Your children may eventually see some change, though even that is debatable.<br />Whether you are a brexiteer or a remoaner matters not, this prediction is made based on the inertia of yUK government, they are just not capable of decisive action.

In voting to leave that is what I am rejecting. I never asked for their "citizenship" in the first place (did you?)<br /><br />Whatever trade deals or arrangements we may make in the future, I doubt very much if citizenship of any other country or group of countries would even be discussed. You may want to ask yourself why it's needed in the EU. What do you think is the eventual intention regarding national citizenships? <br /><br />Citizenship requires some legal and political entity and that entity surely can lay a claim on you for all sorts of things. For example, as a British citizen you can be called up for military service. Could I (rhetorical question I'm pushing 60) be called up to serve in the "EU army" that prior to the referendum was - according to "Sir" Nick Clegg - a fantasy? And if had dual US citizenship, the IRS would take a definite interest in my financial afffairs. If you apply for "EU citizenship", could you get a tax bill in future from the single fiscal entity required for the single currency? (Don't see why not. With rights go responsibilites surely) <br /><br />Nobody is going to force you out of your job, make you live in a ghetto or wear a yellow star. These are the sort of things real fascists do. Neither are we a "mob". As I said, if you really do want EU "citizenship" I'm you can apply for it.<br /><br />General question for anybody who may know. Is it possible to formally renounce EU "citizenship".<br />Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-59089696393021826082018-01-21T21:10:24.852+00:002018-01-21T21:10:24.852+00:00I still think Brexit isn't going to happen.

I assume you placed little (if any) value on your EU citizenship? ( Forgive me if I do you an injustice there and you are actually 'sacrificing' your EU Citizenship for the great good as you see it). <br /><br />I however place great value on mine, as much as I place on my British Citizenship-perhaps even more so. I object to the Mob deciding that because they don't value theirs , mine may be removed. The moment you start the involuntary removal of citizenship from anyone you place yourself squarely with all the other totalitarians (shorthand 'fascist').
