M. OwlFancier envelops TERFs in his giant beard.

I just realized that Mx Blatant sounds almost exactly like the old homophobic argument that gay men are men that hate women so much that they won't even interact with them and so they act like women and hang around other men.

Which I guess makes sense if you can only view human relationships through the lens of seething hatred from a distance rather than the idea that people might actually love one another or enjoy spending close time together.

lmao what's Braincels? I'm guessing from the name that it's incels who are convinced that the reason that they are incels is that they are "too smart, and sapiosexual, and women are dumb bitches amirite?"

So rather than go for the spousal visa for the wife our new lawyers (provided by the company) advised us entirely the opposite of our last ones saying we should go for EU resettlement as we're likely to get a response in 5 days and it should be easy since we have a shitload of proof of us "making the EU a home for ourselves"

I asked what would happen if we do it in November and brexit has happened and she said not to worry about brexit as "nobody here believes it's going to happen in October" at that point they said she'll get 6 months in the UK and they'll help her with the right to remain stuff after that "it's all a bit new and complex but it shouldnt be too bad, we're just not sure how long that will take"

Considering she's a type 1 diabetic and will actually just die if this all goes tits up I'm having a hard time putting my faith in the laissez fair attitude of 'nah it probably won't happen'

I know there are a few folks here doing the settled status guff. Any thoughts?

Have proof of 5 years of continuous residence, there's a list of accepted documents on gov uk you can google.

Also you'll be denied and have to appeal unless you have continous tax records for 5 years (income or council tax), this happened to people who have been here over 29 years, also myself and other people to itt.

If you're fine with pre-settlement (which you may or may not if you have complex circumstances) then it's not so bad.

This is all assuming you're talking about the settlement scheme rather than permanent residence, while I have an idea about the latter it's very limited, beyond it being a bitch to get in the UK.

Visa stuff

I'm also a bit unsure of my status at the moment - I'm a non-EU family member of an EU citizen with a residence permit that's good until 2022. Anyone know if I actually have to do anything here or am I all good since I got the card in 2017. Also unsure if my partner has to do anything - she's Irish so that would remove the need for her to register, but I'm here on her EU status and blaaaaah this is complicated. For info, she's Irish and I'm a kiwi.

I guess the answer is no one here knows cos not even the government knows.

You're in the same situation as my partner. They're Puerto Rican, and have the residency card due to my being an EU citizen. They've applied for the EU Settlement Scheme, and that's all you should need I think

He talks about how the intellectual hollowing of the Tories progressed from 1986, and rightly calls out the media's wagon-circling around Johnson.
