Here you go, for all you whinging Remoaners whining about "What tangible benefits will we get from Brexit?" - a predicted surge in dogging

https://www.kentonline.co.uk/dover/news/brexit-will-spark-rise-in-dogging-213622/

“Do Europeans even do dogging?" [the minister] added. "There is something deeply British about dogging.”

Ah, makes you proud to be a Brit! Blue passports, two World Wars and one World Cup, and now undisputed global supremacy in dogging!

So in short people who were furious when others suggested they did not know what they are voting for are now furious about something that they didn't know about when they explicitly voted for it to happen.

Have I got that right?

Not quite. Because they did know about it, lots of people told them, they just preferred to believe Johnson and Gove's lies that this wouldn't happen

It is ridiculous, though. Under the new rules any Brit can only spend 90 in any 180 days in another EU country. Anyone from an EU country can spend the entire 180 days in the UK. Rules should be the same.

Did Johnson, Gove et al ever actually say it wouldn’t happen though?

Either way, this is the will of the people.

They're not new rules. These have always been the rules for 3rd party countries which we now will be

Yes. They said the Vienna convention would prevent this happening, but it only protects property not rights of residence

does this stuff up your current arrangements Audrey, or do you have some kind of residency thing?

feel for ex-pats, many of which (15+ years abroad) could not even vote in the brexit referendum

From the FT again.

I hope Audrey is alright, thankfully my old man is back from France now and thus not caught up in all this, albeit it will make their property in France worth even less (what is less of worthless I don't know) and I imagine bugger up the tenant they have in the place at the moment.

Yet there were literally thousands of ex pats saying until quite recently what a great thing Brexit was so my sympathy is limited to those who voted against or were unable to vote,
