My house dropped 50k in that period but has gone up 100k since that low.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
But we probably have a stronger economy than France
I was talking about Spain as well. House prices in rural areas have been hardest hit. But it was the flood of Brits moving abroad over 10 years ago that boosted prices significantly
How does that compare to the Treasury's forecast before the vote?
£220bn seems like...a lot.
£220bn seems like...a lot.
Well a while ago the UK built the largest single site hospital in Europe and it cost £575m. So it only adds up to enough to build 382 of those. Small change really.
But the bus said...
The bus was invisible to Brexiters - no mention of health in the Autumn Statement.
I think it does
The OBR says that if it hadn’t been for the Brexit vote their projection for annual net migration to Britain would have been 80,000 a year higher at 312,000 in 2017 falling to 265,000 by 2021 and contributed around 0.2 percentage points each year to potential growth in the economy. They estimate that this net migration factor alone accounts for 0.9 percentage points of their judgement that the EU referendum has reduced potential output by 2.4 percentage points.
I know a bloke that was here not totally legally, he got cancer and used his e111 to get free treatment so i guess its no problem for any brit in europe
Time to get brits off the dole and back to work. Savings all round
OBR implying that their forecasts might even be optimistic.
Where are these people going to come from, given that we're also being told there's record employment?
They won't be happy
The dole
You still believe govt figures? Zero unemployed?
If a company in nl wants to hire a brit under current circumstances, it has to first prove it has advertised the position in holland and prove there were no suitable applicants.
Whats the procedure in uk?
I don't know, I live in France.
Point is probably more open than eu
So basically immigration is the governments fault and doesn't really have much to do with the EU anyway? You sure you're a Leave voter?
Oh dear
So if your company wants to employ a uk citizen they can currently disregard french people for the position?
In the private sector, there is no discrimination between french citizens and EU citizens. But a non-EU citizen coming directly from outside the EU will need to follow an "introduction" process in which the company asks for the permission to hire, the ones already living in the EU just need a french resident permit.
Decent sign that it may have legs as an attack.
"Britain Thinks" focus group......needs to re-group and then think whether or not we're still in the EU. Might want to re-tweet if the answer is "yes".
You realise that focus groups are made up of ordinary members of the public?
Closet tory spotted.
To your question. For skilled employment from eu, there is no process.
For unskilled employment, the companies either advertise in bulgaria/poland or in london using bulgarian/polish.
So...whoever they are they should know that we're still paying into the EU coffers.
Your side should probably try harder at explaining that to them. Though I'd also be wary of saying it'll happen when we finally do leave, given that...we know it won't.
The government never said it would happen, just ordinary folks who want it and they'll push hard for it too.

Wow
So fom differs everywhere and yet it it is sold as "go where you like, when you like".
Farcical
Brexiters have turned on Hammond and the OBR for "scaremongering" today i see, as predicted.
Yeah, farcical (says the English guy living in Holland)..
Yeah and I had to do lots of things to get here, apparently you can just turn up in the uk willy nilly, now I see clearly why they want to stop it all and so must you see it.
Turn up willy nilly? Do we have any actual evidence that getting into the UK is any easier than France, Germany, Spain etc?
So... stopping immigration has nothing to do with the EU? Is that what you're saying?
this thread
I am saying fom to the uk appears to be easier than where I am at least, "please come in, we're open"
Think @JPRouve detailed some protectionist policies that the French employ earlier in the thread.
Germany are going to be introducing more hard line measures on benefits for immigrants which has been in the news.
This also happened recently
https://www.rt.com/news/365600-germany-wall-refugees-migrants/
Aren't people emigrating from Spain for work rather than to it in recent times?
Everybody can go to the uk, its not a problem if you just get in within 2 years
So explain to me why there isn't a rigid rule set for fom across Europe that all must adhere to? After all you are championing how amazing it is
Because the principles of the EU are a basic set of core rules which the sovereign nation states can then build upon to fit their own needs. Various UK governments however have just found it easier domestically to pretend that they it's all being forced upon them, rather than as a result of their own decisions.
