I think the EU will collapse after we leave because once we go others will follow. The only way the Euro and EU will survive is if they bring in Turkey as a member state. However, with the ongoing Cyprus situation, and their awful human rights record they would not pass into the EU.
No I won't be shocked with the cost of living after we leave.
The original BofE job loss estimates from the city were around the 75000 mark. So, to say 5,000 will be relocated to Europe isn't too bad. Consider that around 25,000 jobs have been lost in the retail sector so far this year with more to come, we can absorb the 5,000 loss.
With house prices in London projected to drop by 35% I might be able to afford to move back South. It's not only the young generation that struggle to get on the housing market. It ain't easy for divorced father's either.
are you really this thick ?
there is no evidence whatsoever that the EU is going to collapse.
if anything they are getting stronger, as they realise how stupid the British are for wanting to leave.
the euro is strong aginst the pound and they will do just fine after we leave.
no way Turkey is going to join either.
as for house prices dropping well that will only happen if there are huge job losses or wages become worth far less.
so don't get any fantasies about moving back south because it isnt happening.
Brexit will condemn the younger generation and people like yourself to years and years of a worse standard of living.

Let's put this into context, the pound has only been weaker than the euro since 2016, however it has since rallied but not reached the same level as 2015. The only thing to have changed is that UK has decided to leave, yet, we haven't left yet. The market conditions are still the same as they were in 2015. The dollar has sunk after a major collapse in 2016, that would have a knock on affect to the pound's value. The Euro maybe the largest economic area but it certainly no where near the strongest, and it certainly not a potential area of growth.
The British public made a decision that it doesn't want to be part of an autocratic menc club. The point you're missing is that democracy means more to the majority of peopel in Britain than the value of the pound.
There are already 4million children living in poverty. That figure has been consistent since 2015 before the referendum result. The number of police on the streets was being reduced before the referendum. The amount of money going from central government to local governments was being reduced before the referendum. This was all before Brexit, which made leaving the EU more attractive because we did not see any positives of still being involved in an economic club that was draining our resources, not contributing to them.
There is no evidence that the UK will collapse after leaving the EU. If anything the UK will get stronger by leaving.
Germany's economy, the strongest in the Euro, will falter if it begins to increase the value of exporting cars to the UK. I understand the UK imports more german vehicles than any other country. Given the multi billion cost of VW falsifying its car exhaust figures to pass EU regulations, the knock on effect to the German economy could be catastrophic. The EU and the Euro is an undemocratic, negative growth economy.

I agree with this part of your argument - however what has that got to do with the EU ??
Brexit won't improve this situation, it will just make things worse as there will be even less money for public services.
The NHS is already starting to not be able to afford new drugs. Get cancer in the future - tough shit, you are likely to die like you did in the past.
By the way the pound has not rallied - the euro is currently about 1.12 to the pound. It was 1.35 before the referendum.
As for democracy - the great part about democracy is that it allows the public to change their minds.
Now that we know more facts about Brexit and how it was all based on lies, then the public needs a chance to vote again on whether they want to remain or accept a deal offered. No one knew what they were voting for before. A people's vote is required. The mayor of London has made some sensible comments on this today.
