Lots of young people here would like to have a house of their own potentially. Even one they could afford to rent.

Too many people coming to this island, and not enough houses for them. Result? Constantly inflating rents.

The EU laughed in our face about this issue. Lines of parrots........ 'four pillars......four pillars.....squawk.'

We have been insulted, and even laughed at by EU officials. It's gone too far. There is no way back. Try and force us to remain in the EU, and there will be unrest in the streets. The politicians know this.

We're leaving......... it's going to happen......... get used to it, and stop daydreaming.

So why not just sort out the housing market? That's within the power of the UK goverment within the EU. Losing a lot of prosperity by tanking the economy isn't going to enable people to afford homes. The young people are aware of that which is why they voted overwhelmingly to remain.

We will see in a few weeks

No matter which side you are on, a hard Brexit was dead months ago.

Given the choice between a vote or kicking it down the road another 2 years the way it was being discussed earlier today https://www.businessinsider.es/brexi...19-2?r=US&IR=T

I think we can all agree that the vote would be the best outcome to get this over and done with once and for all ?

There is no way we could build enough homes to keep up with demand. The more we build, the more will come.

The young have been brainwashed, and are still being. Everything in the EU garden is rosy. It's not.

If your currency is a hard one, it is not an asset to be surrendered lightly.

We've talked about this before. The 2016 vote was a once in a lifetime vote. The government send out a brochure to every home trying to scare us to vote remain. We didn't.

Another vote would bring unrest to the streets, and make the Scottish independence vote look like a picnic. Remember how bitter it got up there during the run up to the vote?

Another Brexit vote would be toxic. I can see it going slightly to remain. Depends who they hand a vote to, like the Irish citizens living in Britain. Give the vote to just the British living in this land, and no one else. If that was done, leave would win again.

The government would try to load the vote for remain. Probably even give it to 16 year old school kids. If remain won by a narrow margin, you think that would be the end of it? It wouldn't.

You want to see real public anger, and perhaps even rioting? Maybe you do from Spain. I don't.

Remaining in the EU would cause public unrest that would not go away, just because it's what you want. It's gone too far now to go back. We have seen just what EU officials truly think of us. They have been unmasked.

Because its so much easier to blame the evil EU for domestic policy

The UKs benefit cultures the start and end of nearly all of the UKs problems but they prefer to say benefits should be for the Brits only when in reality it is mainly the Brits taking benefits, its created a zombie populace with no drive or dreams, most Europeans moving around Europe work their guts out to make a better life for themselves and have big dreams, they are not on the take like some people here think

There is a housing shortages world wide, in the uK the zombies think the state should provide houses for them.

Don't hate the immigrants from Europe, they are supporting zombies on benefits by working and paying tax.

So these immigrants are supporting the UK zombies? How many more immigrants do you think we need to make the zombies life even better?

We're up to 65 million. 70 million? 80 million? When will it be enough?

What percentage of that are immigrants versus native born?

The immigrant percentage is increasing all the time. We have to slow down the increase in population. We are struggling trying to cope with it everywhere.

Housing, roads, the NHS, schools, even prisons.
