So, Brexit might have something of a silver lining then? Or will the British economy tank so much from the real estate market crashâs impact and the EUâs example-making that, no matter how much the London market prices normalize, average British subjects still wonât be able to afford housing?
Not answering your question, but want to point out that despite the urban legend to the contrary, Britons are citizens, not subjects.
Signed,
Had to answer this question on the âLife in the UK Testâ to attain British Citizenship.
The Brexit is a gift that keeps giving. Canât stop laughing with schadenfreude - this whole thing is stupid beyond believe.
Latest joke is Johnson refusing to run for leadership.
Youâd think that career politicians had even the slightest inkling what theyâre planing to do if the campaign they backed won. Instead we get collective shrugging and lotâs of âWhat now, guys? Guys?â
Huh. Noted. Wonder where that particular one comes from?
From what I can remember, it used to be true, but the EU insisted that British people be citizens.
Iâm too tired to go looking to find out which treaty it was in.
While this would have been great news a year ago in that it might have helped bring a soft landing to Britainâs overheated housing market, I feel this is likely to be one of a huge pile of things thatâs likely to cause a very hard landing.
And as much of the world learned in 2008, thereâs no escaping the system. If thereâs a huge housing crash, life will become quite brutal for all but the poorest of Britons that have nothing to lose.
Much as I disagree with the UK voters choice to leave the EU, it was their choice, and I hope the cost is as minimal as possible for both the UK and the EU. I am pessimistic, however, as to what will constitute minimal.
Unlike most of the politicians in my country I think they should suffer, hard. Stupid people apparently donât get the lesson by any other means. The superiority complex in the UK needs to die. Being the âsick man of Europeâ once wasnât enough it seems, perhaps a re-run will help realizing the empireâs gone.
âSpare the rodâ, eh? Thatâs an attitude thatâs had a lot of company over the last several thousand years.
I look at it more like a divorce. Iâve seen too many where the need to punish the âguiltyâ partner has laid waste to both parents and the children.
Moral Hazard. That is all.

Quick, someone get me a shovel and a dynamo! Iâm going to dig up George Santayana and solve the worldâs energy needs!
