Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

the only really useful thing on MAM is the charts which are very easy to use
i guess this old dinosaur will have to learn how to use (and post) those on advfn

so switzerland will let in any old ragtag immigrant without a murmur?
if so, i bet the local residents where said immigrants rock up must welcome them with open arms

and what is the definition of "financially independent" and also what then happens after 5 years?

Switzerland does have an immigration problem, Cyners. It's become a halfway-house for those looking to get into Germany. It's a bit cold for them up in the hills though, so not a problem here.

After 5 years, you go from the B to the C permit which provides permanent residency. Financially independent means having comprehensive insurance and enough money in the bank not to be a burden on the state. What did you think it meant?

:o)

Does Switzerland have a similar benefits to ours?

ah so switzerland does not exactly welcome immigrants

"financially independent" is determined however that country chooses, whether switzerland or even the channel islands

Manuel.

They will have a special patrol on their border waiting to receive you when you flee from Little England.

The skiing's certainly better, Haystack. That's a massive benefit as far as I'm concerned.

:o)

i confess i absolutely would not want to live in switzerland
for me, it's just too sterile, and in some ways even worse than the channel islands

if the french tax regime was not so penal, then that might technically have appeal

You could always go the Silly Isles Alf.

they are not a tax haven :-)

Nor is this Country well not for us.

Manuel,

Do you pay tax?

I thought you were a descendant of old ragtag immigrants.

How the hell will I know how Brexit ends up with MAM pulling the plug on us on the 21st Feb.

I rely on Fred to keep me informed :-)

Jeremy Corbyn backs MPs' plan to force a second Brexit referendum

Jeremy Corbyn has endorsed a plan to force a second EU referendum as he bowed to pressure from Labour party members and MPs.

Mr Corbyn wants the Government to give MPs the final say next week on a second referendum. If a majority back a referendum, Parliament could force Theresa May to hold a new in/out public vote that could lead to Brexit being reversed.

Supporters of the so-called “People’s Vote” were jubilant tonight, describing Labour’s new policy as a “momentous” move that brought a referendum a “massive” step closer.

It came after Mrs May warned MPs that a fresh referendum would “damage social cohesion” because it would “undermine faith in democracy”.

Well the splinters in his arse from sitting on the fence so long finally got to him.

Should have Abbott back on QT , she said there definitely wouldn't be one and told people to be careful what they wished for as Leave would win again if there was one.

Can't wait for her spin on that.

Behave yourself Dil or you won't be invited to join the new site site -):

As if I need an invite from the likes of you Stan :-)

I've applied for the job of moderator.

Fred should appeal to the ECJ. He will suffer PTSD if he can't post his cartoons.

Labour voters waking up to the fact that JC is willing to shaft them at any price to try to grab power, and ditching his own long held beliefs about the European Union. Grubby little squirt that he is when it comes to the truth and integrity.

As for Abbott she will now be back peddling trying to put another spin on her words.

He won't be posting anything if I get the job :-)

The jobs already taken Dil.
