Idiot son calls me while on the Eurostar. He met a beautiful woman on the train who was visiting UK for the first time. He’s ecstatic about his “new girlfriend”. Truly in love.
They’re planning to move in together and live “happily ever after” in the UK

I advised him that post-Brexit there will be reestrictons on free movement for EU citizens in the UK. He sounds outraged.

Idiot son: “But we took back control - I can choose whom to take back home with me”
I try to explain that removing EU citizen’s free movement was a core part of Brexit
He sounds furious. Asks to add this item on the agenda ahead of the meeting with our French Mayor

Apparently he sees this as a bargaining chip
The French offer residency to his parenrs, UK offers residency to girlfriend
Win-win situation
I try to explain that’s how the EU works - but the UK has left. He is too excited to listen

Another call from idiot son
The EU seems to be “after his parents and his love life”. Brussels playing dirty
Plus, his Brexit special edition 50p coin is not accepted in France
“EU are such bad losers”

Idiot son told by lawyer that this is certainly not the French Mayor’s responsibility and it would be up to the UK to decide whether they would allow EU citizens to live in the UK
Asks to find out who the local mayor is back in the UK. Finds out she’s a Remainer. Urgh. No way she will side with a Brexiteer’s request to grant his EU girlfriend free movement
#idiotson #archer_rs

This is getting complicated: Turns out EU girlfriend holds a Belgian passport.
Idiot son demands that we involve the mayor of her local town as well.
Sigh.

Another call. He is asking whether his relationship with the EU girlfriend would be considered as “sleeping with the enemy”. After all, the EU is after his parents

Shocking development: The very polite lady does not share the view that she is idiot son’s girlfriend
She was just sitting next to him and found him rather “amusing”. After all, he is a man of various talents
How do I break the news? He sounds so happy

Ok time to share the bad news. Wish me luck. I probably won’t even get my half-empty HP sauce bottle
Thanks to all of you who were worried about whether I would get my half-empty HP sauce. Pleased to announce that sauce is safe for the time being.
Apparently I am just jealous of his relationship. Looks like his “girlfriend” finds this entertaining and is playing along

I very much hope so. Tomorrow is the big day!

Meeting postponed for Saturday to our huge dismay and to the son’s great relief
Mayor agrees to make a one-off exception to hold a Saturday meeting, which brings hope that a similar exception will apply to his parents’ status after Brexit

He has some cheeky ideas in response to the idiot son’s demand that officials from Brussels local authority join the meeting

Texts me 3 “trick questions” he will ask his “girlfriend” to see if she is on “our side”.
1) What do you think of Nigel Farage 2) What colour will our new passports be
3) Who won the 1966 world cup
“2/3 wrong would raise suspicion”.
I wouldn’t dare ask how.

Final call from son wishing me goodnight. They are in separate rooms in the hotel. He’s been drinking and is emotional - afraid he might lose his one and only because of the EU. I reassured him that is they are truly in love they will figure it out. Sounds relieved. So am I.

Another friend will be one of the 19 Brussels municipalities’ mayor
Everyone laughing their heads off here. But we need to get on with the preparations
How are we going to keep a straight face later?

OK this is one of Brussels’ 19 mayors, but he only recently found out that Brussels is also a city, apart from the name of the “dictators who want to push Britain around” so I’ll just refer to the mayor as “Brussels Mayor”. Will save me a lot of time explaining

Some are involved in the welcome preparations and others are shopping, while bistros and cafés are full of people
