UK breaks international law by extending NI grace period unilaterally

[Eirikur]

5 million EU citizens want to stay here now despite the horror of us brexiting. Plenty of Europeans still want to come.

Strange many of the Asians & Africans cross the EU to come here. Imagine disliking France so much you climb into an overloaded rubber dinghy?

Most of the Europeans are settled here, are married with Brits, kids in schools, have jobs, businesses, a house etc, it's not always easy to move again to another country.

Personally I also don't understand why refugees are so desperate, whilst they are already in a safe country to risk their lives and that of their children and climb in a dinghy to cross the channel. Someone must be spreading myths of unicorns and unlimited benefits (which are amongst the lowest in the western world in the UK)

Not valid for Europeans anymore since you left the EU, now only Asians and Africans want to come, exactly what the brexiteers voted for

Still can't seem to get rid of you though. :-(

yeah because the 5 million EU citizens applying to stay must all be mad!

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/l...n-applications

The Home Office has today (11 February 2021) announced it has hit the milestone of five million applications to the EU Settlement Scheme with 4 months still to go before the deadline of 30 June 2021.

This includes more than 4.5 million applications from England, 252,400 from Scotland, 83,800 from Wales and 81,800 from Northern Ireland up to 31 January 2021.

More than 4.5 million grants of status have also been made, delivering on the government’s promise to secure the rights of millions of Europeans in UK law for years to come.

Strange how everyone wants to come here.

Once you're out of a club, you cease to be family. If NI (or UK) really starves, I'm sure the EU will send food parcels, and possibly troups from the EU army to restore order... Treaties and the rule of law are their for a reason.

But you know this.

Did you mean troops?

Breaking international law is actually quite common: https://reaction.life/the-new-brexit-storm/

Doesn't seem wise in light of ongoing financial services negotiations though.

Indeed and when countries break the law they can be held to account, such as US tariffs being applied to EU goods.

Nothing unusual about breaking the law and nothing unusual about the press whining when they have to face the consequences.

Satire and typos. I've posted in this forum already the idea the EU sends in troups to restore order. Don't wet your knickers over it.

Oh great as above they can try to beat the Irish into submission. Maybe have 2-3 referendums until they get the right answer?

Oh when did the EU get an Army? We were always told it was the EU NAAFI!

[NotAllThere]

Blimey on the hard stuff already?

Oh I think the EU is acting exactly like a spoiled sibling, we are still family!
