A thank you to Brexiteers.

I would interpret the absence of "debit card" on that list as a significant thing.

Wankers. Although I do have a credit card which I use about once a year for large purchases to give me better protection and which is paid off by my debit card immediately.

I guess that any system which attempted to categorically establish how someone's funds were would be ludicrously intrusive, so they've gone for more generic options.

Surely these things are all pretty theoretical unless you're a refugee or something, and the French state will have the pretext to kick you out?

Credit card has been mentioned a couple of times now - is a debit card good enough? i dont have a credit card

Proof of earnings / enough money to survive only applies here if you are applying for residency not going on holidays . When I applied for mine showed them my online banking app but they weren’t interested in any case .
There’s been a good couple of thousand of U.K. passengers arriving this week at Faro A bloke I know arrived Monday night , staying with a friend not a hotel , and aside from his passport the only thing border asked for was his covid test .

yeah surely these new rules have been in place a few months now, havent heard any horror stories (other than people coming to the UK and ending up in Yarls Fucking Wood), hopefully they'll keep it mellow at border control

Refugees are classified very differently. This is for visitors, either on a Schengen visa, or not needing one.

And yes - it's quite possible that they will not implement it, or not fully. But you've always got that bit of jeopardy.

I've done exactly that. When I can get stuff from within the EU it is now my first choice. I look at, say, amazon UK then look at the various EU based equivalent sites to buy from.

 

[MrSki]

From the article.

CSO monthly goods trade data for March shows a 46 per cent spike to more than €3.1 billion in goods imported from the EU, compared to March 2020 when trade still took place under the old regime. New “third-country” trade arrangements for the UK kicked in when the Brexit transition period ended at the beginning of this year.

The data show a corresponding slump in British imports to the Republic, which fell by almost a third to less than €1 billion.

So you're why British exports are down

I was actually told this yesterday by my goddaughter. According to her everything would be worse if he he had got in, and it is his fault for not supporting Johnson. For someone with an MA she can be rather...ill-informed...

Worth using an Amazon compare site . I got a Henry hoover from the U.K. after Brexit as it was cheaper even with delivery and got a refund of 3 euros as the import tax was overestimated . On the other hand I got 1100 pg tips from Amazon Spain as it was cheaper and got delivered within four days . Just ordered some grapefruit wheat beer from the German site .

Sadly even a doctorate doesn't make someone well informed

I'm sure someone will be along soon to explain why this is actually great news for UK businesses and workers.

I suppose she deserves some leeway. Her father was a police super, and was a sergeant during the miner's strike. So this stupidity is probably inherited from that side of her family.

Not me!

I wonder if the Daily Wail will start losing readers if it starts to post more realities of Brexit?

Oakeshott is jusr another leave voter who thought everything would be flags and money. She knew what she was voting for.

I read that Canada has informed the UK they expect the same zero, tariff/quota deal as Australia.

Not a surprise as most trade deals fall in line. We can expect any US trade deal to follow suit.
