Having spent the evening at the embassy in Berlin I can safely say that the government has no idea about how to solve the problem of the UK citizens in the EU. They have not agreed anything and it is suggested you apply for German citizenship if you can. #brexshit
If you live in the EU you can sign this petition to allow for a permanent EU citizen status to be created. Please vote eci.ec.europa.eu/002/public/#/i…

My family and I are not eligible for German citizenship as we have not been here long enough so basically next year we will see what our options are.

50 simple chunks of reality to help MPs in these difficult times.

1. The Withdrawal Agreement (WA) is not up for renegotiation
2. The Political Declaration (PD) might be tweaked cosmetically
3. The future relationship will be negotiated during the transition period
4. There will be no transition without the WA
5. The will be no WA without the Financial Settlement
6. A backstop cannot be unilaterally ended or it is not a backstop
7. There will be no WA without a backstop
8. The PD is not a deal on the future relationship
9. The PD is wish list, not binding
10. The PD leaves huge, crucial questions entirely open
11. The level of access to EU markets and programmes is dependent on the level of alignment to EU rules UKGov is willing to commit to.

Dear @theresa_may,

Thank you for your letter.

From the very first sentence to the very last, it is a tissue of revisionism, wilful misdirection, false equivalences, and downright lies.

You have a lot of bloody gall writing this to me.

That is, of course, assuming that you consider me, a UK Citizen living in the EU as qualifying as one of the addressees, one of your "nation", which I somewhat doubt.
2/
Evidence that you do has, I'm afraid to say, been scant, as has evidence that you consider EU citizens in the EU, or indeed any non UK citizen to be part of what you consider to be your nation. As I far as I am concerned though, they are. 3/

In case you're wondering: the #EU just voted to impose filters on all the text, audio, photos, videos, etc you might post. If you think this will help photographers or other creators, you don't understand filters.
First of all: pirates laugh at filters. The most sophisticated image filters in the world - those used for state censorship in China - are trivial to evade citizenlab.ca/2018/08/cant-p… Anyone whose occupation is beating filters will beat filters.
But people who are legit? Including photogs? They're FUCKED. Filters can be intentionally bypassed if you know the trick, but if you're (say) a news photog whose photo of a protest includes a bus-ad with some stock imagery, the filters will not be able to know that you're legit.

No. This is actually happening. This "scaremongering"/"project fear" narrative has to stop now. There is demonstrable proof that this and other similar things are happening on the ground (recently including CAF). Real lives impacted.

This is #Brexit reality.
It's high time for #Brexiters to grow up and understand that just because the reality of what is happening does not fit their narrative, does not mean that it is not real.

It's time to grow up and own your mistakes.

You created this. Deal with it like we have to.

#StopBrexit
What Bob here fails to comprehend is that the residence requirements for EU citizens and non-EU citizens are very different. So you could easily comply with the EU ones but not the non-EU ones.

That is very much the point.

"We must honour the wishes of the British people! We must respect democracy!" repeat the UK's leaders, ad nauseam, as their solitary defence of Brexit.

There are countless problems with this argument, but I will attempt to outline a few. /1
a) Brexit is not the wish of the people; it is the whim of 27% of the people, on a particular date more than two years ago. And it is a whim that directly contradicts the wish of an equal number of UK citizens, and many more EU citizens and UK citizens in the EU. /2
b) No one, bar a handful of ignorant xenophobes, voted to leave the EU *as an end in itself*. Most had *ulterior motives*. THESE are the wishes the government should be seeking to fulfil. It is hard to know what all these motives are, but /3
