All kind of "Refugees" are now what you mainly see. We, in Belgium, only blame our different governments for this, they had/have the tools to make their stay less easy, never any legislation has been created. And this is the case for any country. Of course for a government it is more easy to do nothing, and blame a third party, there are even some/a lot who believe it. I am really curious what will happen in the U.K. next year in that matter, being out of the E.U., no way they can blame it anymore, and if the U.K. could, falsely, pretend it could not create laws, due to being a member of the E.U., it wont be able to use that lame excuse anymore.

Popular Post vogie Posted December 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Proboscis said: Don't get me wrong - the French may not be able to get their seafood so easily and the Germans will lose market for their cars after Brexit kicks in January 1st. But this has not bred incredible bitterness. If you read the newspapers in these countries, you will not see the German car industry beating the Government or the EU for losing this market for cars. Nor will you see the French consumers marching in the streets for loss of their seafood. The fact is that there will be other sources for seafood and other markets for cars. And while the EU citizens and their businesses will be sad to to see the Brits go on this new strange and inexplicable venture, there is no bitterness. In fact, Brexit has much less coverage in European newspapers than in the UK. They are much more concerned with Covid. You see, the bitterness is all a fantasy of the extreme Brexiteers in the UK. They interpret the EU and all its members as always having been against the UK. And I suppose if anyone only ever read the Murdoch press, they would think that too. In the midst of all the hatred that has been fanned up by the Murdoch media, you fail to see the French people who are fans of Marks and Spenser, the Germans who love old British cars, the Belgians who like their fish done the English style - not to mention the number of people who were able to quote Shakespeare to me in the various countries in Europe whereas that hardly happens in the UK unless you happen to be in Oxford or some place like that. I can tell you that there are some people who are very bitter about what has happened, about the whole Brexit thing who live in Europe. They are the Brits who live very happily in Spain and whose lives will change rather drastically with Brexit, even if there is a deal, even if there is the most perfect deal possible. Now they will be considered a "third country" and will have to face all sorts of bureaucracy with respect to permission to say, work and travel with their pets than before. You should talk to those retirees, some of whom were in favor of the Brexit as it was sold to them at the time but are hopping mad now! A very well written piece Proboscis unfortunately I think you have missed the point the poster you are replying to was making and indeed have missed out the most salient point you could have mentioned. I believe when the poster said "bitterness" he was not referring to the people of Paris or the citizens of Colongne, he probably was referring to the constant snide remarks from the Euro posters on this very site, the majority, but not all cannot go a post without a put down to the UK, especially England and there is no real need for it, it is not meant in fun, it is simply being damn right rude. You see, the bitterness is all a fantasy of the extreme Brexiteers in the UK. They interpret the EU and all its members as always having been against the UK. And I suppose if anyone only ever read the Murdoch press, they would think that too. In the midst of all the hatred that has been fanned up by the Murdoch media, you fail to see the French people who are fans of Marks and Spenser, the Germans who love old British cars, the Belgians who like their fish done the English style - not to mention the number of people who were able to quote Shakespeare to me in the various countries in Europe whereas that hardly happens in the UK unless you happen to be in Oxford or some place like that. The Brexiteers are certainly not bitter, BTW what is an "extreme" Brexiteer, you are either a Brexiteer or not, no such thing as extreme, which brings me to the most salient point in what you failed to mention, slowly and surely the EU is turning into a one nation federal state who gives it's orders to the rest of europe, we want no part of being run by these beaurocrats in Brussels, we want to make our own decisions, does that never come into a Euros mind instead of all this 'the UK wants to leave because we are all racists'. And does it make someone stupid because they don't want to quote Shakespear, personally I have better things to with my life, but if it makes the Euros any happier I wouldn't be surprised if Boris could quote the complete works of Shakespear in English, French and even Latin. I can tell you that there are some people who are very bitter about what has happened, about the whole Brexit thing who live in Europe. They are the Brits who live very happily in Spain and whose lives will change rather drastically with Brexit, even if there is a deal, even if there is the most perfect deal possible. Now they will be considered a "third country" and will have to face all sorts of bureaucracy with respect to permission to say, work and travel with their pets than before. You should talk to those retirees, some of whom were in favor of the Brexit as it was sold to them at the time but are hopping mad now! Brexit has never been about the Brits living in Torremolinos or the Dordogne or even taking our dogs to Dieppe, it is about doing what we think is right for our country and we can get on as friends after our divorce, all the better, if not, c'est la vie. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my personal opinion Brexit happened because the U.K. and the E.U. are totally incapable of coexisting. Britons are proud people, with a great history, despite it isn't an empire anymore, they still are convinced it is up to them to give orders, to tell how things must be, not the other way. Sometimes they are even astonished that others may have a different approach of things as they have. This could have worked if the E.U. was composed of countries like Belgium. With France & Germany into it, it was a recipe for disaster. What concern the daily "slurs", don't give the Remainers and others, the opportunity to express them. I can not judge who is right or wrong, but it is a fact that an action cause a reaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that we are doing pretty well. I agree I hope it ends well. But when one side is looking for a deal that helps both sides but the other side is looking to punish, then it becomes difficult. Let's see if the EU can take a more mature stance. Otherwise we both suffer. Try to remember, Brexiteers are not anti Europe we are anti EU. Only the Remainers claim otherwise. Don't fall for their rhetoric, its divisive and counter productive. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
