    Apparently so, ...hence the GBP being devalued by a whopping 23% against the THB since the Brexit referendum.

    Additionally, GBP has been devalued against all the other currencies that matter, eg worst GBP/USD rate in 35 years.

    Yes the £ is no longer over valued and trading at a more realistic level another thing to thank the Brexit referendum for.

    So what are these reciprocal rights?

    Those UK citizens in Germany should have received the same letter as I did by now. It is split into two parts explaining what will happen in the case of an an agreed and unagreed deal.

    If an agreement is reached then UK citizens need do nothing until Dec 2020. After that date it is expected that a trade deal will be put in place and UK citizens resident in Germany will continue to benefit from having full EU rights.

    If no agreement is reached by 29 March then all UK citizens in Germany will lose EU rights and have 3 months to apply for a third national visa. All family members will also have their visa revoked, even if it is permanent and will have to reapply as third nationals. Right to remain is granted until the application has been processed.

    The witch could end up with a few expats knocking on the door

    Immigrants are flooding across the English channel in dingies and stolen fishing boats, while the Royal Navy are on an American led jolly to troll China in the South China Seas.....while simultaneously trying to make hugely important trade deals with said Chinese.

    Mere weeks before Brexit at a time when the UK is urgently looking to make deals outside the EU.

    Chancellor Philip Hammond = Maybot's right hand = The guy in charge of the UK economy.


    A visit to China by Chancellor Phillip Hammond has been called off amid reports a speech by the UK's defence secretary angered Beijing.

    There were plans for trade talks between Mr Hammond and senior Chinese government figures during the brief visit next week.

    Earlier this week, Gavin Williamson had indicated the UK's intention to send an aircraft carrier to the Pacific.

    China is currently involved in a dispute over territorial claims in the Pacific. Six countries have competing claims over the South China Sea islands.

    In it he announced the HMS Queen Elizabeth would be deployed to the region, as well as the Middle East and the Mediterranean, on its maiden voyage.


    BBC political correspondent Jonathan Blake said suggestions the speech had caused China to pull the plug on the trip are being played down officially.

    However, he said Mr Williamson's comments had "raised eyebrows".


    The last two sentences are BBC speak for the government has shat the bed.

    Troy how long have you lived in Germany? Long enough to have obtained citizenship. You are like some of my wife's dumb fuk friends who have been in the UK 10+ years and never bother to obtained British citizenship either through laziness or a dickhead husband. You had the option you chose not to take it. Go cry elsewhere but you are educated so what is your excuse?

    ^ The idea of freedom of movement within the EU and the Treaty of Rome was obviously completely lost with you.

    Third nationals require change of citizenship to stay. EU citizens do not need to change their nationality.

    Look at the figures for change of nationality, there is a huge number of UK citizens in the EU who have not done this and will require work permits to continue.

    It has little to do with me, I am old enough to do as I like.

    Nice rant but totally avoided the question asked, as in you've lived in Germany for numerous years and you would have qualified for citizenship and a German passport, so I ask again why don't you have a German passport?

    Before you go off on another whataboutery answer that first.

    No deal: https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info...y-qanda_en.pdf

    WA: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/publ...l-agreement_en

    In addition to this, a number of MS have agreed bilateral rights for reciprocity, including voting rights post Brexit, in addition to EU assurances on residency.
    It is one area upon which all countries seem to be in agreement, so I really don’t see why you are so concerned about it.

    As an EU citizen I don't need to and if I did my third national wife would have needed an A1 in German with 18 months to reach B2. The Treaty of Rome allowed her entry and be able to learn English to a higher standard instead. If I change citizenship her visa is revoked.

    Switch, I can post the letter in German if you are not convinced. An agreement allows for full EU rights in the future. No deal means 3 months to get citizenship, third national visa or Foxtrot Oscar.

    You asked a question. I used EC literature to answer it. Sorry for both links being in English. It was either that or the only other EU alternative.

    Don’t worry yourself insignificant troll. The British are leaving. Perhaps not as soon as you would like, but they are leaving.

    Passengers stranded across Europe have told of their frustration after the UK regional airline Flybmi collapsed, cancelling all its flights.

    The company said uncertainty over Brexit and rises in fuel and carbon costs led it to go into administration.


    ......no doubt the Brexiteers will tell us it had nothing to do with uncertainty over Brexit or buying aviation fuel with a very weak pound.

    Surely the company had "strong" Euros to buy fuel.

    An interesting insight into the 'thoughts' of a Brexiteer.

    ...and only a mild snide attack on another poster, well done!
