Are you scared

I suppose there is a limit to the amount of pregnant horse urine that can be collected

Perhaps all the patriotic UK owners of pregnant mares should be exhorted to collect their mares' urine for the nation's menopausal women... Like they got children to collect rosehips in WW2...

Just been to see young friends in France who recently got married and had a gorgeous baby boy 3 months ago. He has a EU passport, she UK, her 10 year old from previous relationship a Swiss one. For reasons totally beyond their control, they both lost their jobs recently - and they are worried sick about the future. She thinks No Deal will happen, and will put them in an extremely difficult situation. She is worried sick about her mother, in her 70s and not very well at all- and that she won't be able to get the medicines she needs, and might not be treated if her recent condition is cancer related.

Hysterical I've been told so many times - but some of you have NO idea what families are going through- especially mixed families, who are living in the EU now. Another young friend was tragically widowed a couple of years ago, whilst her OH was still working in the UK preparing the final move to France. She has two children, one of whom has a severe condition which is expensive to treat- and she herself had cancer and long painful treatment a few years back and has no idea if and when it might recur. And she has NO idea what will happen. And there are 1000 more cases, all very complicated, involving all sorts of illnesses and handicaps that were not 'expected' before making the move. It is heart breaking.

So I'm afraid, HRT shortage is the least of most people's worries.

HRT is generally made from synthetic hormones, not horses urine, these days. Mine certainly is.

I certainly agree that the British Citizens living in the EU have been very shabbily treated, and that no one seems to care, in particular about their health cover. I'm not logically correct about this but I do feel it is not fair that those of my friends and colleagues who have managed to find an Irish Grandparent are now sitting pretty with dual nationality whereas those of us whose grandmothers/fathers married the boy next door are now stuck here unless we are able to get through some other hoops.

and what really really is more than unfair- is that I know some people, both in the UK and who live in the EU- who voted for Brexit - and then made a beeline for that Irish passport, having had no interest in their Irish roots previously

Isn’t it up to the EU countries to reassure the million or so U.K. residents living over there?

The U.K. have reassured the 3 million E.U. residents over here who just have to apply on line. My friend did it recently - it took 10 minutes!

Rise in EU citizens not getting UK settled status causes alarm.

Proportion being granted pre-settled status – with fewer rights – has risen to 42%

A sharp rise in the proportion of EU citizens not considered eligible for settled status has caused alarm among campaign groups as the rush to secure the right to stay in the country gathers pace ahead of a possible no-deal Brexit.

The settled status scheme has been running since March for EU nationals living in the UK to establish their permanent right to live in the UK. In his first House of Commons speech Boris Johnson emphasised that applicants could expect “absolute certainty for the right to live and remain” and said: “I repeat unequivocally our guarantee to the 3.2 million EU nationals now living and working among us.”

'Isn’t it up to the EU countries to reassure the million or so U.K. residents living over there?'

no, why should it be?

does he know he will go blind and have feet, then to lower knee, then up some more, amputated. Won't be an easy death.

But it is his choice, I suppose. How would he feel if it was his daughter, or granchild, who was insulin dependent diabetic though.

Many comments on FB and Twitter do say what I said earlier. If you vote for it- you should be the first to go without- and don't you dare take it away from my children and grand-children

From Metro today:

Leading cancer charities have expressed their alarm that a no-deal Brexit could have a grave impact on ‘lifesaving research’ to treat childhood cancers. It comes after the publication of the government’s Yellowhammer papers, which warned that medicines would be ‘particularly vulnerable to severe delays’ in the event of Britain crashing out of the EU without a deal. The documents also highlighted that ‘three-quarters of medicines’ come from the EU. Cancer charities are now calling on the government to take steps to ensure the ‘supply of medicines and lifesaving research’ which are so vital to treating children’s cancers, are not harmed by a no-deal Brexit, after Boris Johnson reaffirmed his commitment to leaving the EU with or without a deal on October 31. Cancer research UK says that more than a quarter of the clinical trials that it funds involved at least one other EU country, which are ‘particularly important for rare and children’s cancers’. The charity’s head of policy, Emlyn Samuel, told Metro.co.uk: ‘It’s imperative that a “no-deal” Brexit does not disrupt the supply of medicines and medicinal products to the UK, or threaten vital international research collaboration. ‘More than a quarter of the clinical trials that Cancer Research UK funds involve at least one other EU country, and these are particularly important for rare and children’s cancers.
