Glad that now all the people I know living abroud are helping the economies of other countries.
The xenophobic countries should not be rewarded with workforce.
“Speaking to Euronews, Professor Nando Sigona, principal investigator and research leader for The UK in a Changing Europe initiative, pointed out that the UK had been in the EU for 40 years.”
What an odd paragraph. Is that the result of his extensive investigations? I wonder what other secrets he’s unearthed.
EU citizen living in the UK here.

It hs changed nothing for me except the eurostar queue.

>One French woman even cited insufficient support from her British husband as she protested against Brexit as the reason she left him, returning to France.
“He voted remain but like so many others, they just think, ‘I’ve done my job, I ticked the right box and then they washed their hands of the thing after that’,” she said. “They just don’t do anything and don’t want to hear about it.”
Actually this man is right and they lady is a wanna be yellow jacket. Typical french
Notwithstanding the situations described in the article where EU citizens had been [personally] abused which is terrible, i do take issue with the quotes below:
>”Once the referendum happened, I think it was very obvious to us that we were going to leave. We both feel very strongly European and we had no plans to settle outside the EU in the long term.”
So you left because you were disappointed to find out you were living an Britain and not EUrope? Lol. Feeling agreived because other people did not match up to your socio-cultural standards is not something I feel obliged to care about.
>”One French woman even cited insufficient support from her British husband as she protested against Brexit as the reason she left him, returning to France. He voted remain but like so many others, they just think, ‘I’ve done my job'”
So you left because your husband did not match [your] political persuasion with sufficient zeal, objecting to the fact that he followed the basic tenet of representative democracy – the losers consent to accept the governance determined by the winning majority? Lol. Husband had a lucky escape.
Honestly Britain was going to shit before Brexit, Brexit was just the straw that broke the camels back. I had two teens in secondary school during the 2010s, definitely the worst administrated place I’ve ever witnessed. In my home country of Austria, this school would have been shut down.
I mean, my kid reports back to me that kids are fighting on the bus, burning people’s pens under flames in science class, a lot of bullying, some violence. When i tried to raise my concerns with the school, I was spouted BS responses and if became very apparent no one cared and no one was going to even try solve these issues. Then there was the parents, a whole different story in itself. Don’t get me wrong, there were a lot of competent and well meaning people around, but overall the system was just not working
Most of those who moved out are happier.
French and Italians got great deals as returnees on taxes.
Worked out OK for UK people already living legally in the EU. It stopped all the chancers, criminals and conmen coming over. Which has helped our awful reputation overall. Areas that were total English enclaves have been filtered now with Germans, Swedes, Danes etc, making them much nicer places to live. Property prices have risen, taxes now being paid by everyone, so things get fixed and built etc. It was amazing how many brits left after brexit, as they weren’t legally living here at all.
Overall, apart from not being able to move to any other EU country (without buying residency), it’s been positive I think, for me at least. It was all very organised in Spain surprisingly, I paid €10 just to swap my crappy old residency paper for an ID card. That was it. Didn’t even need legally to even do that but it makes life easier.
I couldn’t vote in the referendum as my original UK county decided to send me the ballot 2 days before It was due back. Almost like they didn’t want us EU based brits to vote…
Most of these read like just moaning for no reason. There is one Pole who talked about facing discrimination but there was sentiment against them even before. It’s quite possible that discrimination went up after the Brexit result and that would be a concern.

I guess my fellow Romanians trying to live in such a xenophobic country also had bad experiences.
No wonder the country also had a tv show for scaremongering:

The rest are just complaining about nothing.
