We agree that UK citizenship should be made more accessible.

However, we have several objections to @TheEconomist's article which paints a grossly unrealistic picture of the diverse EU citizen population in 🇬🇧

Let's look at a few misrepresentations...1/5
economist.com/leaders/2021/0…
Firstly, the #SettledStatus Scheme has most certainly not been 'a resounding vote of confidence in Britain’s future'!
We were forced to apply.
Not applying meant becoming illegal in our own homes.
The only other option would be to leave, which 10s of 1000s actual did.
2/5
Secondly, the article paints an unrepresentative picture of young, net-contributors who still need to put down roots and helped by citizenship would start playing a fuller part in Britain's society.
Millions of us, young AND old, already do so for many years, often decades!

British citizens in Italy are caught in a bureaucratic nightmare, unable to access services despite the #WithdrawalAgreement.

A thread with Francesca's testimony.

She writes: “We are an Italian-British family that has returned to Italy because of #Brexit.
1/10
My British husband Paul has been living in Italy since 2019. Since then, he has worked with various fixed-term contracts like any citizen of the EU.
His last contract, which began before the end of 2020, has just expired and the company has offered Paul a contract renewal.
2/10
Unfortunately, this time they requested the residence permit number without which they cannot register the contract and without which my husband cannot work.

A long thread about #immigration and #FreedomOfMovement in the light of the #Covid #vaccine.

While the UK government is now apparently ecstatic with delight to be ending Freedom of Movement, I'm thinking of Albert Bourla, (Άλμπερτ Μπουρλά) a Greek scientist and veterinarian. 1/8
Albert Bourla has lived in four different countries, joined Pfizer in 1993, and has used EU #FreedomOfMovement.

Similarly, the Turkish parents of the CEO of Biontech Uğur Şahin came to Germany when that country opened up and welcomed foreign workers "Gastarbeiter". 2/8
Obviously, the vast majority of #immigrants are not going to design vaccines that potentially can bail us out of this #corona misery.
Still, what strikes me in success stories like these is how many successful immigrants or their parents weren't exceptional when they came. 3/8

'Staying is not an option anymore.
Leaving is just as painful.'

Read Nadia's poignant account of saying good-bye to 35 years of being at home in Britain.

She's one of many who are leaving behind loved ones to find a safer, more welcoming place outside the UK.

Two days and three nights left.

Surrounded by 35 years worth of a lifetime in boxes.

I am so close to the waterworks, my eyes brim over all the time. I’ve seen friends and loved ones and I’m trying to not make it a goodbye.
2/4
I have a job and flat to go to. But my heart is heavy.

I am not even going “home” or “back to where I came from” because that was another place, which is completely
out of reach now.
