Geoffrey Settle Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Well it looks like you will soon need an accountant to calculate your financial pathway to the great unknown. One of the questions will be about the promises in each manifesto and what impact they will have on you and your life expectancy, care provision and if you have enough to leave behind. It would of course be a great help if we knew when we were going to expire, planning is getting more difficult by the day ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 There is only one issue, for which this election was expressly called, and that is Brexit. Until that is resolved, all other issues are simply pie in the sky, in the face of the unknown situation that will arise from Brexit negotiations. What we do know, is that only two Parties are prepared to uphold the result of the referendum, and only one of them has a viable chance of keeping out those liberal Parties preparing to renege on Brexit. So simply no need for hustings or debate, as it seems the main candidates for Warrington North appear to recognise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Settle Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 May be to a purist but the referendum has come and gone ☺ and everyone has moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 "Moved on " - where? We're not there yet. Article 50 negotiations haven't even started yet; and we know from the Manifestos that Labour and the LibDums are prepared to sell out on the referendum decision.

Sha Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 This is a general election to elect the future Prime Minister. Overseeing Brexit will be just part of the role of the chosen candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faisal got Bob jumping up and down about his claim that the LibDems are going to privatise the NHS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't it always been the case that nobody knows how long they are going to live? All we can do is save for our retirement, and when we retire get the best advice about how to finance your retirement years, however many they are going to be.

asperity Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 I've already retired Geoff, and I've had a will (updated regularly) for donkeys years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Settle Posted May 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 I must follow your lead. I have a draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 You should turn your draft into reality, unless you want all your worldly goods to go to the government (to waste as is their wont) should you drop dead, intestate, tomorrow. Have a word with your solicitor who will gladly relieve you of £100 or so to type something out on their laptop for you , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
