"Prior to Brexit, we were able to jump on a tour bus and then our truck was loaded with all of our equipment. We'd drive to Dover, straight over to France and start performing shows immediately without any real hassle or trouble.

British nationals living in Portugal are unable to access healthcare, change jobs, or travel in and out of the country as its ministers have not issued them with post-Brexit residency cards, it has emerged.
The UK government has raised the issue at ministerial level and urged Portugal to implement fully the withdrawal agreement and protect the rights of the 34,500 Britons who made the country their home before Brexit.

People have been left detained at airports, paying to have broken bones treated or risked losing their jobs due to the delays in getting a biometric card that is vital to everyday life and proves their legal status.
Under the UK-EU withdrawal agreement, British citizens in Portugal were guaranteed their social and employment rights would be protected. However, the Portuguese government has yet to provide the biometric residency cards.Instead, a temporary document and QR code has been issued, which Britons say is not recognised locally or at international borders.

James Campbell, a computer programmer, said: “I am feeling more like an illegal immigrant at the moment.” He listed 25 things that had happened to him because of the lack of documentation, including a £4,000 private hospital bill for a broken limb because he could not access state healthcare.



Leave means LEAVE twats.................

Apologies if posted already, but this is an interesting development: a new centre right Climate Party in the UK. Apologies if posted already.
I've always found it surprising that so few conservatives were grasping the business opportunity presented by the energy transition.

Brexits is just all about imperial delusion, tax dodging and flags really.

Brexits is just all about imperial delusion, tax dodging and flags really.

That latter graph is disingenuous.
People didn't care much about the EU, but when you did ask people about it, you generally got a negative response.
UKIP were properly threatening the Tories back in the early 2010s, but it was a fringe concern.

People got properly interested after the referendum was announced in late 2015. I think to blame it on Tax Avoidance Reform is massively simplistic.
