How will Brexit affect you and your family personally?

[Schlong&Stable]

People claiming they wont be affected......

Possible tax hikes, affected.
Cuts to services, affected.
Price rises, affected.
Potential recession, friends and family losing work, affected(directly or indirectly).
Increase in travel costs, affected.

You may be able to comfortably absorb any costs but you will be directly affected, mainly in the pocket.

* Tax hikes are possible irrespective of Brexit
* I welcome cuts to our bloated public sector.
* Price rises are good if it helps our balance of trade.
* Some companies need to go under to make room for better companies.
* Travel is very cheap, there's plenty of scope to accommodate rises.

I am not more effected by Brexit than say, a new Labour government.

Some things get more expensive, others will eventually get cheaper.

Jobs will be at great risk, other job sectors may start to boom.

Time to start looking to be adaptable.

I'm already looking at taking on a second job delivering leaflets for a bit of pocket money and preparing to batten down the hatches.

This was never going to be easy, but to be shot of the EU it's a price i'm willing to pay.

If it means cutting down on luxuries, then so be it. You do what you got to do.

 

[Buffman]

Fuel price increased
Engineering consultancy work with a good order book (so I think I'm relatively ok... Altho company did urge me to remain..)
Buying a house now (here's hoping mortgage rates decrease prior to buying)
Mrs in public sector (relatively unaffected..)

 

[Things change I've changed]

I honestly don't know I don't think anyone knows.

I'm fortunate that I have dual nationality so it might prove to be useful. Fortunately any offspring we have can also get dual nationality.

I think it may affect pension and also concerned about property price and ending up in negative equity despite a good
LTV.

Job wise I think short term will be fine but thinking of moving on so it depends on how various companies react to brexit.

I don't plan on living here for the rest of my life so unsure on things but you never know.

My.concerns are more immediate I.e. 5-10 years. Been through tough times in the past and dont really fancy them again.

How have you got dual nationality?

This is interesting as I asked my mum today about her nationality and she said although she was born in the UK her farther kept his Polish citizenship, I now wonder if that would quality her for dual nationality because reading from the wiki,

"A child born to a Polish parent is a Polish citizen at birth. This applies whether the child is born in Poland or elsewhere."

I guess I need to get her to ring the Polish embassy for clarification?

I am not going to argue with you on the first paragraph you wrote as that is pointless. I respect your oppinion and our differences.

Second paragraph, this is a joke for those reasons:

- Collectively lose a little?? You throw out all foreign investment who 'add pressure' by buying houses, cars, spending money on clothes and restaraunts mind you paying 20% VAT which they rarely reclaim. By bringing outside money, strenghening Pound you would literally have UK economy go to stone age. Ridicolous point.

- Chav might be doctors? Have you ever travelled to countries like US?? UK already gave those chavs the best possible chance to become doctors. Free education, with cheap universities and even if you couldnt afford that, you could always go to another EU member state to study for next to nothing and easily transfer degree back. I suggest you go to US and try to become doctor by paying 250 000 in tuition fees alone with government loans covering barely any of that. Slap on healthcare costs and barely any assistance from the government and you're royally bummed out. Moreover, public education is a total joke here compared to UK and yet people still make it!! The chavs already got every single opportunity to do well yet they sat their ass on bloody sofa drinking their Stella.

So much opportunity has been given to them compared to the rest of the world, how much more do they need!? Not being able to compete with poor migrants who barely got any benefits from their governments is just a sign of being a total slob. They failed to make use of education to completely be in different work league to migrants and then they failed to be as hard working and commited as those immigrants. This is some bloody communism trying to protect these blood suckers of society if not Fascist since only reasoning behind it is because they're British.

The old lazy narrative, the British are lazy. It used to be that the Irish were lazy, drunk and thick. Chavs, slobs, blood suckers, communism and fascists, the narrative is very clear. If they don't agree with your world view they are to be denounced. It didn't even take much to get to it, your skin deep. You came to the UK because what the British had built, we didn't need you even if most of us don't mind you starting a new life here, opps you jumped ship and your money is caught up in Brexit. Like I said I will bite.

Sitting here hoping the property we've just sold does not fall through due to fear of dropping property prices, and higher living costs... only two people in the chain, so hopefully neither will change their minds [and are 'outers']. Its not our main residence, but all this adds to the anxiety in an already stressful time. At this point its too early to feel any direct effect ourselves as little has changed that has a direct influence, but we know of others that's not the case for.


We were also seriously thinking of starting our own business in the next year to eighteen months, but we will now wait until things settle, or have a clearer idea of this countries direction, before going down that route... if the situation allows us to do it at all.

oh, and we took a gamble on filling our oil tank up in the face of possible fuel price rises.

I wasn't born in the UK, though it shouldn't matter, but I guess it comes down to the country you're wanting to be a dual national of.

It would come down to what the Polish statutes are for you - for me, my off spring could inherit my nationality as well (I've researched it), and will be doing so as and when that time comes (providing they do not change the rules by then!)

 

[robfosters]

If Scotland get their wish, go independent and join the EU (looking unlikely), I should be able to get an EU passport through my scottish grandad. However, they may change that rule as they may be too flooded to give everyone with a scottish relative a passport.

Yup, people wont stop eating out when the recession bites.

We don't just rely on people eating out though, we have contractors all week from Sellafield too. We are a hotel. We get the holiday makers for 8 ,months a year too plus we have a very strong local trade, some of our locals eat 3-4 times a week! For a village with about 12 inhabitants, that's pretty good going We are also strategically based for climbers of Scafell, which people will always be climbing, recession or not. Everybody doesn't just stop because there's a recession, i never in the last recession, and i'm hardly loaded! I still ate out etc.

Thats all true, you will still be directly affected by brexit though.

I wish people would stop saying this.

The majority of Scots rejected secession. The only reason the issue continues to fester is because our Westminster leadership has been too bogged down with internal issues to lance the boil that is the SNP.

Whatever surge in SNP support there has been recently is not going to last indefinitely. They've had three terms in power and the cracks are now starting to show. If someone would actually take them to task on their record, the whole issue of independence would fall apart.

Get this as an example: The SNP have CROWED about how they want to fight inequality and how they will protect education, but under SNP leadership poor students have suffered. Inequality in education is much higher than in England.

How on earth can we be letting them get away with it? I seriously hope we'll get new leaders soon and with the Brexit issue settled (sans negotiations of details), some strong parties who can tackle the SNP north of the border.

my missus is from europe and i am more likely to migrate away from the uk to somewhere like germany

 

[jonneymendoza]

I don't remember anyone voting for you to live there, correct me if I am wrong.

but most people voted for him not to be able to live and work there now after we get out of the eu

 

[jonneymendoza]

Hope people here don't act this way!

A Swedish mother was speaking to her kids in Swedish while in York and was told to “f-off back to her own country” !

My wife and son are Swedish and have also had numerous problems of the same sort and I am starting to worry just how far these things will go.

there was another story up in manchesher telling a dark skinned ex army american guy to go back to africa in a packed public bus in rush hour....

 

[jonneymendoza]

I looked outside and yes we voted for Brexit, spiteful? No. If the EU falls apart this will still be my home. I have no interest in hopping from nation to nation in the hope for a better life. I would like a better life here, as I really like where I live. Its my home, its where I want to live out my life. You are chasing and hopping from nation to nation in pursuit of money, its merely a means to an end to yourself. You're using your host nations and not becoming apart of them, in effect exploiting them as you look out for a new host. This is our home.



Personally no, but collectively we all lose a little. Extra cars on the roads, extra housing pressure, extra planning, extra transport links, extra pressure on the employment market, lowering of wages, extra demand for goods, its just easier for government to import a work force than spend the money investing in a work local work force, them chav may have been doctors, teachers if government had invested in them.

imo this is a single minded approach to life. we are born in this planet and tbh the whole planet is classed as our home. life is too short to be stuck in one place just for the sake of it and you cant complain to people who have a broader sense of the world itself where there are lots to see and experience outside of the town u was born and studied as a child in.

live life

 

[jonneymendoza]

Missed this.

That person is a complete knob. The UK NEEDS immigrants, anyone who thinks otherwise isn't very well educated (if at all).

yes or just racist.

 

[crinkleshoes]

I work for a UK company and live in Switzerland.

If we leave the EU I will:

- Lose the right to live here.
- Lose the right to work here.
- If I get around the first points I will become a third tier option in the job market here as Swiss and EU citizens get preferential treatment and priority on jobs by law.
- I will get taxed twice on my income.
- I will have to pay for Swiss health insurance on top of the UK national insurance.
- My income, investments, savings and pension are in GBP which has already tanked and will plummet once we actually leave.
- My small company will struggle to stay afloat as we rely on business from all over the EU, but we particularly rely on UK businesses doing well which will not be the case for a long time.

Basically I will be completely screwed. Thanks guys!

I'm also in CH... not quite how you put it, but there's a good chance it will be harder... like for Americans trying to come over here.

They can still get the work, just the company have to state why you were a better choice over an EU national.

I'm not in support of the leave, but mis-information and emotional over-inflation of the facts don't help either side... Much more rampant of the leave campaign than the remain, of course.

- Lose the right to live here.
You don't actually have one at the moment, there is no basic right allowing non-Swiss citizens to stay in CH, even EU nationals - it's just easier - as long as you have a job or a company sponsors you to be here
- Lose the right to work here.
Not true - but it could become a little more difficult
- If I get around the first points I will become a third tier option in the job market here as Swiss and EU citizens get preferential treatment and priority on jobs by law.
Yes and no - it depends on the specialism and it's already the case that there is a bias toward Swiss individuals, just like there has been a bias toward UK citizens for UK jobs since the inception of the EU - like many other countries, I would imagine
- I will get taxed twice on my income.
Very unlikely, the UK and Switzerland have double-taxation agreements with each other which is already independent of the EU and also with a number of countries outside the EU
- I will have to pay for Swiss health insurance on top of the UK national insurance.
Again, unlikely - for a similar reason as the last point. However, in such a scenario - surely you would pay the amount you are due and your company would pay the extra cost for double insurance incurred by posting you here? I know mine did, at my demand, before we learned that I could bring the UK healthcare with me... I actually have an 11k CHF rebate coming in the next couple of weeks thanks to my company's lack of research
- My income, investments, savings and pension are in GBP which has already tanked and will plummet once we actually leave.
No arguing there
- My small company will struggle to stay afloat as we rely on business from all over the EU, but we particularly rely on UK businesses doing well which will not be the case for a long time.
Possibly, but we shall see... with the crash of the GBP - it's possible business in a number of pan-European UK-based business might actually increase and a lot of them will be able to be paid in EUR/CHF anyway as it's easy to setup an account in those currencies and then with the week GBP - the companies could make higher headline figures when they convert the funds themselves. The company who sent me to Switzerland were UK-based but being paid in USD even.

I don't remember anyone voting for you to live there, correct me if I am wrong.

Uhhh... what?

Well the UK lead the creation of the EU, so actually - yes - the UK and many other countries DID, in fact, vote for us to be able to move more freely in this area.

So... because there are a large number of racist bigots who fell for much of the scare-mongering, others should suffer their foolishness?

I doubt many who voted leave even thought about the ramifications, believing the lies of politicians and media. If they did, it's a little saddening that they didn't care.

I voted for what I thought was best for everyone in the UK based upon my ability to pick apart the fact from fiction which I spent many years learning. The evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of remain.

but most people voted for him not to be able to live and work there now after we get out of the eu

Quite right... this vote is something which has the basis to take away the basic rights of many - the right to freedom of movement.
