And you say its because the uk is in the eu?
Boris has spoken!
Erm..
So the only British news i've been reading regularly the last month or so is the Guardian. I didn't see anything about article 50 and its triggering recently, wasn't it supposed to be round about now?
Let's see the figures when they are no longer in it.
Boris has spoken!
Such a fecking tit. Boasts about Britain's extensive emmigration. Oversees a xenophobic campaign all about curbing immigration. Freedom of movement is fine. So long as its British people doing the moving. Feck off.
That particular hypocrisy is eerily reminiscent of a prolific poster in this thread, come to think of it...
Supposed to be by the end of March, the House of Lords are discussing the Bill at the moment.
Ah, thanks @Paul the Wolf !
Yes lets do that, if you really could predict the future you'd be a billionaire.
g'awn Boris!
Cos you buy cheap furniture from the UK thanks to the weak poundHow do you know I'm not

Warren Buffet supposedly bought Bill Gates lunch at McDonalds once, and used coupons.

That could be the reason why.
I wish
Well no-one should have to pay for mcdonalds
If you are a billionaire then I am Jean Claude Junk's bestie
Between them they've donated £29 billion to charity. Quite astonishing really.
Just putting all the documents together I need to become a French citizen. Maximum time to know if I'm successful is within one year.
The cost is rather prohibitive though, bit different from the UK. A grand total of €55.

I got 20 out of 20 on a German citizenship test on facebook. The answers were all very guessable though. Also the questions were in English, I'd have been a bit fecked it they were in German.
Is that it?
I speak french fluently but because of my age I don't need to pass a test or even answer questions about France other than a simple oral conversation. I would need a diploma if I was younger.
Because I am obtaining citizenship by being married to a French person it is much more simple, although not massively difficult as the UK. It would be more complicated if I was applying and not having a french connection but nothing like the UK.
Also the form is only one page. Again the above circumstances apply.
May's government scrapped the 2020 target though. My point is these cuts were always going to happen and probably would have been even worse if we stayed in the EU and Cameron held onto power.
Didn't the government just announce record receipts for tax?
Assuming the predictions of an economic downturn become true, and even a hard brexiteer admits that some kind of downturn is likely, a more severe downturn by remainers , the receipts from tax are likely to be considerably less after leaving the EU, thus even more cuts should be anticipated after an EU exit.
Traitor
Was it 85 pages long and payment by postal order or cheque like the uk?
I'll still keep the UK citizenship, as well, mainly cos I paid for a 10 year passport last year.
Form was 1 page long and payment is by timbre fiscal (fiscal stamp)
Not allowed in NL
Spain, likewise, I believe
The difference being that if we'd stayed the cuts wouldn't have been because of the EU, just because the country was dumb enough to believe in an austerity government.
Anyone know why Germany are allowed to break eu budget surplus rules? Genuine question
They're the captain of the ship. I thought you covered this already?
Don't tell him, Pike!
Lawther said Nissan was looking for a bundle of measures in Brexit negotiations and had made “a strong request” to the government to ensure Britain stayed in the customs union.
A World Trade Organisation alternative would be a financial “disaster” with a 10% tariff on exports costing the company up to £500m a year, he added.
Customs checks on freight in and out of the plant would also be a problem, Lawther said, with every minute factored into the business costs.
“Take Sunderland. We hold about half a day’s stock inside the plant itself, and that’s continuously replenished. Every day we use about 5m parts; 5m have to come into the plant, they have to get fitted to the right car and we build two cars every minute,” Lawther said.
“We talk about minutes; we’re talking two, three, four, six minutes’ downtime a day interruption is a disaster.”
The overseas content of Nissan cars would have to be reduced by about half if the cars were to be deemed British under WTO rules of origin.

The government has been defeated after the House of Lords said ministers should guarantee EU nationals' right to stay in the UK after Brexit.
Peers have voted in favour of amendment 9B to the EU (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill by 358 votes to 256 - a majority of 102.
The amendment means the government must bring forward proposals to ensure the rights of EU citizens in the UK post-Brexit within three months of triggering Article 50.
However, MPs will be able to remove their changes when the bill returns to the House of Commons.
Ministers say the issue is a priority but must be part of a deal protecting UK expats overseas.

Is democracy rearing its ugly head in the UK?
As the Brexiteers cry " It's not this type of democracy we want, off with their heads!!"

i'm just watching a dutch program called Uit Europa that covers the hatred of the eu across Europe, right now there is a French farmer that has to give up his dairy cows, "I hate the eu, I don't want to talk about Europe" he says. I imagine this is the view of many French farmers
You should watch it.
The house of lords may be right or they may be wrong, but either way they are certainly not democratic.
I don't see the point in returning the bill to the House of Commons, the Government should just accept the amendment and move on.
There is no way the EU is going to refuse British expats the right to stay in their countries. Though i wouldn't put it past the Conservatives, i don't think they'd have used the EU citizens as a bargaining chip.
It'd have been nice to have a bilateral agreement to protect UK citizens in the EU, but i imagine that'd be sorted out quick enough

Of course it will. The EU have consistently maintained they will not discuss or negotiate anything until after article 50 is delivered. It's a non-story.
Yet they have demanded clarity from the UK before negotiations, they just want their cake and eat it I guess, cnuts
