    It’s going to cost more than that to lose it.

    I’d pay £100 and I’d pay another £100 to make sure that no sneaky leave voting bastid gets one so they can have cheap holidays/booze cruises/buy stuff on the cheap.

    Do we get to expel the whinging gits formerly British, now Europeans in two years time? I’d be happy to sponsor a few.

    Ahhh 5thElephant you know you want to sign up, just think who will be left behind UKIPPERs, Daily Mail Readers and right wing pensioners – that’s going to be a cracking night in the pub. You can all share your spite and resentment

    Hopefully they’ll all move to Australia. I’d like the place to myself. 😀

    100 quid a year is a bargain.

    Could I skip the visa queue at airports full of whining old Brexiters, proudly clutching their blue passports as the world literally and figuratively overtakes them?

    Dunno, but I might cancel my STW sub if they allow another Brexit thread!

    They should open it to expressions of interest now and see if we can get, say, 18 million before A50 is triggered just to wind up the Brexies.

    One of the main reasons I didn’t like Australia was that it was full of racists and the attitudes to things like equality, worker’s rights, women and immigrants were utterly despicable. No wonder brexiteers love it.

    £100 would be a bargain, would probably go a fair bit higher if needed.

    It’s not going to matter now.. The damage is done.

    The laughing pig molester that called the pointless referendum in the first place must have received a fat retirement payout for pulling such a destructive stunt..

    He’ll not be remembered fondly in the history books when this all unravels..

    £100 is a no brainer, ability to live in any other country and claim unemployment and other benefits – no brainer.

    I imagine the cost would be closer to £5,000 than £100.

    I met a lady today who had voted to leave because she’d bought a lampshade that, because it met EU lampshade regulations (?), hadn’t fitted her 50 year old lamp without the purchase of additional adapting washers.

    She (in her 80s) was annoyed that her kids were annoyed with her and was also – unduly, I felt – put out when I told her that my father in law had called his 4 kids and basically held a vote, saying to them that whilst he’d be inclined to vote leave, he understood that really it didn’t matter much to him at 83, it was about their (and the grandkids) futures. As a result, he voted in.

    Surely the question is how much are you prepared to pay to leave?

    codybrennan

    Why not just turn it round the other way?

    If you voted leave, 20% tax hike on VAT and Income Tax.

    Remainers could continue to pay what they pay just now, Leavers could pay the premium for sovereignty.

    Win/Win?

    and they don’t let the under 18s vote for being too immature! WTF, they should ban anyone over 65 from voting for being senile.

    Logan’s Run had the right idea….

    It’ll be interesting if the country is made up of a mix of “British” and “European” citizens. How’s that going to work? Different laws for different folks?

    I imagine the cost would be closer to £5,000 than £100.

    Try £350m x50/working population of UK – and that’s without the rebates or other financial income from the EU.

    It would work, if dystopian sci-fi is to be believed:

    I think it’s an ideal soloution 15 million people pay £100 to the EU to keep the right to roam/live £1.5 billion in the EU coffers has to be attractive per annum + all the tax paid for jobs and houses etc

    Would pay a couple of hundred a year or a bigger amount as a one off lifetime membership.
    Not bothered which, in paying it

    Check out the cost of employing a non-EU citizen in EU countries, Captain, £5000 is not laughable. I employed a teacher from Peru in France. It was complicated and expensive until she got married. Check out thh cost to a US company of employing a Brit, if the company gets approval.

    It only costs us £130.00 (per year) per head at the moment, so Jamba is way off the mark.
