiat currency is well passed it sell by date. The capitalist system was and still is taking its final breaths. I believe the resetting of the debt clock through covid can be linked back to the banking crash.Agree with much of that MrT.
The austerity thing, not so much. Browns appalling policies after the crash pushed borrowing through the roof, Cameron continued that and 'austerity' was the result. Not that there was much austerity, public spending increased year on year.
Historically fiat currencies have a life span of around 49 years before they collapse. We are long overdue that collapse.If the capitalist system is taking its final breaths, god help all of us.

It is not capitalism per se, it is just the ridiculously inflated currency system.Historically fiat currencies have a life span of around 49 years before they collapse. We are long overdue that collapse.
Obviously I'm not as rich as you, mines gone into silver. 100oz a year is my plan and so far I'm up to dateIt is not capitalism per se, it is just the ridiculously inflated currency system.
Need to be prepared though.
We need somewhere to live so we have a home, hopefully that will retain some asset value. Putting the rest into gold.
Good man.Obviously I'm not as rich as you, mines gone into silver. 100oz a year is my plan and so far I'm up to date
As much as i sympathize with being underpriced out of the employment market, do you really think that employers will magically raise wages in 2021 because EU citizens are no longer doing the jobs, in the middle of a pandemic and recession caused by brexit?People at the bottom of the jobs pile were struggling long before brexit. Ive walked round the ball breaking, parasitic recruit ent agencies with my Brother. To be told “dont call us we’ll call you”, time after time.

How come there are employment agencies in Eastern Europe? Give me strength! To maintain cheap stock levels, of course! Do you think these bastards setting up in other countries is good practice?
How do they live off minimum wage and send money home? They are economic migrants, they havent come for the weather, or to learn Shakespeare. Many of them live cheaply, in rented rooms, within rented houses. They work long hours and send money home. Very admirable, Im not criticising them for it. Things are different for people who have permanent lives, and the commitments that go with them.
So, the analogy doesnt stack up? Lets convert the biccies back to jobs, then. Then tell thirty jobseekers to take one job each. Surely you aren't going to tell me that swelling the applications for jobs with immigrants, doesn't make it harder to get one?
Why would they. They have what they want. A glut of applicants for every shitty job. I know many eu citizens, not one is planning to return to their native countries. Admit it, the maths are irrefutable, more people, less vacancies, lower wages. Those people are up against it because of free movement.As much as i sympathize with being underpriced out of the employment market, do you really think that employers will magically raise wages in 2021 because EU citizens are no longer doing the jobs, in the middle of a pandemic and recession caused by brexit?

Your last paragraph applies to any work market Think of the big US companies no unions very limited employment rightsInitially, it was for me. Ive nothing but admiration for anyone who uprooted and moved to another country, if they did it legally. The rules said that they could come, so they did nothing wrong. Ny issue is with the rule that instigated it, hence I voted leave. The bottomless supply of cheap labour keeps the low skilled competing for shit jobs, and their wages low. Undeniable.
Browns policy is no different from the present government policy regarding covidAgree with much of that MrT.
The austerity thing, not so much. Browns appalling policies after the crash pushed borrowing through the roof, Cameron continued that and 'austerity' was the result. Not that there was much austerity, public spending increased year on year.
The owners/ directors of companies, who obviously benefit from low wages.Who are they?
No, I wont. As I said, I have drawn my conclusions from my own real world observations. Why would I trust the musings if The Financial Times?You won't accept it from the Guardian, try the FT https://www.ft.com/content/797f7b42-bb44-11e8-94b2-17176fbf93f5
Silver, like gold will only become important when we start to come out the other side.Say the world goes tits up. How do you access your silver investments, to buy a loaf of bread or pint of milk? Will there be anything in the shops?
No one else, apart from my wife, has access to my metal. It is 'physical'.Which is what I thought.
But say things were really, really bad. Then those precious metals mean nothing. You'd have to survive to collect the windfall.
I don't think things will get that bad, but if I did believe they would then I'd be looking at stockpiling; rather than relying on some metal that someone else has access to.
