    What a load of cope on The Gaurdian’s part, trying to blame this shit on Sweden instead of the UK.

    Examples:

    The problem centres on the Migration Agency’s apparent refusal to allow late applications from people who were not aware they had to formally apply to remain post-Brexit – a process used in only 12 other EU countries.

    Yeah, “only” more than a third of the total, so rare and weird!

    But in the post-Brexit scenario in Sweden, deportations of Britons have been ordered even when no crime is involved.

    As if Sweden shouldn’t be allowed to do that, even though the UK insisted on being considered separate and foreign.

    Part of the problem, he says, stems from the lack of communication to registered British people living in the country, causing missed deadline applications.

    He said the Sellers’ case was “yet another example of systemic failings in Sweden’s implementation of the withdrawal agreement”.

    Blaming Sweden for British immigrants’ own failures.


    Sucks for the individuals involved (which I sure hope voted against Brexit, as that’s the only thing that stops it from being a !leopardsatemyface situation), but the UK is getting exactly what it demanded.

      At the end of the day, your immigration policies suck when you can kick out someone who lived there for 24 years, fully integrated.

        Well it actually starts before that, how can someone live in another country for 24 years and not claim citizenship?
        And yes Brits living in another country should be able to read up on what they have to do after Brexit.
        It’s not like that Brexit never hit the media.

        Why is everyone today calling for someone else to manage their own life?!
        Get your shit together.

        Well the UK left the EU so of course there are consequences. People should have paid more attention. Britain really just wanted to separate and not have any consequences.
