Apply for pre-settled status. Simples. Anyone who doesn't get it is not getting it because they are not entitled. Have you looked as closely at provision for UK citizens in the EU? - thought not. So bitter and twisted it's laughable.

Yet you don't see any issue with EU treatment of UK pers? This is a mental illness now mate, you have to find a way through the bitterness or it will just eat you.I have. It’s shit for some of them too. Also non EU citizens are a national competence. It’s up to the individual countries. The day you guys actually post something knowledgeable on the EU will be a major landmark in this thread.
The Windrush generation were ‘entitled’ and that went well. As I said, buy a clue then get back to me.
So, you are worried that tourists will not realise the UK is here anymore unless we are part of the EU project? :-)Did you not even read the first sentence?
"Tourism and travel leaders have expressed disappointment and frustration after it emerged that the UK will not be taking part in an EU-led data-sharing project to reboot tourism"
It's costing every one of us if UK businesses can't reboot tourism. "Government supports travel and tourism redundancies rather than join EU scheme."

Forgot to mention glib meaningless comments, but thanks for reminding me.

Nothing that anyone in touch with reality can discern.What's bitter and twisted?

Sad that the EU are not moving as one on this.And just to keep you up to speed and remind you again the treatment of UK nationals is largely in the hands of national Govts here is an update on their status in Germany.

still waiting for this PM given you don’t want to debate on the forum.Because it was an example of the obscenely unbalanced provisions but just one - that May committed the UK to and it was - as I have often said - the EU's 'jewel in the crown' of the provisions that presented control over the UK's key policies to the EU for decades and generations to come.
You say that "LPF is not an EU plot to hamstring the UK's future prosperity" I do not see this as something akin to a fanciful 'Black Op' by the CIA - just the professional management of negotiations - with one team being much better qualified than the other.
You know that I have experience of leading large negotiations - whilst there always needs to be a win for both sides - such perceptions can be managed. The aim is to get all positions to reflect the Ideal outcomes for the party that you act for - not the minimum acceptable (Fallback).
The WA brought forward by May/Robbins was the embodiment of the provisions that resulted from a couple of years of an EU team that contained a highly qualified team of professionals facing off against a muppet.
As a prelude to later discussions I just wanted to see the starting point of your thinking on this. If you cannot see how the Unfettered Backstop would have been used by the EU (through its proxy Ireland) that tells me a lot of your position - and I do not mean that in any negative way.
That you say: "I’m struggling to see why it’s relevant to the here and now of negotiation....." could lead me to make an assumption.
And - given that I have seen a usual snide comment from one of the thread vandals I might do this via PM.
I know that you do not wish me to do that, but:
a) there are some that just get so 'locked on' to slagging of information that I genuinely post for debate that it drags the thread down and
b) I continue to hold the view that you do nothing to discourage this
So if the intention on my part is to discuss with you - why not via PM? If you then have a desire to converse with the vandals - that is up to you - but I do not.
To paraphrase James O'Brien " maybe it's time we realised that those we see as being in the dark are not led towards the light by calling them stupid?" Even he realises this now. Good luck.To paraphrase Churchill, I can take medication for my ‘mental illness’ - a preference for facts and competence over idiocy - but nothing will cure the level of stupid you keep bringing to this thread.
Dick pics?still waiting for this PM given you don’t want to debate on the forum.
It’s pretty obvious. Even stupid people don’t like being called stupid.To paraphrase James O'Brien " maybe it's time we realised that those we see as being in the dark are not led towards the light by calling them stupid?" Even he realises this now. Good luck.
Oh, the depth of contribution you bring to this thread. Keep on trolling mate. Lol.Dick pics?
Tell you what.Glib comment?
