Please don't be annoyed with all of us.
We're not all ignorant narrow minded angry isolationists.

I know :rotfl: None of my British friends are voting out.

I've said before it's your right to decide whatever you want to do, it's also my right to be p*ssed off as I've been contributing to the UK economy all my working life. I don't have a problem with countries having residency requirements but you agreed to something by being in the EU and now want to move the goalposts.

As I've also said before, if I need to faff about with paperwork to live in a non-EU country (as the UK would be) then Switzerland is a far more attractive proposition

No worries.
There`s plenty from where you came from (and other places too).
I have a feeling that despite the bluster you`ll stay anyway. You like it here and we like having you.
As Clapton suggests, you shouldn't be afraid of a bit of democracy. It`s healthy.

Referendum or not, I'd get annoyed too if I had been working for 20 years in a country, (probably paying shedloads of taxes over those years) to be told you're a drain on the NHS, that you steal native's housing and clog up the roads.

Yep not claimed a penny in benefits all that time and duly paid all my taxes I'm such a drain on the NHS that twice over the years my GP has written to check I was still in living in the area. I had to pop in to make sure that they didn't take me off, they thought I had moved because I hadn't asked for an appointment in over 3 years :rotfl:

Yes, both individuals and nations a have a right to make decisions about their future.
You chose to come to the UK : you are free to stay or go.
The UK chose to join the EU : we can choose to stay or go.

Why does democracy make you so angry?

yes, democracy can be annoying : but the EU is doing its best to reduce its impact and hopefully get rid of it altogether

I do like it here and it's my home but to be honest, right now I am very close to go 'sod this' and get out.

Then it sounds more out of convenience than your real home. The grass isn't always greener as the saying goes. When the going gets tough. Nationalism has a habit of coming to the fore.

I've just checked and that GP record qualifies you for a special badge

You pay all your taxes you say? You need to have a word with a few of the resident experts on here...you're not working the angles enough!

Blimey. I was accused of that as a "Scaggy Norverner coming down to London taking the jobs" back in the past.

I just saw it as cockney humour to be honest.

Fortunately for Yolina, we will probably vote to remain in the EU. Why any French citizen would want to live here for 20 years given the way they are treated by the minority of Brits I do not know.

I am so glad that the under 50s have a more enlightened view of being in the EU than the reactionary forces of xenophobia.
