Definitely a whiff of jilted lover about it. Of course, had we not left then there would nothing they could do, our artists could continue to earn a living (the music sector for example was dominant earning millions, if not billions, with free movement) and our influence become greater. Whereas now we are a third party and they can do as they please, our artists have to apply for permits for each country to play gigs across the EU. We’re now in direct competition with them , so it’s a logical move for them to make isn’t it ? Promote their own stuff , languages etc . This is the path we’ve chosen and it’s no good whining about it . This is what people forget. They just want the benefits of Brexit without realising the downsides that we’re now a competitor and as such, competitors will make moves. If we cut back on foreign TV shows post Brexit, it’d be hailed as a brilliant nationalist move. If the EU do it, it’s viewed as typical EU bullying tactics. As usual, wanting both sides of the coin |

Settled status deadline coming up. Hopefully they'll be sensible about any late applications. "There is a week to go until the deadline for applications. Some 5.6 million European Economic Area (EEA) citizens and their dependents have applied for settled status. But there are around 400,000 cases outstanding, and the government's helpline is receiving thousands of calls a day. The countries whose nationals have made the highest numbers of applications are Poland (975,000) and Romania (918,000). Immigration minister Kevin Foster said anyone whose application was not concluded by next week's deadline would not lose out, as their rights were protected in law. He added that immigration enforcement officials would begin issuing 28-day notices to people, advising them to apply for settled status. Migrants' groups had voiced concern that children would be among those who had not applied. But Mr Foster said there would be an indefinite period where people who had not applied would be allowed to do so, if they had reasonable grounds." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-57562285Edit: EU nationals living in the UK have until 30 June to apply to stay in the UK. They can apply for: Settled status - on offer to anyone who can prove that they had been in the UK continuously for five years or more before 31 December 2020. As of 31 May, it has been granted to 2.75 million people. Pre-settled status - on offer to anyone who had been in the UK for less than five years by the end of 2020. As of 31 May, it has been granted to 2.28 million. They can apply for settled status in future, but there is no guarantee they will get it. |

www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-57595913Mobile operator EE will charge new UK customers extra to use their mobile phones in Europe from January. ----- Project fear was right again. Can't believe it, even though all those corporations said they wouldn't do it. If we can't trust the money grabbing corporations, then who can we trust?

Can’t find any info on this but if it’s a win that’s great . First one ? TheThinWhiteDuke Avatar TheThinWhiteDuke about an hour ago Quote Another small victory for the UK. We've been able to reverse the barmpot EU's punitive tax on new motorhomes which saw them being taxed in the same way as private cars. Little bit of control taken back there, and Elddis, a UK motorhome manufacturer are delighted, they now have a full order book. Found this , wtf has it gotta do with the EU ? What am I missing? www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/politics/success-campaign-bring-down-road-tax-motorhomes-and-campervans-2447336?amp |

This means that from 1 September 2019 all motorhomes in M1SP (special category) will be taxed based on their emissions – this can be up to £2,135 for the first year for the most polluting vehicles (and £140/year thereafter). This will affect new vehicle registrations from that point on, and not older vehicles already registered. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-8639/ |
