Can you ban a forum member for ignoring another forum member? Nah, we've all been ignoring Nobby since day 1. Mainly when he says he doesn't eat sausage for tea every day. I'm going to ignore that. |

Breaking news..... "The London Stock Exchange Group (LSE) and Deutsche Boerse have agreed terms for a "merger of equals". The tie-up will create one of the largest exchange companies in the world with a combined value of about £21bn." "The LSE and Deutsche Boerse have set up a referendum committee to consider what impact a Leave vote in the EU Referendum might have. At this stage, though both companies say the outcome of the Referendum is not a condition of the merger because they believe the combined group would be "well positioned to serve global customers irrespective of the outcome of the vote". However, they added: "The outcome of that vote might well affect the volume or nature of the business carried out by the Combined Group. " About 30% of the new group's revenue would come from the UK, 15% from Germany, 30% from the rest of Europe, 19% from North America and 6% from the rest of the world, mainly Asia." In other words, it's doesn't matter a jot to this new company if the UK is in, or out of the EU! BBC News |

"The 5 per cent VAT on women’s sanitary products dubbed the ‘Tampon Tax’ will go to several women’s charities including White Ribbon and Breast Cancer Care, George Osborne has said. The Government has been under pressure to axe the tax, which its detractors say represents a tax on women. under EU rules, the UK does not have the power to cut the VAT on sanitary products and 5 per cent is the lowest rate permitted. The VAT for most goods in Britain is 20 per cent." So, the democratically elected government of our sovereign nation cannot stop this tax being applied! Only a small point, but it demonstrates why we should vote "OUT" ! Tampon Tax |

It's absolutely ridiculous - whilst as you rightly say it's not a massive issue in comparison with some others but it's symptomatic of the whole rotten process. |

This from last year...........
"The government’s “tax lock commitment” was put in doubt on Thursday after Europe’s highest court ruled that its reduced value added tax rate on energy-saving materials flouted EU rules.
The Treasury is expected to be forced to increase the VAT rate on insulation, solar panels and other energy saving equipment from 5 per cent to 20 per cent, in spite of plans in last week’s Queen’s Speech to legislate against VAT increases.
The European Court of Justice sided with Brussels, which argued that the UK’s reduced VAT rate of 5 per cent for the supply and installation of energy-saving measures was unlawful. The court concluded that the UK “has failed to fulfil its obligations” under the latest VAT directive."
Didn't somebody once say something about No Taxation Without Representation ? So when Obama comes over to the UK and starts calling for the UK to stay in the EU, we can tell him to Foxtrot Oscar !
Vote "OUT" !

It's their tax, their rules. leave the EU and we have different import rules to follow (and yes, more tax to pay too) for producers mainly in South Africa. The very same reasons led to a national shortage of these products in Argentina (link here: en.mercopress.com/2015/01/07/shortage-of-tampons-in-argentina-because-of-import-restrictions ) and a subsequent rise in toxic shock syndrome (as a result of women 'rationing' themselves) and therefore also a higher cost to healthcare too. Be careful what you wish for. The grass is always greener on the other side until you get there and you realise its actually made of rancid saturated tampons and septicaemia. |

Why would we pay more tax for products from South Africa? Please explain. Argentina had a problem because of their own import restrictions? Why on earth would the UK apply those restrictions? Please explain. Why would healthcare be more expensive? Please explain. |

The pro-EU lot have been influenced via the education system and the media.
There is no reason for any UK worker to support the free movement of labour. Sounds good but only benefits those willing to work for less.
Get out of EU and watch the property market disintegrate - brilliant news for me and millions of other younger folks.
Without being too big headed, I make double the average income as a minimum, but I cannot afford to buy. I will not spend 300k on a house in a standard neighbourhood.
We have a generation of people who have had the life of Reilly - double digit investment returns, final salary pensions, generous state benefits and massive house price inflation. It's about time the reality creeps in - sitting on a house for 10 years should never be a route to wealth and it won't be forever. When he bubble is burst (and burst it will) then people wil starry realising that there is no easy money. They've been very, very lucky. Not astute, not a maker of good investments. Any investment analyst would tell you the uk res prop market is a massive bull bubble. The government and just plain chance are keeping he thing propped up. I'll never vote Tory again as all their tax breaks are aimed at stoking this stupid market further. There should have been massive multiple repos in 09-11 like early 90s but the bubble continues.
Lose the demand from net migration, build build build - jobs for ordinary folks. Disposses the landed gentry of middle class buy to let Barrons. The market should have already done so but the manipulation keeps it going.
Poor housing and low wages are the main causes of poverty here, not Starbucks paying less tax or the lack of another 8p on the living wage. These problems are caused by immigration and the only beneficiaries are the wealthy and large corporations. f**k them!

Here's a scenario:
Couple earning net 50k per year (after tax)
Buys property of 300k with 4.5 interest rate.
Annual interest of £13.5k =! 25% of net earnings.
Britain leave eu.
Sterling plummets. Interest rates hiked by 300 basis point.
Rate at the bank now 7.5.
Interest now 22,500. Almost 50% of net.
How will prices keep rising when the rate raising cycle begins?
Houses are already at the brink of unaffordabilty.
In this scenario we are talking of a BOEBR of 3.5 which is peanuts - this could look a lot worse.

Why would sterling plummet just because we leave the EU, we could well become a financial safe heaven as the rest of the EU disintegrates? Regardless house prices wouldn't become unaffordable there would just be a house price correction, which is really what the young people of this country to make property affordable again.
Just more scare mongering why don't the "stay supporters come up with the positives if staying in rather than trying to find negatives which don't exists? Yesterday it was £500m higher energy bills which actually translates to 20p/40p a week price increases for most energy users.

How do you make money form your house increasing in value, it's not gold you can't just sell it amd make a profit? If you sell your house then unless you want to downsize size or move to a less affluent area you've got to buy another one for the same price? |

Sterling will plummet for a few days (maybe a week). Many believe this is because the markets don't like uncertainty, but it will only plummet because about half the traders don't like uncertainty. Sterling will then bounce back. Half the traders will have made a killing betting on it going down and will then start making money by backing it going the other way. The only people in the real world who will win/lose out are those small companies who import/export (the big companies have much better and normally fixed rates, or can wait it out) and those people going on holiday in June/July. In other news, anyone else in New York the second week of July...? |
