I lived in France for four years when working at Airbus. Learned that the majority of ex pats are ignorant shirts and have NO interest in integrating but I learned to appreciate France and her people, when in Rome etc, I completly agree with your comments re France the French and Europe and it's people.
I always find it strange when people live abroad they are not willing to learn the language.It is so more enjoyable if you can have a good swearing session with your continental buddies.One would hope the EU will now offer a similar set-up for Brits living in the EU.
"Theresa May has played her opening gambit of Brexit negotiations, telling European leaders she will offer some three million EU citizens a new ‘settled status’ allowing them to stay in Britain if they have lived here five years.
People gaining it would secure rights on healthcare, education and benefits broadly similar to those enjoyed by EU citizens in the UK now."

It's fairly nuanced with gists rather than outright promises. hinting we weant the same for our people! (and theres an argument for 1 for 1 not 1 to 3) And it seems we'll be backdating it to stop the being a even bigger wave coming.

From reading between the lines on that article, it seems that Merkels still the block to most sensibleness. I wonder if post German elections (October?) she'll change her tune or potentially be unemployed.
I've said it before, voted Leave. If we bin right to free movement forever! Stay out of the Euro, we can stay in afaic. the softest of soft. Again Merkel is the stumbling block
But....
I felt it would be wrong for me to vote as I no longer live in the UK. I have found no evidence pointing to a long term survival of the EU and feel that the Brexit will possibly hurt the UK for a few years yet the UK will have a head start on other countries that leave in the not to distant future, by the time the EU crumbles I expect the UK to be running ok on its own and other countries that remained in the EU until its collapse having to make a difficult fresh start similar to what the UK is doing now
I was very happy with the result of the Brexit vote although it could possibly create me massive problems in the future, wishing for a remain in vote so that I would have security for the future would not be the way forward. Many people have voted for Brexit although the result could have a bad affect on their futures, I admire these people for their broader outlook than of those that voted for themselves alone
Should the Brexit cause me and others that have left the UK much grief, all I can state is that it's tough on us

Well it's not good enough apparently.

Their angle is that we don't have the same human rights as the people in the EU therefore to use OUR domestic model is worse.
FFS! I presume this is the EU's strategy. To try and do us down and point out we are inferior to the EU. If we are so inferior that we are behind on human rights, why do they say they want us ti stay?
FWIW that is Tusk, (and the commission) and as above, several other countries are OK with it.

If the rights May are offering are considered crap by the EU, it suggests what Brits might get from the EU are also crap. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2017/jun...

The EU are probably doing the citizens of the UK that live abroad a favour - whilst they are being let down by their own country. So much for the state protecting its citizens abroad, hiw did we sink this low, May is so weak and feeble, scared of Faragistas it seems.

I'm a remainer but even so, if what we offer forign people after the divorce isn't as good as they could get elsewhere, they will be free to move back. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2017/jun...

However I suspect that the reality is they will stay here because frankly this is better than what they have to go back to.
