Go move to the EU if you don't like it

Apparently now government policy and not just a right wing slur.

Already debated on the Buy British thread.

Tonto crashed and burned.

First ever O/P of yours I’ve agreed with Cat.
Long may they continue.

Few years time and I'm planning to spend a few months a year there, looking forward to it, dont like the winter here.

It's hardly 'an extraordinary twist to the Brexit saga' as it's the most common-sense thing anyone could imagine. It's literally the first thing City firms did several years ago. A happy medium will be found as it will for some EU firms who will find it easier to set up a small presence in the UK. The EU is the most successful protectionist bloc in the world and companies who have a large EU market will have to make the right choices for them.

is that the official line from Tory HQ?

It was always obvious that U.K. companies would need to set up subsidiaries, pay taxes and recruit staff in the EU post Brexit?

Really?

Sorry but I don’t recall that on the side of the Big Red Bus.

I'll say one thing for you, you don't give up with a losing hand. You must be a crap poker player.
I'm still waiting for a reason why U.K. companies need to set up subsidiaries, pay taxes and recruit staff in the EU post Brexit.

5 years and the EU will be history.

Let’s hope it doesn’t fail. Just imagine lots of European countries suddenly becoming nationalistic like we seem to becoming, it’s the stuff of war!

Which was the raison d'etre of the EU in the first place.

Where are you going to?
We lived in The Charente' next to the Dordogne for 5 years. That's quite a way down & called South West France.
In our first winter it got down to -7 and plenty of snow and ice.
We spent 2 months in Spain one year in Jan/March, and 1 month the next year.
It was bloody cold, but fantastic early Springs and Summers.

Been to the Dordogne, Languedoc Roussillon, Provence, Brittany and Limoges but always in summer. Last February/March went to Granada, Malaga and Nerja it was just before the lockdown and the weather was great, low 20s in Nerja, nice buzz about the place but not too busy.
We are thinking of renting for 2 or 3 months Feb through to April. Idea is to go to a different country each year, so Greece, Italy, Portugal and even Morocco as the other half has relatives there, are all in the mix.
We were going to do a permanent move but Brexit changed that, but I think I prefer this idea now. It would be hard to leave friends, football and family permanently and this way we get to see loads more places.
I'm guessing you enjoyed your 5 years in France DP.
