ORIGINAL: LadyConstanze I can't help but laugh at what is happening in the UK, alright, fair loss of the worth of our property, but luckily we don't need to sell, we can rent out and that will always make money, but hey, that happens when you listen to idiots like Trump, Farage (or Führage), and personally, I quite enjoy watching it all crumble, I don't enjoy seeing kids going hungry, not having coats to wear when they go to school, but for all the Brexit voters, hey, I hope you really really suffer Dear oh dear. What the hell are you on about ? As a European from outside the UK, LadyC has suffered very directly at the hands of those displaying anti-immigration prejudice. What she says is harsh but understandable. For me, I just want the position of the members of my family who are living here legally as EU citizens to be sorted out and for a trade deal to be struck which protects our communities. This hard Brexit attitude that Britain can make it in the world on its own without some form of accommodation to allow European trade to continue unhindered will be a price we all have to pay in our standard of living. It is a big lie promulgated by a bunch of right-wingers rich enough to ride it out, just as they have ridden out austerity without having to make family sacrifices. Leaving the EU and cutting our own throats do not have to be the same thing. This is about people's lives not an obscure political principle. When I read this it reminds me of all the trade agreements the US has with various countries and how Trump is fucking that all up... he is doing the same thing, imo, its gonna cost the US quite a bit but then they/Trump will just blame what happens on those other countries and not put the blame where it belongs, on the US govt & the Americans that voted for Trump.. oh well... time will tell, of course.. I really wish that the UK had voted to stay.. now we will have to see how the break-up goes and where things fall.. and discover those unintended consequences... I am assuming the OP is talking about this.. a huge drop in luxury/high-end properties? well, real estate doesnt go straight up forever, there are dips and crashes along the way and perhaps this was just going to happen anyway at some point... not just to London tho, there are many major cities around the world that have had property values increasing at break-neck speeds.. I dont expect any/many of them to go on too much longer.. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/oct/02/zoopla-reveals-changing-fortunes-for-britains-wealthy-homeowners
