According to testimony today, in the event of a no-deal Brexit, you know, the kind that many Brexiters on here advocate, it could become illegal to pay pensions to British ex-pats living in the EU. In light of this, is it time to stop advocating for a no-deal Brexit?

Nobody should want a no deal brexit,that is as bad as staying in the EU. |

Why not? Even May said that no deal was better than a bad deal. Although she has since had amnesia on the subject.
And the pension issue is nonsense. Apparently, some countries in the EU don't allow private, insurance based pensions to be paid, which is bizarre, so if you moved their from the UK, there could be a problem. Except that there won't be, because you would just keep a UK bank account and have it paid in there as you did prior to leaving the UK.
Just more scaremongering nonsense. |

"Why do you call migrants ex-pats?
Perhaps they are no longer patriotic, if they ever were. Fuck em.."
And this ladies and gentlemen represents where we are as a nation. This country is truly, 100%, absolutely going down the shitter. |

Would you believe any person/expert or body, in any field at all, that told you that there maybe a downside to Brexit? If so, whom? |

Well said, could not have put it better myself. Those who have retired abroad if they have worked hard they deserve to move somewhere with a better way of life and should not be penalised for the foolish mistake of Brexiters. |

"fake scare news again x"
Must be comforting not to have to think and just vomit out the words "fake news" when you're confronted with something you don't like.
The wisdom of age, I suppose... |

I agree the reporting is on the sensationalist side. However it does show there will be addd complexities post brexit. Not everyone will have a uk bank account. I suspect it could also create additional tax complexities as a person could be receiving income in different tax jurisdictions. And given this covers all types of insurance, it may be there conplexities kick in at a difficult point in life eg when seriously ill. |

Actually as someone who is in this situation and taken advice - alas from experts but better than the "fab forum" experts here is the situation.
Ok British migrants in the EU will still be entitled to their state pension which can be paid in UK or host country.
Private insurance based annuities which are paid into overseas bank accounts will not be possible if there is no deal. They can be paid into UK bank accounts. Ok here comes the uncertainty - if there is a no deal and the economy tanks UK banks may not allow none resident accounts. Secondly if the UK imposes exchange controls (like we had before we joined), then could the Brits get their cash? Very complex and worrying.
Finally to the arsehole who said fuck em I only have this to say. I have paid over 40 years of tax, NI contributions, been a member of the armed forces who has seen active service and got medals - what the fuck have you done for your country. Oh and I have never claimed a penny in benefits! |

No one in these forums knows how any of this brexit nonsense will work out so why not wait until the cookie crumbles and then see where the pieces land and you can argue back and forth to your hearts content.
Because at present not even the so called experts no what is going to happen so my advice is to stop bitching at each other for the time being |

Interesting post....
One thing though....
Tell that to the person who posted above you.. because where it is talk to some , you are actually talking about someone else’s real life.. and not knowing even at this stage must be worrying...
I am still looking at the option of getting an Irish passport to protect myself, but waiting to see what happens before posting it off

Exactly. This affects real people in real life. I have several EU national colleuages that live and work in Bristol. They are both higher rate tax payers and have young families, born here in the U.K. They are having to pay thousands of pounds each to ensure that their kids hqve a right to stay here and their families are not split up. This is not imaginary. This is a real threat that they are facing. This is something that they are worried about to a point of having to pay thousands of pounds, and take time off work to sort out. They are an asset to this country, financially, culturally and in terms of our skills base. And yet they are being made to feel unwelcome. This is not right. This does not benefit anyone.

Ex pats? Probably all remoaners, fuck their pensions. "
That's the attitude I associate with brexit supporters 
Fuck em
On that very principle alone is enough for me to rationalise that their perspective is worthy zero respect or credibility |

After watching how the UK treated a "hostile environment" for immigrants and the scandalous treatment of the Windrush people, I am not surprised they are worried how they will be treated in Brexshit Britain.

Forgive my ignorance but why are they paying thousands of euro to.ensure their children can stay in the country and why do they feel unwelcome all of a sudden. I have some polish friends living in UK and they say they couldn't give a flying fuck what's going on as still the same country stop get up work sleep shit play etc nothing has changed for them yet.and they very doubtful anything will |

She was buying votes. It wasn't amnesia. Just soundbites to win the ukip and brexiter votes. Have you ever heard people say they hate office politics. It's closely related to politicians. |
