5.5 million EU citizens claim ......

Settled status in the UK , wonder how many UK expats applications have been approved in the EU . not many I suspect .


More people = more tax revenue.

Looks as though many Western countries are eyeing the population growth of China & India - realising they would be easily over-run.

TBH I think China has released the breaks on Chinese population control to do exactly that.

We keep getting told they have all gone home, if a million have that's 10 % of the uk population just from the EU add in those from other nations it's no wonder the UK is over crowded

There's no money in stopping illegal immigration, there's no money in stopping crime.

There's lots of money in dealing with the repercussions of both.

Odd that nobody has yet raised the fact that the number applying / granted far exceeds the number of 'EU nationals' that it was claimed were living here at the time of the Referendum campaign; and this despite the fact we are told that loads of them have already gone home... wonder why. :unsure:

Plainly U.K. authorities just didn’t have a f**king clue.
Why would they; they are clueless about pretty much everything-
Oh yeah, let’s just clad tower blocks in a flammable substance 😕😕😕

In my village in the U.K., it had just 77 houses, in 20002, we had 5 Czech au pairs in the village. Now, 19 years on I don’t know a single Czech in the U.K. I personally am dead chuffed that the situation is so improved that they can now make a life at home.
My first Czech on the veg job 2001, on an au pair visa 🙄, could earn a months money in 4 days with me.
We have stayed friends and I asked if he was interested in running a farm here for me, he now earns the same pay rate in the Czech Republic as he could here (or U.K.).
all seems good news to me.
It certainly wasn’t good for Poland when all the best quality labour was leaving Poland to do work shy brits jobs🙄

cant you look it up rather than “wonder”🤷‍♂️
I can’t help but wonder, just why “you wonder”. Mainly, I suspect you are looking to justify your own massive f**k up🤔

btw, your old mate says he won’t have a single farm on his books by the end of the year with all the brits buying them up at the moment. Time for me to get shot of the spare I think🤔

Well we've had our new CDS since 25/01/2021. It's on the card. I don't know any that applied timely who haven't got them. Mrs lbp did a couple of people in end of May and their rendezvous for fingerprints took a month and their cards came three and a half weeks later..
There's no problem IF they are legally here and many are not. At a a British embassy meeting that Mrs lbp went to , a guy thought he was ok for the card but was told, after explaining his circumstances, that he was not and furthermore was actually illegally here at the time!

You alright?

Yes some authorities have screwed up over here in some ways, same everywhere sadly; Germany seems to have a major problem with comm's in re flooding and France has a list of domestic cock-ups to rival anywhere and exceed most, while your lovely EU didn't do a very good job in re vaccines, did they...?

(Of course neither France nor Germany have committed your ultimate sin and left the EU, yet, so your explaining away of their failings will make interesting reading...)
