Or 2012, if the Tories get their way on the dates.

That would include me.
But it won't actually, cause it that's the case I'll be leaving and go pay my hefty taxes somewhere else.

The top comment out of 1.3k comments from the Mail Online (now I know they are in no way related to the Daily Mail it's important to make that clear), on the article 'Theresa May tells 3.2 million EU nationals they can stay in the UK for the rest of their lives...'
What was the bloody point of the referendum then!!! Jesus Christ.

Did you forget about the hordes of immigrants poster and the colour of the people in that poster?
We can lie to ourselves that people hates Poles too, but when it comes down to it, the majority will accept white poles over anyone brown.
From the guardian:
"EU citizens already in the UK and those who arrive lawfully during a subsequent grace period expected to be up to two years will be given the opportunity to build up five years worth of residence. The grace period could start at any point up to the date of Brexit and would allow EU citizens time to regularise their status."
On TV reporters were interpreting this as you will have two years after a certain cutting point to complete the 5 year time for residence. If the cutting point is made to be around now, that would mean you will have to have arrived in 2014 or before.

Also EU citizens already have the faculty to acquire permanent residence after 5 years of stay, so what's the offer exactly?
Opening position or not, this is just insulting, I might just fuck off regardless, this country has become a joke.
Daily Mail readers are equal opportunity racists imo.
They hate everyone not exactly like themselves...
They hate themselves actually more I think about itlol.

It'd be fascinating to sit through a therapy session with a lifelong DM reader. How they view the world and how they rationalise and internally justify their hatred of everyone.
They do know immigration from outside of Europe will INCREASE when we leave the EU right?
What complete and utter morons.
But that means more brown people! That isn't what we voted for!

Some people think the EU is forcing the UK to take on millions of refugees and brown people against their wills.
The status of EEA citizens cannot change until the UK has withdrawn from the EU that will not be before 2019. What the offer sounds like is you will get 2 extra years after withdrawal to complete your 5 year residence in the UK to gain permanent residence. So let's say 2021. So essentially if you've been staying in the UK before 2017 you would be allowed to qualify for permanent residence.
If the cutoff year is set to 2014 then that means that Romanians and Bulgarians will retroactively have no freedom of movement at all in UK (because the 7 years temporary restriction after joining). I'm curious how would that work with those governments.
Plus, why punish all EU citizens who came there based on a set of rules.
The logical cutoff would be the Brexit vote date.
Edit: Theonik makes a good point though.

I did the tour at Electric mountain, was quite interesting learning about pumped / grav fed hydro.
Yeah, years ago we did a school trip to Turlough Hill Power Station It was pretty impressive.
These things and renewables should go hand in hand IMO.
EDIT lol sorry complete wrong thread!!

They do. That and heat storage are used to store renewable energy but it's a difficult issue only starting to get viable solutions recently.

In other news, the Mail continue to be despicable cunts:
But laughing at the 'Get a brain morans' guy is ok because... he's republican / Trump supporter?
I never said it was.

You need to go and read up on that guy and what he was protesting.

People who write signs but spell them incorrectly are always funny, sorry.
Um, no? The "get a brain morans" guy is funny because he's trying to insult people on their intelligence whilst revealing he's an idiot with his sign. It's the juxtaposition of his intended statement and inadvertantly revealed stupidity that makes it funny. It's a classic staple of comedy.
Those signs are people misspelling things whilst protesting about the tragic, preventable deaths of at least 79 people in a towering inferno. That's a completely different context - do you really think mocking those involved in protesting over so many deaths because they misspell a sign is a good idea?
Context. One is funny because he misspelt morons, the other isn't because it's about people burnt to death possibly as a direct result of Tory policies.
And especially when that rag of a paper should be lambasting the government on the policy not being a shitheel to those protesting.
The spelling doesn't take away from the points the people in the DM examples are making
That's not true for the other guy - he's just calling people dumb while also failing at basic spelling.
So yeah, laughing is fine in this case
Those signs where not complaining about other people's intelligence like the moran guy.

Dec from Ant and Dec is Prime Minister now.
I read somewhere this morning that only people arriving after March 2017 or 2019 (up in the air which one) would have to fiddle with visas.
I can't find that link now though. It was a reputable source IIRC.
More details will be published on Monday. It's all subject to negotiation anyway...

You really don't need to say "from Ant and Dec" to a superfan like me, Crab.
The Chuckle Brothers are Minister for Brexit and Secretary for International Trade respectively.

In addition they are trying to infer that people on social housing are stupid and so deserve their circumstances.
To me, to you.
I'd take that over what we have. The Chuckle Brothers are awesome.

That actually works perfectly, assuming the Brexit one is the "to me" one and the trade one is "to you".

I understand that laughing at mispellings at a Grenfell protest is obviously just wrong, the reason I highlighted the morans guy is that he is reflective of how many people here in Europe generally view Trump supporters, and this should give us pause to contemplate how it must feel for them to be condescendingly treated.
I don't want to derail further so I'll rather update my previous list now:
On top of that, Tusk said now that he dreams that Brexit is reversible.

Another leader on the right, then.

So wait, I've lost track, are we happy that the government's working with the EU or sad that they've caved? Should DD be sticking to his guns, pulling down his trousers and showing Tusk what he's got? (A brave manoeuvre against a man named "Tusk", no doubt).
Why are you quoting me? I didn't say anything about the Trump guy.
