Given the choice between exercising a treaty right to live somewhere (free) and applying for citizenship to give you no different rights (not free), which one would you choose?

UK-based Poles call for revolt against having to apply for settled status
Originally posted by JohntheBike View Postwell an astute person might have weighed up the legal strength of each, and given the history of the UK being not fully integrated into the EU, e.g. we didn't adopt the Euro, might have concluded that applying for British citizenship might have been the better option. Surely looks that way now.
As I said, it works both ways. Hence the flurry of applications for German/French/Irish etc citizenship by Brits.

Originally posted by JohntheBike View Postcorrect me if I'm wrong, but hasn't it always been possible for foreigners who liked this country and wished to live here could apply for British citizenship? Or were the rules too onerous?

Originally posted by AtW View PostA Polish chef who has worked with Mary Berry and Jamie Oliver is leading a revolt by UK-based Poles against the Home Office’s requirement that EU citizens apply for settled status as part of Brexit.
More than 7,000 people have signed a petition launched this week by Damian Wawrzyniak on the UK government and parliament website to change the wording of the settlement status process from “application” to “registration”. At 10,000 signatures, the government must respond.
Wawrzyniak, a former chef at Noma in Copenhagen who has worked in Britain for 15 years and established his own UK restaurants, originally backed Brexit on the basis that it would make it easier for restaurants to select British produce ( ). But he has changed his mind and says he will ultimately refuse to apply to live in the country he now calls home.
Backing has already come from the food writer Nigel Slater and the MP for Tottenham, David Lammy, who tweeted that “future generations will be appalled that to appease the hard right we made EU citizens apply to stay in their own homes”.
