    That conversation got real depressing real quick. One on the understanding of the 'no ease of access to the jobs market' and two 'not an EU citizen'

    She was a leave voter.. if that matters now. Buyers remorse and then some.
    Given your track record on this forum I'd be surprised if half of your family would know what day it is.

    Btw, there isn't an "e" in "sponsorship". However there are a few in the phrase "Scooterscot is a clueless fuqwit".

    2) I remain a EU citizen!
    I remember the times when people were calling themselves proud citizens of Soviet Union. Certain things never change.

    British Fishery limit,.... think you'll find that's spelled with a 'Scottish'. Yes I'm sure that's correct. That massive 0.12% of the all UK economic output. Nice one lads.

    Here's some footage of the same lads trying to break into the single market 6 months from now.

    Yes, it’s been written by one side based on what their rules are and what the UK has negotiated.
    The EU are showing the results of the UK’s negotiation and how it will impact those wishing to be involved with the EU.
    If the UK government had a clue, they would produce a one sided document explaining to EU citizens and businesses how their interaction with the UK will change.

    But that would require the UK government to have a plan that they are prepared to agree to and document it.

    UK won't be able to do this, UK won't be able to do that.


    How about EU won't be able to do this and EU won't be able to that in the UK?

    Oh, and get your own seas to fish in.
