I can get a 1 year backpacker holiday medicla cover for under $400 and I am retirement age near as damn it. An expat policy for the same EU country for me with no pre-existing medicla conditions is $4000, 4 times the price.
Emergency medical cover is free for EVERYONE in the european country coincerned. the cost of a flight back to the UK for non-urgent treatment can be as low as $75 (ryanair for those of you who know it) up to $600 for a regular scheduled flight. So any insurance people in here can explain that? Surely as a tourist i am more likley to be doing daft things like paragliding and bungee jumping (which are covered in the tourist cover but no the expat cover for some reason). Expat Medical insurance is a complete ripoff dominated by US based or owned companies charging insane US prices.

youll probably find that your one year travel policy although valid for a full calendar year only covers you for a certain number of days out of that year plus additional restrictions on staying in one place to long ect.

I actually voted for brexit and i would again. for me a no deal exit on the 29th march would be the ideal outcome.
sure we are getting arse fucked on the way out but its going to be well worth it in the long run. Europe is a sinking ship that we really do not want to be shackled to. it was fine when it was a handfull of well off countries all working together, then they had to go and let all the ex soviet countries in who havnt got a pot to piss in. this was mainly done to stick it to the ruskies and also to expand Europe geographically as a power. didnt really work out that well did it.
the sooner we are out the better. Greece fucked. Italy fucked. you only need to see the way we are treated at the negotiations to realise how much disdain Brussels has for the UK. they are scared shitless that the euro gravy train will stop rolling for a handfull of self serving cunts. the leader of which struggles to find a pair of matching shoes ffs.

0ur glorious leader

1) my English friend has a khmer gf for 5 years and they live in the EU. She has a son by a previous relationship with an eu citizen and the child has an eu passport and she has an EU residence card. At the moment she cna travle visa free to the Uk with her son for xmas etc. After brexit she will need a visa and so will her son. Neither have independent income and she is not married to the english boyfriend so chances are pretty minimla she will get one.

Can't think of any positive on the financial front sadly

Pczz, on what basis can she travel visa free to the UK ? A European residency card is only valid for Schengen countries. Non EU citizens still have to get a UK visa even if they are EU residents. They can get a visa for free if they are married to a EU resident who travels with them. If she has a British boyfriend it does not qualify for any kind of visa. Or did you mean she has a permanent EU ID card and not the five years residence card?

La8rat, if you believe your own bollocks then you're even a greater fool than you sound. Juncker isn't remarkable but compared to the bunch of hopeless morons poisoning the UK government starting with Boris Johnson and Rees mogg, he's doing a good job.

Most of the world couldn't care about Brexit.

La8rat is one of the few on this thread talking sense.

Roll on Brexit and preferably with a no deal. Yes there will be a short period of confusion and concern but that will all be over within a few months.

The EU has been bending over backwards to strike trade deals with countries with much smaller economies so expect a cap in hand attitude from them for a UK market of nearly 70 million.

I really get pissed off with doom sayers, remoaners who don't have a clue and the project fear mob who would rather see a scorched earth just to say they were right. Treasonous bunch the lot of them. Carney should be sacked and thrown out of the country for the damage he has done.

The EU has only worked for the poorer EU countries and of course Germany. Italy, France, Greece and Portugal are all basket case economies and Ireland will loose out big time if they continue with their approach. If the Euro had not been created, Greece would not be in the position it is and floating currencies are the only way when you have such as diverse culture and work ethic. Of course, I would not expect the average member on this forum to understand EU economics in much depth. (waits for usual response from those who have no clue)

The EU should have taken this more seriously and sat down with the UK and worked out the best deal for all rather than trying to punish the UK and prevent anyone else leaving and ending this ridiculous social experiment. Anyone who thinks the EU is a democracy working for the people needs their head examining. it's all about social experiments and lining the pockets of politicians and bureaucrats.

Most British are fed up with all the brexit nonsense

I'd say most of the world does care about brexit. There are vast knock on effects that will happen all over the globe as a direct result of it, perhaps the uninformed or ignorant don't care but whatcha gonna do. You can't educate those who refuse to listen and on the other hand ignorance is bliss... right up until that ignorance destroys the bliss.

1) please read https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... dence-card. IF she has a type 10, which she does, and she is travelling with or to visit her son who is an eu citizen she does not need a visa You are correct, her boyfriend or husband being british means nothing

UK EXPORTS IN 2017: ( £bn)
EU £274.00bn ( Tariff Free )
USA £46.50bn
CHINA £16.91bn
JAPAN £5.79.bn
CANADA £4.90bn
AUSTRALIA £4.59bn
SAUDI ARABIA £4.26bn ( Weapons of mass destruction )
INDIA £4.31bn
SOUTH AFRICA £1.83bn

Spot the problem.
I will write this slowly so you can follow.
1, If we go to WTO rules we will need to apply tariffs to our exports and imports.
2, If we apply tariffs,then British manufacturers exporting will be more expensive.
3, If our exports are more expensive,fewer people will buy them and jobs will be lost and the economy will tank.
4, If we decide NOT to apply tariffs,then WTO rules say that foreign importers can flood us with cheap tariff-free goods.
5 If my country is flooded with cheap tariff-free goods,then our domestic producers will not be able to compete,jobs will be lost and the economy will tank.
6, The only way our manufacturers can compete with cheap tariff-free goods flooding the country from 3rd world countries would be to reduce OUR wages wages and working conditions to those of the importers.
7, In other words,our wages etc reduced to the same levels as Cambodia.
The UK has the worst government since the 18th Century. Nothing will save us but a major remake of our system. The Tories want to turn us into Singapore,Labour into Uzbekistan,the Lib Dems into Bournemouth.
We're fucked.
The very harsh new EU anti tax evasion laws kick in on the 1st of April 2019. This will make it virtually impossible to hide money offshore and tax evade. The referendum received approval about a week after the new EU laws got passed in early 2016. Coincidence ??. You be the judge.
The whole UK is being played and the future fixed by a rump of around 30 extremists in the Tory party. Think about that 30 Tories holding us all in the palm of their money grubbing hands.
BREAKING NEWS: Bank of America spending $400 million,to move 1,300 jobs and $50bn of assets from London to Dublin and Paris because of Brexit. Call it project fear if you like,but is irreversible and irrecoverable.
