Article 50 trigger 29th March

"Now that the divorce papers have been filed, can we children choose which parent we would like to live with"

Letter in Guardian

EU are going to give us the right to have EU passports, whitewave, so we should be able to choose.

MaizieD you should be ashamed of yourself for those comments 08.31.36
You say and I am sure that all you Leavers will be full of glee when people are killed in Europe as the result of a terrorist incident etc etc.
Think about it before posting next time!

Yes ww am sure that anyone who wants to can go and live in Europe ( if you have the skills to offer them.)

Many EU countries will also welcome retired people ( as long as you have the cash to support yourself).

rose I think maizie was speaking ironically. Does that help you understand what she was saying?

rose I merely repeated an opinion to show what others are thinking.

There is a lot more than just going to live in Europe*Roses*. Just as EU citizens are worried about the position they will be in once the Brexit takes place it is the same for UK citizens in EUrope.

whitewave very generous thought, but what kind of mind would think that, assume that someone would else would think that, then put it in print?
It is quite shocking, ironic or not.

Irony is often used to shock.

No, it was just plain nasty, not put in an ironic way.

By golly, this has all brought out the worst in people hasn't it.

ww I would prefer maizie to answer for herself, as it was a pretty horrible thing to put on the thread ( the use of irony doesn't mean you can put anything you like on here) and it was directed at 'all you Leavers' which means on Gransnet.

Jalima yes, it certainly has done, the rhetoric has got nastier every day.

As you wish.

No irony in vile comments. Disgusting!

Blimey what a lot of wilting violets there are on GN. Do show some gumption.

Just looked back to see what Mazie had said and first found the posting with the graph. No one was interested in the EU because there was no point. We were stuck with it. Like a ball and chain it was just something that was there to be moaned about. Then came the referendum and the chance of freedom!

As to the second posting. Words fail me..

ww because Maizie shares your own political views you defend her post.That says a lot.

MaizieD In which case it might make the eu look at their own security, after all they seem to have taken their eye off the ball in the past couple of years. Bit too late now, the skills we have in this field take eons to build up. They know they need us on this score.

Don't be silly rose. You are adding 2+2 and making 5 I merely explained what I thought maizie had done in her post.

Nothing silly about it at all ( though I can understand you wanting to distance yourself from those comments.)
Hopefully, there will be no more posts along those lines.

It is interesting though if you actually analyse what it would mean if Britain refused cooperation in security with the EU.

I think it is highly likely that the very scenario that maizie outlined could well occur, if it is true that our security is second to none and we withheld the information. Although we would of course never know that we had done so.

I am sure that all you Leavers will be full of glee when people are killed in Europe as the result of a terrorist incident...

You actually believe that's a likely scenario do you whitewave? What a horrible, nasty way to think...

That will never happen, we are part of Europe and terrorism is a huge threat to all.

ww because Maizie shares your own political views you defend her post. That says a lot.

That is just ridiculous Roses. Of course we all agree with people who share our views. You have a little group who will always support you. I have to admit I don't think the leavers will be full of glee but I do think they will go back to their standard complaining and blaming everyone but themselves.
