Sky News reports today that up to 80% of Brits living in Europe are NOT retired people

[MM]

Contrary to popular belief, around 80% of the British who live in
other EU states are NOT retired, but depend on a daily job to fund
their lives and families. The Sky report this morning highlights their
plight in still not knowing what their status will be after Brexit.

For example, Austria and the Netherlands do not allow dual
nationality. One person living in Austria said that she would have to
apply for Austrian citizenship and forego her British nationality if
she wanted to carry on living in Austria where she has lived for the
past 20 years.

Dozens of other similar stories are now emerging. Many Brits are
married to EU nationals and are wondering that if they, the Brits,
have to return to the UK, what is the status/rights of their spouse?
And their children? One woman has two biological children and two
adopted children. Again, what would become of the adoptees following
Brexit?

One guy told how he lives in Belgium, but works in the Netherlands.
Most distances in the Benelux countries are short, because they're all
small countries. But without freedom of movement, it may no longer be
possible to cross the border each morning and evening in order to hold
down a job. Do Brexiters simply shrug and say, "Not our problem!"

One thing is becoming clear: If we crash out without a deal, all the
1.5 million Brits in Europe will become illegal immigrants overnight.

You did miss the point - sure she can live there by naturalising as Austrian, BUT would have to denounce her British nationality to do so.

No, but they would have to regularise - a compliance mountain for non EU in Belgium for example.

Rubbish. You misunderstand. Austria *does* allow non-Austrian nationals
and non-EU nationals to live there. They just need to get a residence
visa of one kind or another, just as in any other country. They *don't*
have to change nationality.

Sure, but the clue is in the title: "non-EU nationals". I.e. British
nationals outside the EU will NOT be entitled to the same rights as EU
nationals -- unless they forego their British nationality and apply
for (and obtain) Austrian citizenship. A mere residence permit doesn't
cut it.

But after Britain has left the EU, he will no longer be entitled to
the same rights as EU citizens. If he was born to a French parent,
either in France or abroad, he may be entitled to apply for French
citizenship. Otherwise, as a non-EU national after we've left, he will
be classed as an alien, albeit with a right to residency in France --
unless of course France decides to revoke such residency rights at
some point.

I suggest you get yourself clued up on citizenship and nationality.

IME of living/working aboard (as a registered resident) the only one that
was missing was the right to vote

Mere residency doesn't protect you from being forced to leave. Even
East European migrants to Britain could have been deported after six
months with no means of support, and this while we're still in the EU!
The British government did not take advantage of this EU rule, but it
was there nevertheless.

I remember a particular time during my working career as a guest
worker in West Germany when there was a recession and people were
being laid off all over the place. But the fact that because I had
already spent five years there meant I couldn't be fired so easily.
Those foreigners that were, were given pretty short shrift by the
Arbeitsamt and told to go home.

Yes, because the British border force does not keep track of who is
coming in and who is going out.

Blame the lackadaisical British authorities, not the EU. The EU kindly
made provision to get rid of scroungers, but we couldn't be arsed.

It's not about whether their face fits, it's about the law, and no

then that foreigner doesn't have a leg to stand on.

No it doesn't

As has already been explained to you. It is perfectly possible to be a bona
fide resident of Austria without being an Austrian citizen

the two things are NOT intrinsically linked

It's not about whether their face fits, it's about the law, and no
authority can flout the law. If a foreigner no longer complies with
the law, by dint of a decision made back home, e.g. the referendum,
then that foreigner doesn't have a leg to stand on.

don't be silly
all EU countries have legitimate registered residents who are from the set
of rEU citizens and of ROW citizens
all that the UK leaving the EU does is move UK citizens from one set to the
other

Not true. At 23:01 on 29/Mar/19 UK citizens will cease to be members
of an EU state and any restrictions placed on aliens in the same
category will apply to them as well

East European migrants to Britain could have been deported after six
months with no means of support, and this while we're still in the EU!
The British government did not take advantage of this EU rule, but it
was there nevertheless.

That's because they are scroungers.

So what? It was a law available to the British government, which did
not take advantage of.

because the point of discussion isn't why didn't the Brits take advantage of
it
it's can this random rEU country that the Brit is currently resident in take
advantage of it
and the answer is no, because the Brit in question isn't economically
inactive.

And if his employment is terminated because his employer is now aware
of his changed residency rights? What then?

You might ask yourself, after Brexit is any employer on the Continent
going to hire someone without checking their bona fide residency
rights?

but, by definition from the question they DO have bona fide resident rights.

They do NOW, because Britain is still an EU state. After we leave,
those rights must and will change. You must surely be aware that up to
three million EU citizens living in the UK right now are extremely
concerned about what will happen to them after March 2019. It's been
all over the news for months. What makes you think that EU states are

already spent five years there meant I couldn't be fired so easily.
Those foreigners that were, were given pretty short shrift by the
Arbeitsamt and told to go home.

but we aren't discussing people who have only been there a year

Makes no difference how long if one needs either (a) to be a citizen
of a member EU country or (b) have the recognised nationality, which
in the case of Austria means a Brit would need to forego his British
nationality and apply for (and obtain) Austrian citizenship.

No it doesn't
As has already been explained to you. It is perfectly possible to be a bona
fide resident of Austria without being an Austrian citizen
the two things are NOT intrinsically linked

Contrary to popular belief, around 80% of the British who live in
other EU states are NOT retired, but depend on a daily job to fund
their lives and families. The Sky report this morning highlights their
plight in still not knowing what their status will be after Brexit.
For example, Austria and the Netherlands do not allow dual
nationality. One person living in Austria said that she would
have
to
apply for Austrian citizenship and forego her British
nationality
if
she wanted to carry on living in Austria where she has lived for the
past 20 years.

That would only be true if Austria never allowed non-Autsrian nationals
to live there. Since that is obviously false, the whole story is
a
load
of shite.

You did miss the point - sure she can live there by naturalising as
Austrian, BUT would have to denounce her British nationality to do so.

Rubbish. You misunderstand. Austria *does* allow non-Austrian nationals
and non-EU nationals to live there. They just need to get a residence
visa of one kind or another, just as in any other country. They *don't*
have to change nationality.

Sure, but the clue is in the title: "non-EU nationals". I.e. British
nationals outside the EU will NOT be entitled to the same rights as EU
nationals -- unless they forego their British nationality and apply
for (and obtain) Austrian citizenship. A mere residence permit doesn't
cut it.

what rights do you think that registered residents don't get that
naturalised citizens do?
IME of living/working aboard (as a registered resident) the only one that
was missing was the right to vote
Annoying perhaps, fundamental effect on my lifestyle in the country not
But any idea that you might be trying to present that locally registered
(and tax paying) non-nationals living there don't get rights to benefits,
use of health care etc etc, is fundamentally false

Mere residency doesn't protect you from being forced to leave.

do you really think that any European country would force economically
active residents with valid entry paperwork to leave, on a whim?

It's not about whether their face fits, it's about the law, and no

Provided their new status is acceptable to the host country. In the
case of Austria, to obtain the same rights as EU nationals, British
ex-pats would need to obtain Austrian citizenship because Austria does
not recognise dual nationality. It's very simple: The law applying to
British nationals in the EU will change after March 2019. I should
have thought you would welcome this change. After all, it is you
Brexiters who wanted all this, isn't it?

have to return to the UK, what is the status/rights of their spouse?
And their children? One woman has two biological children and two
adopted children. Again, what would become of the adoptees following
Brexit?
One guy told how he lives in Belgium, but works in the Netherlands.
Most distances in the Benelux countries are short, because they're all
small countries. But without freedom of movement, it may no longer be
possible to cross the border each morning and evening in order to hold
down a job. Do Brexiters simply shrug and say, "Not our problem!"

"Adolf Hitler: Man of the Year, 1938" it says in big letters so you
can't miss it.

Yet my link clearly says 'Adolph Hitler'. In any event, I don't need a news
article to tell me what I already know; that is, that 'Adolph' is the
Anglicised spelling and was commonly used years ago (alongside 'Adolf').

There's no need for an anglicised spelling, and there never was. Adolf
is perfectly pronounceable in English. Why would anyone want to change it?

No one changed it; 'Adolph' was the usual spelling in English speaking
countries but Hitler's spelling gained prominence.

You can find any mistake you like somewhere on Google, usually by the
terminally ignorant.

It isn't a mistake. You're just too ignorant to understand the orthography of
the English language.

You jest, but Hitler partly funded his war machine that way.

I am aware of that; the ghost of Adolph has been invoked numerous times against
those of us who wish to leave the EU.

Adolph is spelt with an effing 'f'.

In fact, 'Adolph' is the older British spelling.

Not of his name it isn't.

Yes it is and you would be aware of that had you been more widely read.

One thing is becoming clear: If we crash out without a deal, all the
1.5 million Brits in Europe will become illegal immigrants overnight.

If that's how EU countries treat their guests, is it any surprise we
no longer want to be a member?

Surely, many brexiteers are itching to expel all the immigrants?

Now, you know that's not true. It's actually the Asians they want to expel.

Isn't 'Asian' Cultural Marxist Newspeak for Moslem?
If we're to be accused of being racist, why stop short at the Moslems? Surely
we wish to expel all the blackamoors?
In fact, given how xenophobic we are, let's just get rid of Johhny Foreigner

You seem to forget the racist undertones of the Leave campaign. Sadly, one of its principle selling points is that we would be able to stop and reverse the tide of unwanted immigrants from eastern Europe. Is it any surprise when they are not inclined to make special arrangements for Brit's in their countries?

It's another cake and eat scenario - we can send the Poles and Slav's home, but Brits should be able to carry on living and working in the EU without hindrance.

Contrary to popular belief, around 80% of the British who live in
other EU states are NOT retired, but depend on a daily job to fund
their lives and families. The Sky report this morning highlights their
plight in still not knowing what their status will be after Brexit.
For example, Austria and the Netherlands do not allow dual
nationality. One person living in Austria said that she would have to
apply for Austrian citizenship and forego her British nationality if
she wanted to carry on living in Austria where she has lived for the
past 20 years.
Dozens of other similar stories are now emerging. Many Brits are
married to EU nationals and are wondering that if they, the Brits,
have to return to the UK, what is the status/rights of their spouse?
And their children? One woman has two biological children and two
adopted children. Again, what would become of the adoptees following
Brexit?
One guy told how he lives in Belgium, but works in the Netherlands.
Most distances in the Benelux countries are short, because they're all
small countries. But without freedom of movement, it may no longer be
possible to cross the border each morning and evening in order to hold
down a job. Do Brexiters simply shrug and say, "Not our problem!"

Is there a manned border post between Belgium and the Netherlands?

Just south of Breda, there used to be a whole 'village', the purpose of
which was to deal with the customs on goods traffic crossing to and from
Belgium. This was on the 'old road', and trucks and any other traffic
requiring the involvement of a customs officer had to pass that way. The
'village' consisted of the obvious customs offices and agents,
restaurants, cafes, pubs, hotels and brothels. However, the whole thing
was bypassed by a motorway - and although there was a sort of 'bus-stop'
border post where you might sometimes find a couple of border officials,
no one normally needed to stop there.

Like Ireland, in some cases the border historically passes through some
people's living rooms etc.

If a British guest worker no longer has the entitlement to move
between EU states, then it's doubtful whether his job would continue.
Why would a Dutch employer risk a whole load of hassle with the new
status of British employees if said employer can hire EU nationals
instead?
