    As a Brit living and working abroad, no.
    Try getting a Christmas card from England here.
    You have to pay import tax.
    Driving
    Working
    Pensions
    All a lot more difficult

    As Brits visiting Europe, definitely not.
    Roaming charges
    Health care
    Taxes for sending and receiving goods
    EU protection has gone.

    There's lots more, fishing rights we sold off and said we'd automatically get them back, no, liars.

    An act of crass stupidity by uninformed people voting for something they did not understand encouraged by liars with an ulterior motive. What could possibly go wrong? :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I’m not sure what’s improved but then I don’t think that’s down to Brexit, like you’ve said that’s probably down to the Tory c unts and now the Labour c unts.

    So now Farage has been kicked in the bollocks by Musk ...

    ... how will he try to smarm his way out of this embarrassment.

    It was inevitable and it speaks volumes about the bloke that he didn't see it coming.

    Spectacular lack of judgement to slavver up to a dangerously wayward ketamine addicted narcissist simply because he might send you some money. If Farage was the savvy politician he purports to be he would have put a firewall up between him and Musk to at least protect himself when the inevitable crash out happens. Farage just doesn’t have the instincts though. It’s only the gentle pitches of a compliant media that keep him safe. He crumbles under even moderate pressure.

    As much as I worry about Elon Musk's intentions.... I was delighted what he said about Farage.

    Its only a matter of time before he turns on Trump...

    Musk is like a Bond Villian...the guy scares me as to what he capable of with the money and power he seems to have

    In some ways I’m not that worried about Musk. He’s a drug addict and your standard vulture capitalist. Hes bought his success, rather than created it. He’s miles from being the Tony Stark character he believes himself to be. And ultimately his current wealth is built on an overinflated value of Tesla stock. Twitter’s value is pancaking and leaves him on a high wire act given the loans he took and the guarantees he provided. Worming his way into the Trump admin is a naked attempt at digging himself out via subsidy. However I’d be surprised if the relationship lasts the year out. His ego vastly outstrips his intelligence and he won’t be able to keep his mouth shut long enough to keep it going.

    Pretty much what I said about his relationship with Trump...it won't last. They are so different and both are alfa male narcissists.
    As for Farage, right now he has to watch what he is saying about Musk...If he goes back after Musk he will alienate Trump and his Modus Operandi will go up in smoke. To say nothing makes him look weak... Lose lose situation for the moron

    Musk is unpopular with the majority of British voters. So is Tommy Robinson. To be fair to Farage (and I do hate to be fair to him) he’s at least realised that he won’t even get a sniff of his ambitions if he hitches himself to the Yaxley Lennon wagon. Picking his way through it may be another matter, though.

    Could someone please explain the dislike here. As an ex pat as well I don’t see what is going on in the old country as much as I possibly could.
    I've seen the soundbites on YouTube where he talks about the massive influx of immigrants coming over on the boats and how that is putting a strain on resources, but that’s honestly all I’ve seen. Could someone please give me the counter argument.
