What Do You Think Should Happen To Eu Citizens Living In The Uk?

[sp1814]

Not asking what [i] will happen...because that has not been agreed yet. But what do you think SHOULD happen?

I can't clearly remember a time before free movement, so I don't know what we did. Do you think we should implement a visa system? Say allow EU citizens to remain for a couple of years at a time?

And what do you think should happen to Europeans studying at uni etc?

^Indeed.

Nothing if they are legal and working. ! Some are neither but are apparently able to receive benefits. Which includes using our NHS.
I knew an American woman who had an operation in London and offered to pay but was told in effect to forget it. There wasn't a procedure to do it. ! There probably is but it's not worth the effort.

That's the problem it's not just EU citizens, anyone in the world can come here for freebies . They can even get a basic pension after they are 65. without paying a penny into the kitty. We can't even deport them as there is nowhere they can go.

Maybe they could go to Scotland when that becomes an independent
country ? Together with all the criminals escaping from UK justice !

You could turn that around and ask ' what should happen to British citizens living in the EU' Should they all be sent home.

[-Talbot-]

Yes, the ones not able to support themselves should be sent home.

[naomi24]

I don't think there are many Brits abroad who don't support themselves.

[jambutty]

Agree with naomi at 9:58.

Nothing, as long as they are working and paying tax or otherwise supporting themselves (e.g. pensioners with an income from abroad). A reciprocal agreement can be worked out with countries regarding health care. Those who are illegal or sponging off the system must go.

^^ PS Naomi is correct. Vast majority of Brits abroad support themselves and pay into the host country (several Maires have gone on record as saying that without 'les Brittaniques' their commune would be very badly off). This includes those on pensions - and remember that these older people are not cluttering-up the hospitals in the UK. :)
