Just reading that 45,000 Brits in the Netherlands have 15 months to pack their stuff in case of a hard Brexit or apply for permanent residency.

Why would they have to leave Holland when it is the Germans, NOT THE EU, that in unilaterally threatening to revoke the right of British citizens to stay in Germany. Unless of course the German Government speaks unilaterally on behalf of the EU. In that case the case for leaving the EU is right there. We do not and never have wanted to be ruled by Germany. I we wanted that we had ample opportunity in 1939.

What? Where did anyone say that the Germans are setting the rules for permanent residency in Netherlands? The EU has been clear that although it sets the framework, the individual rules are up to the Member States. The Netherlands are setting their own rules within that framework. Sovereignty.

Follow the thread through and you might find out where one poster made the jump from German Government to Holland (THE Netherlands)

No they didn't, they were two separate posts about the same thing (potential immigration rules in member states for Brits). Nobody said that it was the DE government implementing it in NL.

Holland (THE Netherlands)

Informally only perhaps, and not THE. Try Google to learn the difference.

You may as well try explaining this to two short planks.

They are likely to be successful and talented, so why not?

They could just be a bunch of cannabis smokers who enjoy easy access to their spliffs...

Ahem ok, I know it's difficult ot understand for a Yorkie
first of all it's The Netherlands
secondly they have their own government and parliament who decided this
Thirdly they are not ruled by Germany (it's not like England ruling Scotland and Wales and still thinking they rule Ireland)

so this is fake news then?
'You can stay,' Dutch tell British nationals, 'but you will need a special permit' - DutchNews.nl

'British nationals who have lived in the Netherlands or longer than five years will be eligible for a permanent residency document and will not have to take language and other integration tests. British nationals who have lived in the Netherlands for less than five years will get a regular residency document which will enable them to continue to work. They too will be exempt from inburgering requirements. Employers will not have to apply for permits to keep their British members of staff, the minister said. Students who have already started their degree courses before Brexit will not be affected either.'

thickheaded bawbag. <klootzak, in dutch>

FFS ... the post said the Dutch were doing this, the idiot Yorkie somehow decided that it was the Germans who told the Dutch to do this. Read the thread again ... what is being said is the Dutch have made their own decision on this, as a sovereign state. The Germans may make a similar decision; both made by sovereign countries.

Do you lot understand what sovereign decisions are?
