This must be emphasised to Leave voters complaining about the 90 days maximum stay in the EU out of every 6 months period. THIS WAS THE CHOICE OF THE UK GOVERNMENT. IT DOESN'T WANT YOU IN THE EU.
The UK refused to include a chapter on mobility in the FTA, or any provision aimed at facilitating short-term visits or long-term stays. The only exception relates to the temporary movement of natural persons for BUSINESS purposes.
As a result, the FTA does not cover the right to enter (with or without visa), work, reside or stay of EU citizens in the UK or of UK nationals in the EU.HMG doesn't give a dam about retirees with flats in the EU or those planning for it. It wants to cut us off from the continent
Here it is.
The same evident desire to cut the ties of British citizens with the EU is at work in the UK'S decision to withdraw from Erasmus https://twitter.com/richardzybert/status/1343088312400179202?s=19
And again the same nasty streak in the UK's VAT decision to oblige British retirees with sailing boats in the EU (often modest retirees) to repatriate them in the UK before year end (with a 1 year grace for those who bouger their boat in the UK.).
Nationalism is ugly. No doubt plenty of other examples will be revealed. https://twitter.com/paullewismoney/status/1343136111460290560?s=19
