Looking at it from a 'running a business effectively' point of view. If they cant do that then they wont employ people.

So the Commons has rejected the v Lords recommendation that EU citizens should not be forced to carry ID cards

Basically it means that EU citizens living here are being treated differently to everyone else.

TBH I will have to apply for a residency card at the end of this year, so it's similar to that i guess.

Too many people don't care. They really believe that Brexit will be done by the end of this week.

All I know this week is that I cease to be legally allowed to live in my home and have to apply for permission to live here. Thanks Brexit!

I also permanently lose any voting rights in the country I live in. Thanks Brexit.

Are you going to remain a UK national? What's the pros and cons of switching nationality?

Switching nationality is difficult.

We will apply for residency. Sad thing is we have to justify our existence, prove what income we have, medical insurance etc. Not guaranteed that's for sure.

If not, I will be allowed to stay in europe for limited time each year.

I really don't think leavers understand the reach of their decisions.

Can you not have dual nationality?

Watched a film on Saturday about a guy who cycled round the world. He was saying how great the EU was as he could cycle anywhere without problem, until he got to the Russian border and they refused his bicycle entry. No reasons given.

I will piss myself laughing if those with a criminal record are refused entry when they go searching the sun in Europe.

You can. Getting a French passport requires a high degree of french skill and cultural understanding - the bar is high.

Plus there are so many hoops to go through it's untrue :D

So another lie about the EU called out then?

The reason people come to the UK is because the British Govt, not the EU, make it so easy.

Time to start learning French then. I did suggest to the wife we got a French maid in as it would make learning French easy. (wasntme)

I thought Brexit would mean money pouring into the Country and we would all have so much cash we didn't know what to do with it?

Seems that was another lie.

Instead we have the Tory begging bowl out.
