Maybe not, but Germany certainly profits more than anyone else, due to their export economy. Personally I don't care if Germany makes a fortune, Germans and Germany will do what's best for them, it's only annoying when they start whining on about what another Nation does in IT'S best interests.

If there was no twitter I probably wouldn't have found that there is in fact an open consultation on reforming retained EU employment law.lot of info and discussion in that thread! and in case that tweet gets deleted bc of a sudden Elon Musk brain fart here is the link to the official govt. consultation paper Open consultation Retained EU employment law reforms www.gov.uk/government/consultations/retained-eu-employment-law-reformsEven if You don't look inside the meta data are telling From: Department for Business and Trade Published: 12 May 2023 Deadline: 7 July 2023 Don't worry about the short time frame, it's only about Britain's future in the next 2-3 decades or so, so why give stakeholders any say, they probably have to pay Hogan Lovells anyways ...
I mean even to the most hard core Brexiters or Brexiteers or Lexiters it should be clear now that You have to Stop that sh1t, General Election now! And I do not say this to reverse Brexit, but for stopping the immediate damage!

Give up - you're talking to yourself. You might not be aware of it, but the old Brexit thread on imdb2 had importance not only for some few members there. It was also used as a reference on what's going on in the UK for some Britons living in the EU I know who felt abandoned by their homeland - especially as they were not allowed to vote on the referendum if they had lived more than 15 years abroad. It's them who are sometimes left in Limbo when they have to visit their (sometimes former) homeland again bc they suddenly have to manage family affairs. And it had been them who recommended the thread to others as they felt it was full of reliable information. And it also had been them who sometimes informed me on important sources I missed to keep the quality up. Whether this thread will be spread in the same way is also dependent on your Gutherzigkeit Sorry for harassing your eyes with this immense brick wall of text. You could have watched a JeffersonCody video in the same time.

Many of them did good for their homeland though not living there. They used to work for British companies that had locations in the continent, they worked as British civil servants in the EU, they worked in the retail sector for British products, and they were far better ambassadors for British culture and British values than some of the football fans hopping over for 2 days. And many of them gave up their British citizenship - not light hearted but with bitter tears. And they have been mostly welcomed.

But to have people voting on an all-encompassing issue when their sole concern is ease of travel is ridiculous. Stuff them. They left us so we leave them. Tough shit.

You are welcome to them.

Flying MonkeysyggdrasilYou are both pretty quick with Your verdict. It might have something to do with the fact that the likelihood of meeting such people in Britain in person is now quite low. So these stories do not enter your real life anymore. There were many British citzens in relationships with EU citizens who couldn't plan their future life (job, family, next business, ... ) for some years bc of the uncertainty that took several years. And they didn't get much help from the home office that had been led by Tory ministers. (perhaps exactly because their vote wasn't seen as relevant anymore? ) There was a case lately (popped up in the "Times") where a Briton who wanted to return to his homeland couldn't take his (German) spouse with him though she is the mother of his child (don't remember whether they are married or not). She got no visum. You couldn't predict the outcome of cases like this (or even more complex ones) for a long time. So it's not only about "easy travel". I remember - there had been legal battles about who had the right to vote at that time www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/apr/28/british-expats-lose-legal-battle-right-to-vote-eu-referendumOne day I will find out whether British soldiers stationed in Germany (not exactly the same as "left the country" is it?) for more than 15 years had the right to vote...
When I started the B-thread on that other message board my very first post was about the situations of EU citizens in the UK and vice versa. I had a reason: It was important to me bc I knew concrete cases. imdb2.freeforums.net/post/2449792/threadThe two groups who collected data for people in Limbo were EU citizens in the UK (EUinUK) UK citizens in the EU (UKinEU) AFAIK the 2nd group doesn't exist anymore as many UK citizens cleared their situation now otherwise (dual passport or new citizenship while losing the old one). You might call that "cheaply" - but there are heartbreaking stories behind that, for them their decisions were anything else than "cheaply". And especially difficult was to find the right moment (having enough information) to take that decision with reasoning - or not.

Corruption scandal ‘damaging’ to EU credibility, says Charles Michel... www.politico.eu/article/charles-michel-corruption-scandal-european-union-qatargate/The “Qatargate” corruption scandal rocking the European Parliament is “dramatic and damaging for the credibility of the European Union” and makes it harder for Brussels to deal with multiple competing crises, European Council President Charles Michel told POLITICO in an exclusive interview. Speaking in his offices in the Europa building in Brussels, Michel said he was very concerned over the charges of criminal enterprise, money laundering and corruption brought by the Belgian police against current and former members of the European Parliament in recent days.
