  • Bagsy not in goal.
  • "I was never offside"
  • Okay Bounie, I think that's a great idea!

    *slips derringer behind shin pad*
  • Is that the no mans land with British French and Russians on one side (the i ties and Usa joined once they knew who would win) and the nasty Hun with its baby sister Austria with a few Turks on the other. The Swiss stayed out of it. The balkans were a bit mixed.

    Oh how times have changed.....

    But good idea Bournemouth. Have a great Xmas everybody.

    How is it any different to a Surrey-based person to go retire in the Lake District and be reliant on their services? That's what taxes are for. Some of our tax money goes to the UK government and some of it goes to the EU for this exact reason.

    The problematic thing about almost every argument against freedom of movement within the EU is that the same argument could also apply against freedom of movement within the UK but for obvious reasons the argument falls apart when applied at a national level as opposed to a continental level. The arguments also fall apart at a continental level but most Brexiters seem to lack the lucidity to make the conceptual jump from national to continental.

    I think the Lake District is an interesting example to choose. It may have changed recently but because of locals not affording housing as a result of the high demand from "outsiders" they have local occupancy rules.
  • Freedom for Lee, those bastards from Blackheath moving in, taking our jobs, filling our schools and clinics, driving on our roads forcing purple Nectar cards on us. I can't wait for Lee independence day.

    Don't fund hate @seth plum . I ripped mine up (although not before spending the £25 worth of 'credit' on it.

  • Be advised my passport's blue. I'll now spend hours in a queue.

    Merry Christmas.

    Flown into a London airport recently ?
  • If the change of passport colour is being touted as a major victory the negotiations and planning for how this will all pan out must be awful. Seems designed to just appeal to older people and means absolutely nothing to younger people. Surely in a few years the demographics of those who are in favour of all this will be very low.
  • Who the F could care about the colour of their passport, some people have serious problems.
  • A strong and stable passport.

  • See the Christmas amnesty didn't last long.
  • 'Northern Island' = Northern Ireland (not a good start to your comment).
  • A strong and stable passport.

    Metropolitan Elite getting the blame again in the Mail. Looking down their noses at the patriot working classes.

    Maggie will be spinning in her grave. Oh wait a minute she was in charge when the burgundy passport was introduced.

    Never fear I am sure the UKIP MEPs (Nigel in particular)who have been troughing it for years on EU salaries, pensions and expenses will ride to the rescue.
  • If Brexit means Brexit means blue passports and that's it then all good!

    In 3-6 months we will know what is on the table and the impact analysis for various options will have been completed. Yes, Sadiq Khan has commisioned some for London which will be published at the appropriate time... and the government will publish theirs to support their u-turn to Norway option or continuing with the Canada path.

    As @JohnfromNorfolk points out, the only people folding will be the government, not the EU27. And highlighting blue passports is just another way of shifting attention from the real issues.
  • People who voted leave aka winners have now achieved all of their aspirations which amounts to having a nice large group of 48% of the population to laugh and jab the finger at forever more.
    No leave voter can suggest anything more than triumphalism to be pleased about.
  • Why would you need a source? Try seeking to relocate to Melbourne without being on the list of approved tradespeople. Barcelona will be no different after Brexit, why would it be?

    Or put it another way, we are Brexiting because too many Manuels are stopping good British waiters from getting a job. Why will the Spanish behave differently towards a Phil, unless he's got something they need?

    So in your strange little rant are you saying free movement is bad because it upsets the locals? Because this goes against your other posts. Very confusing.

    I'm also surprised you aren't telling us how impossible it was for you to set up a business and a new life outside the EU, something you managed before post communist Prague joined the EU. How on earth did you manage it? What colour were their passports. I think we should be told. ;-)
