Financial migrant & London mayor
 

Hey board.

I'm pretty happy I've met this nice English guy this morning at the cafe.
I will speak English agaaiiiinn :)

His name's Justin. He said I have migrated to France because life in England is too expansive: a 3 bedroom house in London is up to 2.000.000£, and he has bought a 3 bedroom house here (Clermont Ferrand) for only 400.000 Euros. He said I don't want to get old in a studio, I like my country but we have a serious inflation problem. This got me wondering, why is England so expansive ? You have a lot of big companies, London is a huge stock exchange place....England has become the second economic power in Europe last year beating France by 15 billions in its 2015 benefits.... so why can't people have more buying power ? I thougt maybe this is due to the fact the English population is approximately 70 000 000 people, which is the same than the French population, but England surface is just 1/4 of France, so maybe that's why rent went so high, and it forced all businesses to increase their prices as well and that's how one of the most exciting country in the world became the most expensive country in the world. Am I close to the truth ?

I've also asked him questions about the new London maire, who, as you know, is a Muslim. I've heard on the news the London Muslim community is pretty big, and they've contributed a lot to his election. So I was wondering, can a migrant vote in your country ? How long do you have to work in England before you can vote ?

too many people on the rock dude

we should have birth control instead of brexit

You don't have to work in the United Kingdom in order to vote, and that is part of the problem.

I think they fucked up big time voting to Brexit. The Leave verdict took the country by surprise and nobody had a plan for what to do next. Headless chickens running around now and all the big money people are dumping their UK Sterling and buying Euros and $$. And what about the tens or even hundreds of thousands of people in Britain whose jobs are related to the EU? Will they become unemployed?

i don't care. London is my soulmate. anyone who did not live here cannot understand, and since they won't even try to understand, I say fuck them ! fuck europe, who don't need you ! fuck foreigners, this is too pricey for you ? you know what ? you made it pricey by taking advantage of our systems failures, kiick all the brown tards out of here and life will be good again.

brexit is a bless. our economy is mostly based on stock market values that can be sold all over the world without any border taxes, so in our out, it doesnt matter !

To vote in a local government election a person must be registered to vote and also be one of the following:

1. a British citizen living in the UK
2. a qualifying Commonwealth citizen living in the UK
3. a citizen of the Republic of Ireland living in the UK
4. a European Union citizen living in the UK
5. someone registered to vote as a Crown Servant
6. someone registered to vote as a service voter
7. Age 18 or over in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, or 16 or over in Scotland.

A British citizen living abroad who is registered as an overseas elector cannot vote in local government elections.

I hope not, sounds pretty dodgy to me...a serious financial institution or broker should have some better method for this kind of data.
