    You dumb spastic fuck, there are that many in Spain and Portugal alone but they are not registered on carta residencia terms but remain under the radar because of tax reasons.

    You just make shit up, 1.2 million Brits living in the EU including pensioners. You can tell yourself the figure is higher all you like but you will be wrong. You really are a clueless old soak.

    actually you do make a valid point here, and I agree

    the idea got carried away,

    what we need to do now is work with Russia, kicking out the former Satellites, and have them re-join under a Russian Supervision framework

    one bloc to another, much easier

    Ministers play down leaked Brexit study


    Ministers have sought to play down the leak of a government document predicting an economic hit from Brexit.

    According to BuzzFeed,
    the report concluded growth would be lower in each of three different Brexit outcomes than if the UK had stayed in the EU.

    Brexit minister Steve Baker told MPs the document was at a "preliminary" stage and "requires further work".

    But Labour said it should be published and the SNP said it was a "watershed" moment in the Brexit process.
    Eurosceptics said other forecasts had been wrong and this one should be taken "with a pinch of salt".

    According to Buzzfeed, the leaked document, titled EU Exit Analysis - Cross Whitehall Briefing and drawn up for the Department for Exiting the EU, suggests almost every part of the economy would suffer.

    It looked at scenarios ranging from leaving with no deal to remaining within the EU single market.

    Responding to an urgent question in the Commons, Mr Baker said the document was "not anywhere near being approved by ministers" and that ministers in his team had only just seen it.

    He described the document as a "preliminary attempt to improve on the flawed analysis around the EU referendum" and said it did not asses the government's preferred option of a bespoke free trade deal.

    It "does not yet take account of the opportunities of leaving the EU", he said, adding that civil service forecasts were "always wrong and wrong for good reasons".

    'Highly embarrassing'


    Responding to calls for it to be published, Mr Baker said MPs would get as much information as possible when they vote on the final Brexit deal but said: "We don't propose to go into these negotiations having revealed all of our thinking."

    And as Brexiteer MPs hit out at the leaking of the document, he said there was "clearly" a campaign to overturn the 2016 EU referendum by some people in the media and the House of Commons.

    One Conservative MP, Antoinette Sandbach, told Mr Baker she took exception to being told it was not in the national interest for her to see the document.

    And responding for Labour, Brexit spokesman Sir Keir Starmer said the emergence of the report was "piling absurdity on absurdity" with the government having previously denied the existence of Brexit impact assessments.

    Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "For months, Theresa May's government have refused to produce any detailed analysis of the potential impact of various Brexit scenarios - now we know why they have so desperately engaged in a cover-up."

    The BBC understands the Treasury contributed to the document but sources say it is part of a much wider range of work going on in Whitehall.

    The report suggests UK economic growth would be 8% lower than current forecasts, in 15 years' time, if the country left the bloc with no deal and reverted to World Trade Organisation rules.

    It says growth would be 5% lower if Britain negotiated a free trade deal and 2% lower even if the UK were to continue to adhere to the rules of the single market.

    All scenarios assume a new deal with the US.

    Conservative MP Philip Davies blamed the report on "London-centric remoaners" in the civil service "who didn't want us to leave the European Union in the first place and put together some dodgy figures to back up their case".

    Earlier Conservative MP and leave campaigner Iain Duncan Smith told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the document should be taken "with a pinch of salt" as almost every single forecast on Brexit has been wrong.

    A government source said the report "contains a significant number of caveats and is hugely dependant on a wide range of assumptions".

    The FDA, which represents senior civil servants, reacted angrily to Mr Baker's dismissal of the leaked study.

    "We have just witnessed the extraordinary scene of a serving minister telling the House that, whatever analysis his own department comes up with, he simply won't believe it," said the union's general secretary Dave Penman.

    "How can civil servants in Mr Baker's department, who are working harder than ever before, now have confidence in a minister who stands at the despatch box and openly questions their professionalism?"

    Meanwhile, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox has denied telling Tory Brexiteers to prepare for disappointment.

    Speaking to The Sun about pressure on Prime Minister Theresa May, he criticised Tory MPs involved with negative briefings, saying "nothing that would happen would change the parliamentary arithmetic".

    "We don't have a working majority, other than with the support of the Democratic Unionists, and we need to accept the reality of that. I know that there are always disappointed individuals but they're going to have to live with disappointment."

    Mr Fox told the BBC his warning was to Mrs May's critics that they will be "disappointed" in their efforts to topple her or secure cabinet positions for themselves.

    'Highly embarrassing' indeed
    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

    I guess buriramboy took that number from a BBC article or somewhere similar, which in turn, obtained it from UN figures. The problem is that these figures are based on census figures that are normally for people that have lived at least 2 years in the Country and possibly 5 years.

    I think thegent is probably closer in reality, with the caveat: 'living and working in the EU', as opposed to registered resident in the EU. This includes the large number of UK citizens that rotate on a 2 year basis (2 years is due to tax liabilities and their transfer to the EU Country in question).

    That two year rule isn't set in concrete and I've known it extended a few times depending on Nationality and EU country.

    ​Let's get our hoovers back!
    What EU Law Are You Desperate To Lose? "The Ban On Henry Hoovers" - LBC
    This caller told James O'Brien he can't wait for Britain to get its freedom back and get rid of the restrictive EU laws. So which law is he desperate to repeal?
    Mark retired and moved to France and believes Britain will get more flexibility as we can set our own laws.

    James asked which laws he was looking forward to getting rid of.
    After failing to answer the question several times, Mark finally said: "The law from Europe telling me I can't use a Henry Hoover vacuum cleaner because it uses a bit too much energy.
    "Rather a waste of resource. Rather a waste of money."

    Whats your point? I bought one two months ago. It cleans my floor. It works. If EU regulations means it’s less polluting and costs less to run then that’s a good thing. What are you whining about.

    Henry hoover is under the power limit so is fine when it comes to the EU legislation. The UK will be adopting the EU laws anyway so what's the big deal, unless you are marketing Dyson products....

    Laws that it will soon be paying through the nose for in order to be uninvolved in their making.

    Brexit will leave UK worse off in every scenario, leaked report predicts | News | DW | 30.01.2018

    Report: Brexit to harm UK no matter the trade deal
    A leaked report prepared by the British government says every sector of the UK economy except agriculture will suffer under Brexit no matter what trade deal Britain is able to negotiate with the EU. If no trade deal is agreed on, UK economic growth could drop by as much as 8% over 15 years, the report says.

    fuck, more bad news, we are stuck with the silly Brits for a bit longer

    EU open to extended post-Brexit transition

    The European Council said the transition period governing the UK's relationship with the EU after Brexit could be extended beyond the beginning of 2021 if more time is needed to establish a trade agreement. Ekaterina Zakharieva, chairwoman of the European Council, said the EU is willing to be flexible about the length of the transition.

    And that is exactly why May has to go and a PM appointed who actually believes in Brexit and has a vision for Britain's future. We will never truly leave under this current joke of an administration with Doris at the helm.

    told you, doesn't matter who is the PM, all deals will lead to disaster for the UK

    she is just making it easy to blame it all on her instead of the usual suspects,

    Of course it matters who the PM is. Doris is about as inspiring as dirty dishwater, she seems clueless with no vision, no energy, nothing anyone can get behind. The trouble is the people voted to leave but Parliament and Government is still stacked full of people who want to remain and doing their best to undermine Brexit. We need a PM with some backbone.

    Who do you propose then?
    Mogg: too out of touch with the public- a stuffy posh cvnt who belongs in a Dickens novel.
    Gove: King of the Windowlickers.

    I'm leaning towards the Liberal Democrats come election time. I love most of Corbyns policies but he seems hell bent on Brexit.

    Mogg as much as I like him and is a great orator unfortunately he has some dumb personal views on shit like abortion which would become an obsession if he stood for high office thus making him unelectable.

    Gove is a fucking intelligent man and should have been allowed to carry on with his much needed education reforms after years of dumbing down of our education system under Labour but he stabbed Johnson in the back which he won't be forgiven for so again unelectable.

    There is a lack of electable talent within the Tory party but any of the above 2 would still be preferable to May. Even though she is a remoaner if Ruth Davidson got elected to the commons instead of her wasting her time in the Scottish parliament I wouldn't be adverse to seeing her as Tory leader.

    As to Corbyn you like SeekingAss must really hate the UK if want to see him anywhere near No.10.
