    You're right... I'll give myself less of a salary... Perhaps save it and buy a mansion in Bulgaria
    You reckon you'll be paid more? Already the pound is devalued by 20% or even 40% compared to 3 years ago, inflation will hit. If you get paid 10-20% more you'll still be getting less. You're not paying yourself less by staying in the EU, but you aren't paying yourself from leaving either....is a taxi job highly skilled? What happens with automated cars, will you be filling those sprout picking jobs vacated, I bet you'd want the top dollar for that without the competition

    • Brexit, in or out.

      I run a company that operates a double digit number of vehicles...

      There are give and take implications for me with the Brexit vote.

      I've taken a pay rise on the back of a year where I have implemented changes that have benefitted the company...

      I am good at organising and structuring things.

      • Some of you are right, that 'better homes' thread was nothing but a show to the brexiters that the poorer countries in the EU aren't full of gypo wagons and falling apart communist blocks. I think it has pointed it out, yet still many brexiteers have a 'not better than the UK' mentality. For those just have a holiday in france, Belgium, Germany, Austria or Luxemburg, honestly the lifestyles in those countries are so much better. It's not about yourself either, you maybe very contented (why then vote brexit) but it's about others in your family or if your heart changed for a crack at things in a different climate/culture. And yet I haven't heard on positive for brexit, quite worrying really a fundamental change has been made for a few disputable stories in the papers.

          I've renovated quite a few buy to let properties, always at the cheaper end of the scale. It's the brits that are the laziest, most inclined to drug use, do nothing. They hold the country back. If I can I always let to foreigners, they know what work means and are honest. The brexit was about blaming others by the lowest classes and it is that case when you analyse the stats.

          • Interesting stat, after brexit all 28 countries including the UK are in favour of remaining, yet we are being ripped out. I think the highest percentage has gone to Ireland, 80% in favour of remaining. That was a country which was nearly bankrupt, now by per capita gdp is one of the worlds richest. The EU isn't the bad guy the sun/mirror/mail/express makes you believe. Belief is a big word, like reality it can be constructed, the world really was flat in old world thinking. But the truth, that's a different story, it can never be bent or constructed (greek philosophy).

            • Brexiters reckon a £7 to a £9, a £8 to a £10, a £9 to a £11, a £10 to a £12, lets see what a price inflation and someone at the foreign secretary say 'who are you', 'you drive a taxi, we got thousands of them here'. 'But I'm British, we voted out cos we're important', they'll say to you....'look mate the only person who finds you important is yourself, goobye and don't forget to close the door on the way behind to your rain sodden country'. You've voted rights away and this is what it looks like.

                But what about the people of Papa New Guinea? How do they feel about Britain's decision over Britain's own sovereignty and ability to govern itself fully? Or Western Samoa? Perhaps we should send envoys to discover what they think too? Their opinion on the matter would be just as valuable as that of Iceland or anyone else who is outside of the UK electorate... Worthless.

                It's a good thing you don't measure the financial position of a country per capita then. I could be wrong... But I reckon there could be a fair few more to cater for in the UK than in Luxembourg.

                Brexiters reckon a £7 to a £9, a £8 to a £10, a £9 to a £11, a £10 to a £12, lets see what a price inflation and someone at the foreign secretary say 'who are you', 'you drive a taxi, we got thousands of them here'.
                I don't see why a British citizen, regardless of their ancestry or place of birth should be concerned with the whims of foreign policy... If you're a citizen, you're not a foreigner.

                'But I'm British, we voted out cos we're important', they'll say to you....'look mate the only person who finds you important is yourself, goobye and don't forget to close the door on the way behind to your rain sodden country'.

                The only people important to me are my family and myself and if you think otherwise for you then you're fibbing on a forum to impress strangers. Why on Earth do you measure the value of these Isles based on the weather?

                By the way, not that it matters... I voted to remain. Irrelevant news though, the majority carried and it's now up to the powers that be to do what they want with it... Que sera sera

                    Did you provide statistics to prove to the drivers that the company could take on X amount of cars and it wouldn't effect their takings?

                    • I don't take on cars... I own the cars, pay a wage for people to drive them.

                        So now we see your true reason against brexit, a budding buy to let magnate making dosh from foreign workers, possibly a slum landlord with twenty bulgarians in each property, sharing beds on different shifts, each paying £500 a month for their one damp little room complete with a second hand baby belling, a kettle and a two bar electic fire.

                        Move to Bulgaria then and do the same, you'll soon discover that laziness and drug taking isn't the sole conserve of the british. I work with a lot of poles and most of them do only as much as they can get away with, are heavy drinkers and smokers and two of them run a tobacco smuggling operation.

                        Stats can be stoked to mean anything; it's always stated that flying is the safest form of travel because deaths are calculated by miles travelled, but if deaths are calculated by journeys taken then trains are safer with cars a close second.
                        There are professional statisticians for a reason.

                        And you seem to know an awful lot about about what the right wing press are saying, still I wouldn't expect a property magnate to read the Socialist Worker.

                        • One comment...before Brexit the pound was worth $1.88(CAN) and yesterday it was worth $1.65(CAN) so anything imported into Britain and paid for with pound sterling has got to cost more. However, if Britain can survive with no imports then no problem.

                            I shall be moving, unless I am unable to due to brexit bureaucratic changes, if that's the unfortunate case I'll come back to the UK and drive my motor through a kipper/britain first street march :biggrin-new:

                              If you need to gain a work/residency permit, and we are out of the EU freedom of movement, you will have to go to the foreign embassy operating in your country. The dynamics will be different to what it was before. Currently you don't need permission to live in Paris/Berlin/Barcelona/Rome/Athens and set up a company or even get employment, after brexit is carried through in the total fashion which I think it is you'll need to go through bureaucratic processes and need 'permission'. Our passports will be worth much less than before, the economy will be poorer, oppotunities will be less and horizons limited. If you look through the foreign third national legislation to all of the EU countries they don't even need a reason to send a foreigner packing, they may do so so that one of their business mates can take over the little enterprise you've started yourself.

                                Hurry up and go then, but please find somewhere out in the wilds of Bulgaria with no internet access.
