European Parliament considers plan to let individual Brits opt-in to keep their EU citizenship

The European Parliament is to consider a plan that would allow British citizens to opt-in and keep their European Union citizenship – and its associated benefits – once the UK leaves the EU.

The proposal could potentially give Brits who live and work across borders a workaround to the disruption caused by the Leave vote – and young people looking to flee an increasingly insular UK greater choice over where to move to.

Not sure how this would work in practice, but sounds like a GREAT idea to me.

A Marine Le Pen win the next great upset?

Possibly,I hope not.
If I were a resident of Luxembourg however I`d be more concerned about the far right in my near neighbour France polling around 30-40% than a UK where even the moderate in comparison UKIP can only garner 1 MP in the midst of the Brexit era.

Which is why the Remoaners should get on with accepting the result....before they drag us into something far worse.

You're talking about polls in France and seats in the UK. Any reason for that apart from being disingenuous?

Pinched this from the Scotland thread. Worthy of a requote.

Great comment nicked from BBC comments:-

The SNP must be bricking it! Idiot Sturgeon's big mouth has her in hot water again!! What was it she wanted again, oh yes, Trump banned from entering the UK. Oh and she stripped him of his role as special business advisor to the Scottish government. And now he's the president of the USA. Hopefully Sturgeon will now resign in the "best interests of Scotland". Good riddance.

The UK trade deficit widened to £5.2bn in September from £3.8bn in August, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
Exports decreased by £0.2bn, while imports increased by £1.2bn.
The widening between imports and exports was in part driven by a record £8.7bn deficit with the European Union.
Although the pound fell sharply after the Brexit vote, the ONS said there was little direct evidence so far of currency effects on trade.

Between the April-to-June and July-to-September quarters, the total trade deficit for goods and services narrowed by £1.6bn to £11bn.
There was a £4.5bn increase in goods exports and a £3.1bn increase in goods imports between the second and third quarters, partially offset by a £0.1bn decrease in services exports and a £0.3bn decrease in services imports.
Some manufacturers reported a jump in foreign demand after the pound's fall, but it can take time for this to show up in trade data.

Do you think? Trump was never a business advisor to the Scottish Government, Jack McConnellmade him a'Global Scot Ambassador' . As for wanting him banned, this is the comment made:

"Asked if the first minister supported a ban, her official spokeswoman said: “I think the first minister made her views on Donald Trump quite clear yesterday when she stripped him of his GlobalScot position.

“There are laws around people who make certain comments being allowed in and he should be considered in the same way that they are. The home secretary should consider the issue.”

Anyone using the words 'idiot' 'big mouth' and 'good riddance' is rarely a good source!

So he should be allowed to do and say what he does with impunity, because he's now POTUS?

And to be fair, Sturgeon isn't the only political figurehead to burn bridges with Trump. It's going to be 4 years of strained relations and awkward G20 summits.

I`m hoping that I`m not coming across as disingenuous.
So much of the anti-Brexit rhetoric is based around alleged racism, xenophobia and TBH imagined far right politics abroad in the UK.
Its important to contrast that with the massive and growing popular support for the real far right parties on mainland Europe.
You don't deny the burgeoning support for fascism on mainland Europe do you?

Yes, this one for example.
