From this side, I saw both Cameron and May ask for exceptions to the rule. What they wanted was to have the same privileges as EU members without being EU members.

I don't undrestand why the EU should treat the UK any differently to any other non-EU member.

One does not base what is a good for a country on whether a politician is rude or not.

The only reason the house prices are rising, as they are in America, is because there is a crowd of very rich people who will pay anything to get the property. Once they have them, those homes will not be for resale. You're going into a rental economy, and no ordinary human will ever own a home again. This has nothing to do with Brexit. If those people weren't doing that, then house prices would have fallen.

What I don't understand is, apart from owners not wanting to lose money on their homes, why house prices shouldn't fall. They're way over-priced.

It is coincidental that house prices rose. They are not rising for a good reason.
