Non-EU citizens can only spend a total of 90 days over an 180-day period in the whole of the European Union.
Saying goodbye to their life in France, where they were paying around £2,574 (€3,000) in taxes every year,
So these people who were rich enough to own a second home wanted to spend more than 50% of their time in France, but were paying the vast majority of their taxes back to the UK?
No wonder the laws got tightened.
Did you read the article? The couple quoted spent about 140 days and now can’t spend more than 90.
I’m no ornithologist but I don’t think that’s a peacock.
Man, this thread is full of dickheads. Even if, say, only 30% of these people voted Remain, that’s a lot of people who deserve some sympathy. To damn a whole group of people when a substantial number share the exact same opinions as you is truly thoughtless.
I’m a remainer in a leave-majority area, for what it’s worth. May as well tell me about the “consequences of my actions” too!
No sympathy for deliberate stupidity and pride-based sense of entitlement.
Edit: I misread OP’s comment. Yeah, for those who voted Remain, geez, sucks to be you, and I understand (source: Did not want Trump to win.)
But the people I am talking about are the remainers who didn’t have that.
Oh. Sorry, I misread. You’re right.
But anyway.
I have a small suspicion that if Leave won, it’s because not enough Stay people go out and vote.
And those who did vote, yeah, that sucks. But that’s how “democracy” works (in quotes because I know there was a lot of external manipulation.)
Turnout was actually pretty good. But there was external manipulation, illegal spending, plus a ton of shifting goalposts, with no confirmation vote once the real Brexit “deal” existed. Pre-vote, people were told we’d be able to be like Norway, as unbelievable as that sounds now. Wild how a 52/48 result was taken as confirmation for the hardest Brexit possible. It truly sucks.
