Did the EU Member States with large amounts of gammony British expats (i.e. Spain) already guarantee that those could stay indefinitely or are there just temporary measures for the duration of the transitional period?

To my knowledge, all countries are going to allow expats to stay for a few years regardless of how brexit ends up going.

Whether or not you can stay permanently is another thing, and can vary greatly from country to country. I know for a fact that you can apply for permanent residence in the Netherlands, but this doesn't necessarily mean that they can stay. That'll depend on the final brexit agreement. If the UK decides that it doesn't want those terrible foreigners taking up British jobs, the EU might as well do it back.

You can also apply to become a citizen of the country you're living in, which will circumvent all of the issues you'd face otherwise. It depends on the country how hard getting citizenship is, but it's generally time consuming and a bunch of work.

Hi there.
My partner is a British citizen living in Germany and she already applied for permanent residence last year. The immigration office will start processing the application once Brexit actually happened and they basically promised it will be accepted.

'most tolerant country in the world' poo poo is getting a lot of air time lately. I assume it's the new narrative to push. Might just be to gently caress with people's heads because it's not like the gammons want to hear about the UK being tolerant. So who's it for?


The slow dawning realisation that we're a dumb rear end nation of cunts who were never good at anything other than murder and pillaging is kinda fun to watch.

Why can't we 'DO THING' indeed.

The bureaucrats he's referring to are the house of commons comission, which is made up of the speaker, a handful of MPs from across the biggest parties, the house clerk and director general, and a couple of outside appointees. They don't have a majority there

Are they the ones deciding this, really? I thought the only major thing they did was set MP pay. Can't imagine Boris wouldn't be able to just pay for this in any number of ways, he has the whole loving treasury behind him.

Oh no they don't control the commissions specifically set up to be independent, so that, you know, Tory MPs aren't the only one getting paid. Oh what a powerless government with a thumping majority they are. And they can still loving abolish it in a single vote and strip Labour MPs of their pay at the same time, except that it would look bad in the press.

Seems much more likely it's just stupid "everyone has to chip in" bollocks. In fact I don't see the material difference between the money coming from the public or some government fund, surely it's still up to the commission to agree to it, if they were the ones deciding so, which I seriously doubt.

the crowdfunding thing is, i'm pretty sure, an attempt at rallying people to the brexit culture war and making them literally buy in. i have literally zero faith that johnson couldn't bypass this measure somehow.

it's fairly savvy stuff, but not really meaningful until the election - but it is a sign that johnson is not going to relent in his antiparliamentarian rhetoric or relent on the culture war bullshit just because Brexit Got Done

Yes, they have a number of administrative roles outside of setting parliamentarians' pay.

i've been seeing this stuff crop up for a bit, and it's interesting - it's an appeal to patriotism, very blatant, to excuse behaviour which precisely goes against the stated grounds for that patriotism. effectively it's just saying 'shut up i don't care about this cultural issue' in a politically correct way and it's bonkers
