StefanAVFC Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 This is just absurd. On another note, I received an email today from our International Employees HR department and now I have to go through the immigration office and fill in reems of paperwork just to stay in my home. I have so much disgust for this bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the British citizens in Europe are right to be worried but should be less worried than these other two groups as I'd expect EU nations to be less perfidious than the UK government with regard to citizenship statuses.

I'm not worried per se, just a bit unsure about the future, and pissed off that this is all happening against my will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 So we've got people who ought to be resigning in disgrace clinging on by their fingernails, while people who have dignity resigning because they can't bear to continue working with this government. We're all ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure that expectation is reasonable to be honest. The UK has been much better and more proactive about enacting the ‘citizens rights’ aspect of the withdrawal agreement than the majority of EU nations have. A number of EU nations now have large anti immigration parties in their parliaments, including here in Sweden. As yet Brits in Sweden don’t know if they will be eligible for ‘settled’ or ‘presettled status’. Nothing has been set up as yet with no word on who will be eligible, yet the clock is ticking. Sweden is not the only one dragging its heels. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted September 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2020 The right thing to do is resign. 'No' We're post shame. Falling on your sword is an exception to be used only in the direst circumstances. It's disgusting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) I wonder why this 6 person announcement was made 6 days in advance? It's almost like they just needed to change the front page. Edited September 9, 2020 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back at home almost a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
