Its not the attachment to their place in the sun that is wrong, it is the interminable daily/weekly whingeing that the EU will not fix their third country personal wish-lists that is *very* wrong. And hugely tiresome in its incessant repetitiveness.

Not in the same country at the same point in time in the EU but in the same tax year, when you change your residence from country A to B within the same tax year.

What always surprises me is that these people, obv not the lady who posted as she's just referring, happily tell other people they broke the law. Same as my dad's neighbour, 6 mths in Spain and rented out her home in the UK while she was there to fund her life. Sold holiday home in Sp after Brexit.

Well, yeah. Everything he says is true. Foreigners do not have the same privileges and rights as citizens. I don’t know any country where they do.
Maybe the UK should tell the US that it should give UK citizens the right to work freely in the US so they can further their careers?

I was British with Spanish residency when it happened and I didn't have to do anything. I filled in a form to allow me to vote in local elections again, and swapped my residency certificate for a TIE as I wanted an ID card. Drivers Licence, healthcare etc were all sorted, when they should have been.

Just reading “Building Europe (Loth, Wilfried 2015)” about the development of what was to become the EU.
I must admit that I have never had a special admiration for de Gaulle but some of his thoughts about the need for an independent Europe is paramount. He foresaw that we couldn’t really

Brexit wasn’t abstract, writes The Bear.
It stripped out the NHS’s stabilisers – staff, medicines, safety nets – and left us running on fumes.
The cost isn’t just GDP points. It’s lives.

You know what? If you go on a Yaxley-Lennon march and applaud Nazi billionaires calling for the overthrow of the government - yes, I am going to call you far-right and racist.

High Fives to the broadcast and print media that have spent the entire summer legitimising bigotry, xenophobia and racism. They didn’t get the civil war they were hoping for but they have managed to fuck up a fair few lives. Beyond shameful.

Two: despite having left the EU the UK should be able to do the same business in the same way as when it was a member and arrangements must be made to enable this. This is just a refusal to accept the reality that non-members are not entitled to, and will not get, the same privileges as members.

Well tbf the minute I heard ‘citizen of nowhere’ I knew the game was up and UK citizens were going to be left high and dry by their own govt. Still doesn’t change the fact that they had years to sort out their status and they wouldn’t be able to have it both ways.

Yup. There's a huge difference between being angry about losing your rights as a result of the UK's choice (perfectly reasonable, helps energise rejoin) and being angry at the EU and searching for a magic cheat code that will force them to unilaterally restore those rights (utter batshit, dickish)

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

But it’s not all he has said, he has made it clear that the red lines drawn by May, continued by Johnson remain indelible
