P.K. Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Must say the headlines in the UK rabid right wing press, which is to say pretty much all of it, have been highly amusing this week as their paid-for tory party falls apart and their no-deal brexit looks to be on it's way out as well. I was surprised so many in the tory party put country before self-interest. Especially as the expenses scandal showed so many to be just plain greedy. Needless to say we should all be very glad they voted the way they did to avoid the disaster of a no-deal exit. Totally amoral narcissistic serial philanderer and inveterate liar Boris Johnson is now in a trap all of his own making. He can't send a brown-nosing lackey like Gove to Brussels to do his dirty work for him as the EU simply won't accept it. As the majority opposition will never want Corbyn in 10 Downing Street the only figure I can see with the moral authority (something Johnson knows nothing about) to be effective is Ken Clarke or similar. Turbulent times ahead! Edited September 8, 2019 by P.K. schoolboy grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Stevens Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Many are applying for various EU member state passports. I do not know if the following is accurate but for some it is worth investigating? Rather than apply for a passport which can take a long time a far better course of action is to apply for a right of residence. This will get you an identity card which, in turn, will allow you to travel and reside throughout the Schengen area. This is founded upon fundamental EU law and the Maastricht and Amsterdam treaties although the exact process and requirements differ from country to country, e.g. in France they entail showing ownership or rental of a property, health insurance (the S1 certificate from the NHS will suffice), employment status or, if non-working, sufficient income to support you and dependants (in France currently c. 800€/£720 per month) and a few other minor things. There are no language or knowledge tests. Crucially, as long as we are in the EU right up until the last minute of the last day, you have a right to this under existing EU law as an EU citizen. If you get right of residence before Brexit then you will retain this right post Brexit, France for example has passed specific laws providing for this but it is likely that existing EU law would suffice. I saw the above on line but have not researched it. Just a curious point. If joining the EU means loss of or pooling of sovereignty how come so many EU member states have such divergent citizenship laws and passport qualifications and some allow dual nationality or Portugal does anyway and others such as Netherlands do not..
