It's pure speculation and fear mongering that we MIGHT put it all into reverse. I cannot see any evidence this will happen.

Really? Well those who voted for brexit have already put the UK economy in reverse.

Of course but it is more likely. Build a new house on not very solid foundations - (Brexit) - there is no guarantee that it will collapse but stay with one built on very good ground to a high quality and there is a guarantee that it won't (The Social Chapter)

No, you said I was wrong with no evidence. It's up to you to provide it, not me. You have zero, that's why.

Unless it is reversed somehow the UK is leaving the EU in March 2019.

I ask you for evidence to back up your fear mongering claims and you give me this? You are totally clueless!

The economy is doing very well. How is it in reverse?

EU law is being repealed at the moment (Henry VIII bill) and the European Communities Act 1972 ceases to have effect on exit day.

Why are you expecting to keep your EU rights as you are leaving the EU.

price inflation is ahead of wage inflation making spending power less as time goes on. Sterling has slumped due to lack of foreign investment in teh UK since the decision was made to leave the EU. That investment has been redirected to the Eurozone:

"Slower growth will force UK to borrow more"

Germany is doing very well off the back of the euro - the DM would be worth way more in similar circumstances. France is doing ok - but nobody else is pulling up trees.

Nope, all the Eurozone countries are showing growth:

"For the first time in a long time, every EU economy is growing at the same time"

[Link]

That's a pretty amazing feat considering the number of countries involved. Even Romania is showing huge growth, 5.7% compared to the UK's 1.4%:

"Romania confirmed as EU’s fastest growing economy"

[Link]

A very big contrast to this:

"UK is the worst-performing advanced economy in the world, official figures confirm"

This has been happening for years so nothing to see here.
60% of the globe is currently fighting inflationary forces. The fault of Brexit? Obviously not.

Foreign investment has slumped in the UK since brexit and reflected by the plummet of Sterling. You can keep denying that but those are the facts. Another fact is that the Eurozone is booming and that all countries within the EU are showing growth with the UK at the bottom of the pile. The UK is in political and economic disarray which plays right into the hand of the other 27 nations during brexit negotiations.

I think that's right and for a long time ahead the UK looks risky.

No wonder seasoned brexiters like the MP John Redwood advise moving your funds out of the UK.

I've never denied it. You really should pay more attention.
Your second ''fact'' though is far from true. Fact.

A desperate move for a desperate situation.

You would think that you should think about your adopted states banks more than ours, given their situation:

How is the governments stance ‘desperate’?

What's my 'adopted' state then? I'm in Austria now for a while and then we'll see what suits us next. The problem with people like yourself is that you are a slave to your 'state'. I move to where suits my family best, that might be for a few months or a few years.

I'm sure that most of us live where "suits our families best" and for most of us that is the UK

Of course we are.
