Welsh come on boardMr Price added there could be "new freedoms and flexibilities" for Wales as a result of Brexit. "There's no point in us now rehearsing arguments of the past," Mr Price said.At least he's not as thick as 2 short plonks.

They used to say how wonderful Brexit was going to be...they didn't use conditionals then. Wonder what changed.

Brexit could be a resounding success. Nothing's changed. Edit: Why are you so worried based in Munich? Scared the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern will bump up your taxes to cover the shortfall?

That should have applied to Parliment from the moment the result of the referendum was called We would be in a better position now We will make it work. Little by little people will have to jump on board because the inevitable is now the definite. It was the failure to implement it earlier which caused the problems. And lots of MPs paid for it with their jobs

Scared the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern will bump up your taxes to cover the shortfall? They're two different modal verbs. "Will" (in the present tense) indicates certainty. "Could" indicates a degree of likelihood. A lot has changed. The internet is replete with articles comparing Brexit promises to the reality of the present situation. As for me, well I should be OK although there'll be some administrative hoops to jump through starting next week - hopefully nothing like the shite the EU27 citizens in the UK have to deal with in their quest for settled status. As for the Finanzamt? Who knows?

As for the Finanzamt? Who knows? Pleased it looks reasonably OK on a personal level for you. I only know of 1 EU national personally who resides in the UK (has done for 30+ years). She applied for settled status last year and it took about a week, no problems. Strangely, being from the Netherlands it was more bother renewing her passport requiring a personal application at the Dutch embassy in London. Dunno if that's the norm or if there was something unique this time around that it couldn't be done online as in the past? Serves her right for voting leave

Ian Dunt is one of the hosts of the Remainiacs podcast. Quelle surprise. Shouldn't that Dunt with a C , Gina Millers gone quiet maybe she's changed her mind It’s funny, but a group of us were out the other night (a mix of leavers and remain) and we had our usual debate around Brexit. The question was why had it gone so quiet with Brexit comparatively....and then it dawned on us....all the noise, all the whining, all the doom and gloom had been coming from Remain and now they had finally been stuffed, the noise had died down. Even the Remainers amongst us accepted the hullabaloo had been Remain based and the losers were now silent. Silence is golden.

Even the Remainers amongst us accepted the hullabaloo had been Remain based and the losers were now silent. Silence is golden. XC the result of the referendum should have been implemented as soon as possible after the referendum. The issue quickly became a democratic question as much as it was about Brexit. This would have given the " certainty" that people said that business needed. Of course May did not genuinely want to deliver Brexit. Also , we have wasted three years. As well as what you say about silence I also detect that some people are beginning to realise that we have not been operating properly as a free independent sovereign country for many years and it seems strange and different....and empowering to start to do so. Of course there are many hurdles and obstacles ahead, as well as opportunities, which every country faces in these challenging times.

Don’t talk such b%!!%#&$, Even though Brexit is nearly done, the rabid swivel-eyed gammon boomers haven’t shut up about it(although I suspect they doth protest too much & there maybe some buyers remorse)1139 pages on this thread & political grandstanding on any number of others, proves you wrong...

Brexit derangement syndrome. they seem to forget we had one when we went into the EEC, the 50p with the 9 hands on it, but that was OK for people who didn't want to join, just accept it at the time.

You've got to laugh: - Only this week, in an extraordinary judgment about a case that symbolises the mess Italy is in, an Italian court sided with a portly policeman who had been caught on film in 2015, clocking on for work in his underwear. The case was brought as part of a crackdown on skiving officialdom, but the policeman, who lived in a flat above the station, successfully argued that actually putting on his uniform was part of his working day.

Maybe but as far as I can see totally untrue/out of context. As far as I can tell this isn't in any of the german press (not even the Bild newspaper!!). Alexander von Schoenburg is also a freelance journalist and it looks like he's been paid to write what The Mail have asked him to write. Generally the germans are concerned about a recession, but none of them fears or is envious of Britain leaving the EU - in reality they just think we're mad.

It’s not only the Germans that think us mad. Anyroad, We’ve voted to shoot ourselves in the face & all that’s to do now is watch us do it. Never seen anyone do it before as I don’t like that sort of thing, but hey, what can you do...

A conflation of anecdotes, opinions and unsupported claims from an "editor" of Germany's equivalent of The Sun, in a pro-Brexit paper. In short, everything good about Britain at the moment is because of Brexit, and everything bad about europe is because of EU bureaucracy. Yeah Right. (I wonder how you say "sunlit uplands" in German? Sonnenbeschienene hochländer!) The only reliable bit of information appears in the last sentence in the last of the comments: "We all like to think we know everything that's about to happen in the future, but the truth is we don't know what's around the corner." Anyway, I'm off to exercise my freedom of movement for the last time as an EU citizen. In the meantime: Partly because of BrexitNobody really knows.
