Another new Brexit thread

[Saddleworth2]

If you had even a basic grasp of the facts you would know we will not see any reduction in immigration due to brexit. That whole thing is a fantasy - we are an ageing population that is reliant on immigration for labour, and will be more so in years to come. Without immigration there is no way we can crew those trawlers, staff the NHS, or make sure Nigel Farage gets his arse wiped in a care home in the coming decades. That is the reality - unless we up the birth rate and cull our elderly immigration is vital to the UK.

That of course is all true. won’t stop the government pissing about trying to prove they are tough on immigration though.

Red meat to their base.... if they were serious they would be knocking on the door of the UN asking to change the UN Refugee convention of 1951 ..... but they're not are they?

It's a shame for those that voted Remain but as for any Brexiteer's negatively impacted by this - it's what you voted for you morons. Presumably it will also have a negative impact on property prices in some popular expat areas as well. I wonder if they thought of that when they voted. Thinking about it I might look into buying a place if they're going cheap and take advantage of their misfortune.

I guess there is time for this to change so that UK citizens with a second home in Europe get parity with EU citizens who have second homes here (I think I’ve understood correctly that is the position).

Would be interesting to hear from any bluemooners who find themselves potentially affected by this, especially advocates of Brexit to see if they are happy it’s a fair price for our relative new freedom and opportunities . Does anyone know of any?

Press seem to be waking up to the residence and insurance requirements from 01 Jan

180 days in any twelve month period.

motor insurance green cards limited to 90 days. Requirements for international driving licences, and health insurance which covers pre existing medical conditions .... bit tough (and expensive) on those who live in the UK but with a property abroad.

Evidence required for purchase of electronics (laptops / mobiles etc) before entering the Eu

Outstay your visa time and have your passport stamped to stop re entry for 3 - 5 years

You mean they want to treat us like just any old non-member of the EU? How can they persecute us all?

Years ago i used to watch a docu-series called 'trawlermen' (i think). Boats passed down through families and staffed by local lads and old sea dogs from Peterhead.
A few days ago i saw an updated version of the show and, apart from the captains nearly all the workers on the boats were foreign.

yeah but all the fish they caught were born and brought up in British waters - our fish have led the way by banning migratory species from entering UK waters.

I'd imagine the number of Spanish citizens who have bought a holiday home in sunny Grimsby whereas quite a few in Grimsby may well have one in the Mediterranean sunshine

It isn’t even 180 days in a 12 month period.
It’s 90 days in 180 days.
The clock starts the day you arrive. 90 days later you have to leave and not return for a further 90 days.
So in any 6 month period you can only be there for 3 months.
You cannot go for 6 consecutive months in a year.

Fucking marvellous..

This is not 'taking back control' for me. Nor is it freedom for anybody. Wtf did anyone expect to happen.
