We have lost hundreds and hundreds of euros in 3.5 yrs. It went to 1.20 for 2 days after the election then dropped back to 1.17. Again thats the top rate. Its still the same. You really dont know what you are talking about. Unless you live here you dont watch the exchange rate daily like we do. Every time boris or a tory open their mouth it drops down. I suggest you do research before putting posts on a forum where many live here full time !!!

Some of the comments 'well said' are just a joke. Suggesting that people go back is just so unhelpful and ridiculous when we have made our homes here and have nowhere to go and have rescued animals that brits have dumped after going home. I have nothing more to say except to the OP think before you post something so silly and show your lack or knowledge.

What will be denied. ?
I`m retired on a full UK state pension so what will be denied once the UK leave the EU.
Not my pension I can assure you of that.
Maybe this will scotch some of the scaremongering !!!

You will still get your pension and health care and no matter how much you complain, you will get both so stop worrying. Yes you may have families living in the uk, yes they can vote etc, but you live here so leave it.
I lived in Australia for 10 years and never once believed the uk should pay for my health care. I had gone at my choice so accepted my new country and their laws and policies.
If it bothers you so much what's going on in the uk, why not move back? You can then join all the protests etc, vote and live with the tories or labour or whoever's is in government.
It's time to accept things are what they are, you cant change them and you live here.

Let’s see if you can come up with a ‘POSITIVE’ for leaving the EU instead of you coming on here all the time belittling all the people that have lost thousands over the last three and half years. I don’t mean what is happening in your fairy tale UNICORN LAND. I mean ‘A POSITIVE ACTUAL FACT’ on how people will benefit.
