It's shorthand for the retire to Spain or buy holiday home in Spain, don't learn the language, travel back to the UK for free healthcare, go to an "Irish" pub every friday and an English cafe for a fry up Saturday morning, make no attempt to integrate at all. There's whole villages that have popped up to sell cheap apartments to English idiots, let alone the time-sharing schemes. My family once traded a few days stay in our b&b for a week in a friends place in one of these villages, they're awful.
Those type of people, stereotype away, they've earned it. -
Except if those forrin cunts weren’t such cunts then “brits in Spain” wouldn’t have had to vote for Brexit. It’s the forrins fault, innit.

The HO is getting guidelines to allow late applications (tx to Alberto Costa a Tory with an immigrant background. Though he voted against making euss a registration with no deadline, I don't get politics...)
But how lenient they are allowed to be is not clear...

“He was, by the time he died, an Irish citizen,” Nicholas Cornwell, who writes as Nick Harkaway, says in a BBC Radio 4 documentary due to air on Saturday. “On his last birthday I gave him an Irish flag, and so one of the last photographs I have of him is him sitting wrapped in an Irish flag, grinning his head off.”
[...]
Britain’s vote to leave the EU compounded his disenchantment with Britain, he told the Irish writer John Banville in 2019. “I think Brexit is totally irrational, that it’s evidence of dismal statesmanship on our part, and lousy diplomatic performances. I think my own ties to England were hugely loosened over the last few years. And it’s a kind of liberation, if a sad kind.”

It's a worry, but if they don't sort it they will have hundreds of thousands of Brits applying for driving tests and that will overwhelm the system.
I thought if you were resident in another EU country for more than a year you had to swap for a local license? I did mine after a year; took a week from first application to getting the new license.

If the British people in question have lived in France for a year or so, that's clearly shitty on behalf of the French. If, like here, there's a shitload of Brits who couldn't be bothered and have lived in Europe for ages... well... bad luck. Given loads of countries have that reciprocal agreement, you'd assume the British government/EU could have done a deal.
Drink driving isn't an issue here apparently. That said there are an awful lot of crashes involving only one car (ending up in fields, rivers, forests, front gardens etc) late night/early morning.

Uk finally topping up horizon funding cut due to Brexit. Late but good news.

When they were living here under their EU rights, they didn't need to do any of that stuff, so you cannot blame them for not doing so. In fact the French were refusing applications after the brexit vote but before actual Brexit because their British licences were still valid. And then they wonder why they got overwhelmed afterwards! It's a shambles by a typically inept French bureaucracy and an incompetent British government.

I’d need to look up the relevant French law but when I lived in the UK the same rules existed as do here ( in that you need to change your foreign license for a local one). Having a license from
elsewhere in the EU didn’t exempt you from that. The fact that the rule was rarely, if ever, enforced doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. -
Theories so far:
Unionist paramilitary drug dealers as psni is putting the squeeze on them. (Yes there are nationalist paramilitary drug dealers too, see inla. Scum you can't avoid in poorer areas)
DUP being douchebags and stoking it by demanding head of psni resigns cos no prosecutions over SF breaking covid regulations on funerals (tiresome tribalist politics)
Unionist anger over NI sea border.
It's a holiday weekend.
Centenary of NI, not a happy event near the border, rioting in /Derry too.Serious injuries among psni and we read a rioters went on fire too. Many are really young.
The areas are low income areas, no rioting where the politicians live 🙄
Nothing good can come out if this :(

All this thanks to "oven ready brexit" and UK gov not doing any work which would enable more relaxing of rules/new mini agreements on items such as plants and trees.
UDA (drug dealing "paramilitary") were involved in Carrickfergus riots.
But brexit definitely made divisions here worse as Unionists got sold and betrayed, and "I told you so" doesn't exactly help...
