Election chaos speeds Brits to sunbelt

It wasn’t exactly a comprehensive survey, but the one on emigration commissioned by Currency UK was timely, as Britain slumped to an all-time low in the corruption league table with the cobbled plans for a Government of the Election Losers to run the country…

That latest attack on UK democracy came just after the survey, so the next one might show even greater interest in Over-50s quitting the UK for that sunbelt lifestyle.

The survey showed that:

1. Many Brits are concerned by the prospect of a hung Parliament and that the next four years will be dominated by huge tax rises, cuts in public service and inflation.
2. People are concerned about the UK's economic strength and this is leading to Brits looking to get out.
3. Three in four Britons have considered moving abroad this year.
4. Three in ten said the poor state of the economy was their reason for wanting to emigrate, a survey found.
5. A quarter of those polled blamed the lack of job prospects while an eighth said a change in the pace of life was the main attraction.

Whatever the outcome of the Lib-Lab and Lib-Con machinations, the country's politicians have clearly lost their moral compass and that will cause thousands more citizens to head South to Spain or Australia, the most popular emigration destinations.

That a pair of disgraced unelected spin doctors are being blamed for the post-election stitch-up fiasco will speed up the departure dates for many.

Not that politics is much better in either Spain or Australia, as both are run by spend-spend left-wing Labour governments… but the sun shines for 300 days of the year, the cost of living is lower and newly-arrived Brits will be so busy retiring, they won’t have time to get involved in the grubby stuff.

McBroon duffed-up by a pensioner

McBroon, the raider of British pensions, came face with a real pensioner when told he had to mix more with real voters instead of the marshalled lines of McBroon-nosers hitherto in the election campaign...

The smiles and smarms of his little chat with Gillian Duffy - a grandmother who had worked for Rochdale council for 30 years - vanished when he got into the safety of his bomb-proof Jaguar. McBroon's rant in which he denigrated Mrs Duffy as "bigoted woman" was picked up by his still attached Sky News lapel microphone and broadcast around the world in minutes.

The message was clear, McBroon epitomises bigotry and hypocrisy, easily capable of switching from Mr Nice to Mr Nasty when he thinks he is not in control. He placed no value on the good works Gillian Duffy had done with handicapped kids and other in need sections of the public.

Her views seemed to him to be at odds with his own, despite she claimed she was a life-long Labour Party supporter but now with concerns about tax, law and order, education and immigration.

Other pensioner voters will have further concerns about McBroon and his rants and rages. He's lost Gillian Duffy's vote and now millions more could vanish because pensioners represent around 40% of the electorate.

And many pensioners will be browsing the property in Spain Spanish bank repossession bargain pages to get as far away from McBroon and his cohorts if they come anywhere near influencing any of their lives after the election...

UK fiscal storms or sunbelt for over--50s

Still no good news for Brit over-50s and pensioners as the last lap of the General Election race gets underway…Not much on Europe either from McBroon or Lord Meddlesome, the former EU commissioner who made his millions there.

More of the silver-hair brigade will be deciding shortly on whether they head off to the sunbelt or weather out the fiscal storms to come in murky Britain, whichever party rules the roost. Pensions are expected to be static, cost of living expected to rise and general expectations have definitely been lowered by the election campaign so far.

While the UK politicos argue about who can make the most cuts while keeping frontline jobs and creating millions of new jobs with no cash in the piggy bank to invest, their Spanish equivalents are taking a more sensible tack to solve that country’s similar problems.

Spain has billions of Euros put away for such a rainy day, unlike McBroon who sold Britain’s gold at an 80% discount, spent faster than earnings for a decade and promised the end of “boom and bust” just months before UK PLC went bust and tumbled into the biggest Black Hole of Debt ever recorded.

While Britain has a few miles of high-speed train tracks from the Channel Tunnel and plans to get one to link London with Birmingham in 10 years or so, Spain is criss-crossed by high speed trains and has just announced a EUR 20 billion extension of the network. The work will get underway quickly as a major jobs generator and will boost business and tourism once completed.
If only the UK could make take such decisive action as quickly as Mañana Land!

Meanwhile, as the election rumbles on, over-50s see more reasons to retire to a sunbelt country like Spain: UK pension will go further; lower cost of living; better weather and life-style; strong British ex-pat communities etc…

Two new truths boost Spanish property

Two new truths on the same day might be a shock to the system, but there is a link between them that British over-50s and retirees will be quick to spot.




Shock one came when McBroon, having denied for years that he was the architect of the UK’s fiscal meltdown as Chancellor and then Prime Minister, finally admitted he’d been too soft on the bankers and their antics caused the crisis.




Shock two was when Spain’s ultra conservative National Institute of Statistics (INE) revealed the first double digit growth in Spanish property sales for three years. Sales increased by 20% in February after a marginal 2% in January, a great boost for Spain’s main engine of economic growth.




As 60% of the sales were in second hand properties, it seems like the many Spanish bank repossession bargains are the main driver of this new-found market recovery. Other indicators also seem to point towards a slow but clear and steady recovery of the collapsed real estate market. Analysts expect the activity in the main second home markets to spread across Spain in future month.




So if McBroon was the architect of Britain’s fiscal disaster and ongoing hardships for families and the over-50s that’s not going to endear his party to the voters. However, the Cameroons haven’t announced any plans to help the over-50s recover from McBroon’s pensions raids, so a move to Spain remains a good hedge.




The high level of property sales in Spain suggests the prices are ripe and tempting for many 1,000s of buyers and specialists PropertyInSpain.Net claim current prices remain at their lowest for a decade in Spain.




Right now might be the opportune moment for savvy investors to grab a bargain property in Spain before they are snapped up by the more derring-do Scandinavian, Russian and Spanish buyers, who have pushed the sales to record levels so far this year…

Payback time for pensioners as McBroon quits

It should be the beginning of the end of McBroon and his bungling Labour Party as he announced the General Election date and scuttled round to Buckingham Palace to get his demob from the Queen…



That was just 24 hours after it was revealed that the Over-55s are the biggest voting segment in the UK as they represent over 42% of the electorate. These are the pensioners whose pensions were robbed by McBroon for five successive years until there was hardly anything left in the pot that was worth taxing; the 42% also includes the next generation of pensioners who will find the pot is empty and, as a result, will have to eke out their golden year.



It’s payback time for the over 50s, who have witnessed the biggest decline in Britain’s economy since Herr Hitler departed the scene and the biggest pile of debt in the country’s history. They worry about their futures, they need to worry about the future of their grandkids as National debt is around one trillion pounds and needs repaying pretty pronto.



Quality care in old age doesn't come cheap. But if McBroon hadn't stolen £100 billion from pension funds and destroyed a private pension system that was the envy of the world, millions of over-50s would have a lot more money to pay for their own care as they get older.



If, despite the huge anticipated anti-vote of the over-50s, McBroon cons his way back to Downing Street, the exodus to sunbelt countries will become a stampede.



If the Cameroons win the election, they don’t have a magic wand to restore the basket-case UK economy, so a place in sunny Spain will still come in handy for this and the next generation of Brit families.



Beat the rush to Spain – start looking for property bargains now…the prices are the lowest for a decade.

Over-50s can quit UK for just £25,000

Prime Minister McBroon is in a right pickle, having had his clapped-out New Labour saved by an £11M investment from clapped-out, seventies-style Old Stalinists in the Unite trade union, it’s now payback time.

McBroon is using the union’s cash to fight the next election and carry on with his crazy government of the Britain he has ruined. To make sure he toes the Militant Tendency line, Unite has set up a manned desk in Number 10 itself and hired McBroon’s disgraced attack dog publicist, Charlie Whelan, as their “political director”.

For many Over-50s it’s a clear throwback to the Seventies when Labour was controlled by the unions and strike-bound Britain ground to a halt. Only this time around the country owes billions more and the level of corruption is even greater. Cameroons posters show “Cash Gordon” hiding wads of Unite cash behind his back and wearing a pilot’s uniform with his cap badged Unite – even as British Airways fight off the union’s strikers.

Nobody got to vote for McBroon when he claimed the job of Prime Minister, nobody would have, if they’d known he was a stooge of militant trade unionists, back on parade after 30 years licking their wounds in the political wilderness.

Surely no sensible voter will vote for Labour Unite in May…but don’t count on it.

Over 50s are in pole position to quit the Britain that will be awash with soaring taxes, declining services, pensioner penury and aggressive trade unions claiming more desks in Downing Street. Brits approaching retirement can grab their assets and head out to a sunbelt country like Spain and take control of their golden years…

Staying in Britain, they are likely to face a decade of chaos, disorder, strikes and industrial unrest, causing Sterling to sink even lower against the Dollar and Euro and prices and interest rates to soar. Fixed incomes can’t cope with that scenario.

Things might be better if the Cameroons win, but they don’t have a magic wand to undo the knots of public debit that will strangle the future prospects of millions, specifically the Over-50s and pensioners.

There is an alternative... A small investment in a property in Spain can provide a useful bunker as the war of attrition rages in the UK and it can be occupied strategically or full-time.

PropertyInSpain.Net and a group of Spanish banks are planning to launch special deals for Over-50s and pensioners that needs only £25,000 from UK savings to own a two or three bed property worth £100,000 in a good location on a choice of Costas.

The scheme is expected to offer maximum flexibility over the next decade – breadline chaos in Blighty or laid-back, Med lifestyle in Spain…

The Great Spain Getaway underway

Britain’s Over-50s have clocked that the untruthful McBroon the Clown has been caught with his trousers around his ankles when he was forced to reveal the truth about the military spending cuts he had denied consistently to the Chilcott Inquiry, Parliament and divers TV interviewers.

Wise old sceptics among the electorate are now wondering about the veracity of McBroon’s other assertions on pensions, health service, education, crime figures, Government borrowing and how all of that aligns with their own future in the UK. They can vote him and his greedy cohorts out of office in May, but the problems will remain for a years. 

Stick it out as the Cameroons struggle to stop Britain’s slide into a third world nation, or up sticks to a land of sunshine and make the most of the measly remnants of a pension. Over-50s and pensioners might be encouraged in the latter solution after hearing McBroon state he plans to go on and on for ever – that from a geezer who was never elected in the first place and has ruined the economy big time.

Some say he is the worst Chancellor and Prime Minister ever, robbing Peter to pay Paul with stealth taxes, selling off the nation’s gold bullion for a quarter of the price it is now, wasting billions on things that don’t work like NHS IT systems, turban wars, Green initiatives, Lisbon Treaty etc. His errors of judgement are legion, starting when he was the proud wearer of a CND badge and not having had a real job in his whole life…

There are times when it seems all public bodies are fouling-up; from the police, local councils, hospitals, border patrol to the quangoes and “companies” cocking-up student grants, running prisons, research labs... Under McBroon if it isn’t broken, it isn’t working.

No wonder more Over-50s are planning their futures in Spain, where their pensions might go further, they could live longer spending less money and have a great time doing what they cherish most – the Great Spain Getaway is now underway.
