UK to leave EU

[rado84]

Your thoughts?

I don't really care. Except for the part where the GBP becomes cheaper in my country after the Brexit happens thus making shopping from UK a lot cheaper.

More than a thousand Brits have applied for Swedish passports since the Brexit vote, but they may face waits of over a year for citizenship.

A total of 1,082 British nationals applied for Swedish citizenship between the Brexit referendum on June 23rd and December 12th, according to figures provided by the Migration Agency to The Local, more than twice as many as last year.

Of those, 507 Brits have had their applications approved, 14 have had theirs rejected and eight applications have been written off for other reasons. This leaves in total 553 people who are still waiting to find out whether or not they may become Swedish citizens, and some of them may have to wait over a year.

Leave Britain to the British alone? It is funny but also sad.

We could easily get another referendum if Nicola Sturgeon bitches and moans about it enough, and if Westminster allow it. I intend to vote to remain in the UK if another one happens.

Don't you want to take your country back?

A Labour MP has claimed that it is "highly probable" that Vladimir Putin’s Russia interfered in the UK’s Brexit referendum.

Ben Bradshaw said Moscow’s likely interference in the vote would fit a pattern of meddling in other nations’ affairs, following the CIA’s accusation that Russian hackers tried to influence the recent US elections.

Speaking in the Commons debate on Aleppo, Mr Bradshaw also claimed that the huge flows of migrants into Europe had been deliberately encouraged by Russia to destabilise the EU.

Brexit does not need to resemble Nigel Farage’s idea of leaving the European Union, Ukip’s sole MP has said. Douglas Carswell also praised Gina Miller, the woman at the centre of the supreme court case to prevent Theresa May triggering article 50 without parliamentary approval.

The MP for Clacton told at a Guardian Politics Live event in Kings Cross on Tuesday night: “Brexit does not mean Nigel Farage’s vision of Brexit.”

Appearing on a panel with Miller and Emily Thornberry, the shadow foreign secretary, Carswell appealed for what he described as a “new national consensus”.

“We need to try to draw people together. The referendum was quite divisive … [but] the poll was actually relatively close,” he said. “I’ve argued consistently that that means no one has carte blanche to rewrite things the way they want to rewrite them.”

The MP, who triggered a byelection in 2014 when he decided to leave the Tories, also said he did not want to live in a country where calls were made encouraging people to march on the supreme court. The supreme court’s 11 judges are deciding whether the government has the right to trigger article 50 without a vote in the Commons after ministers appealed against the high court’s ruling.

Carswell said: “I admire Gina for what she is going. It takes a certain something to put your head above the parapet on an issue like this.” He also said Theresa May was doing a “pretty good job … so far, so good”.
