The % of fishing in the scheme of things is minute - £60m per year they’re arguing about.
Just cough it up. It’s a pittance.

Johnson and Gove have that covered, they're investing billions in a new fish-powered National Grid that one of Matt Hancock's horseracing chums has just converted his pest control company to creating (current assets £100)

let's not forget Farage kids will have German passports, and he has a German wife.
makes sense for visiting family. But let's not pretend we are better off when traveling shall we

Not saying I like him but I have no problem with Stanley Johnson applying for French nationality. He's 1/4 French by blood and even 1/2 French if you take his mother's place of birth into account. He is of course luckier than most of the 48% who joined him in voting Remain who have had their EU citizenship taken away by his odious child. The thought that Boris might one day acquire EU citizenship if his father became a French national would be repugnant. He could be told to wait till Turkey joined the EU as he predicted!

I'm 1/4 Irish I could get an Irish passport, but it would be of no benefit to the kids as they can't qualify as I wasn't a citizen at their birth 😢
fair enough really, I've not even been to Ireland.
O'Batch.
I've got a German grandmother, but their criteria is even more stringent
so, and rather aptly, no heir batch.. ---- Johnson is doing it out of convenience for himself, nothing more. he did at least vote remain though and I'd do the same is their was any point

My great grandmother was Irish (so does that make me 1/8 Irish?). Would I fall into the same category as your kids? My 0.2% Viking doesn't help me either

You have to have an Irish grandparent (at least) to qualify for Irish citizenship.
One thing I did discover when I checked - if one of your parents was born anywhere in Ireland (including the North) then you are automatically an Irish citizen by birth.

Buyers Remorse... That's only going to be a temporary thing, won't be any different to signing ROW players in due course.

Course he did, just like this guy. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/people/whitby-fisherman-says-crews-will-be-worse-2021-they-left-eu-3080831 On the player front I cannot imagine it will make a huge difference at our level (albeit buggering up the occasional punt), but I can imagine its going to fuck up a lot of those at the middle/bottom of the Prem and Championship who like to buy non international players from the EU. You have to have an Irish grandparent (at least) to qualify for Irish citizenship.

Been through it all, my ancestors never leaving Berkshire/Wiltshire/Oxfordshire have really let me down.

Its not different to signing ROW players now, they are going to need a work permit which is where Sam has been falling over. The criteria to sign players is based on a points system which considers the number of senior and youth international appearances, club appearances as well as the quality of the selling club, its league position and the league itself.The only change is EU is now ROW, it will also cut off the much loved route of our South American friends of discovering a little know Italian grandparent.
