All EU nationals to be guaranteed residency if they are here already.
Thank god for that small piece of sanity amidst the Brexit maelstrom anyway.
I was reading this over on the Daily Mail. Half of me was revelling in triumph at the wails of impotent fury from the creatures who comment on its message board, that all our EU friends and colleagues aren't about to be rounded up and deported on trains, and never will be.
The other half of me despaired that such creatures exist, and that there are so many of them in this little inward looking country.0 -
Finally my (French) wife who thought she knew your Country well, can not contain her anger at Britain and the unthinkable phrase left her mouth this morning over breakfast........"it was Great Britain but it will become Little Britain very soon"
I apologise on her behalf, not because she is wrong but because it is in bad taste and we all know how good mannered the British are!
First we give the French an unbelievably generous Nuclear contract then, before the inks dry, the French President says he's going to cause us pain and suffering for having the cheek to leave the EU. There's gratitude for you.If I don't reply to your post,
you're probably on my ignore list.0 -

You know Toxic, for someone who continually complains about the lack of housing and overused transport here in the SE - you might, one of these days, get around to asking yourself whether there just might be a link between having 3 million extra people in the SE in 10 years and your current problems re getting a house and getting to work.
Just saying.0 -

Has the EU given similar assurances for UK nationals living/working in the EU?If I don't reply to your post,

Yes, it was idiotic in the extreme to allow a French company to make an unnecessary, anti-investment in nuclear let alone (you and I will be paying for that guaranteed double price per unit as a dividend for Chinese money) a power station along with Chinese investment. We are governed by short termist, self serving imbeciles. There will be no benefits from this government not on Brexit and not on any other area of policy.
They are grossly incompetent at every level of governance. Purveyors of hot air and bad decisions for all that we will be paying for from our very own pockets.
We are doomed and the sooner the Brexit voters understand and sign a petition to revoke the referendum the better, before it is too late for us all. What a hopeless, small minded, short sighted, hateful, reckless country we are showing ourselves to be. The result of people who have had it too good for too long. A referendum which was not based on truth, manipulated peoples fears for a narrow win that almost 50pct of voters and I suspect the majority of those who did not vote, do not want. How can there be hope ? Really, how can you find hope within that sequence of events ?
Wake up. :mad:
And what of caring about people who have nothing coming from war torn places. Shameful, selfish and makes me disgusted to be British. They are no longer even mentioned whilst Greece absorb hundreds of thousands of destitute we moan about 2,000. I don't want to associate myself with any fellow countrymen who hold such views. What kind of supposedly successful country turns its back on those who have nothing ? One that is in fact gripped by fear, lacking power, ability and decent humane moral standards.
May's hot airsays it want unity (cloud cuckoo land, you think remainers will forgive destruction of the country ? ) and equality but the actions of the home office and the reports from the LSE are proving divisive and getting peoples back up. There will be no money for her so called "hot air this is what they want to hear equality" to be shared when investment dries up and jobs vanish as the exodus begins, from manufacturing and financial services.
The problem with this forum is people are narrow mindedly focusing on their own lot their own personal situation. What else could be expected from the selfish ? That is what it comes down to blame others who are not to blame for dissatisfaction for something seen to be deserved. Something denied by your own personal failure and compounded by successive terrible governance. Fools ! And now you take us all down.0 -

Just saying.
The way to solve that is to stop creating so many jobs in the SE so that people don't come here. I mean, you can ban foreigners but how are you going to stop people from elsewhere in the UK coming to the SE?0 -

That's the " load of tosh" right there!
The only time we can remember the UK not being in the EU, it was a hot pile of impoverished mess. So what makes you think that it's "better equipped"? And also, better equipped than who? The other countries are still in the EU. You're making an assumption that other countries are exiting the union and that is simply not true. Your whole argument is void.
Sounds to me like a gamble. One with all likelihoods pointing to failure0 -
Behind this woman's posh accent lies a simple idiot. And she appeals to other idiots.
