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.They must have managed their life quite well considering they were no citizen.
Can you truly be fully integrated, if you did not obtain citizenship?
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.
Really sucks leopards also eat faces of remain voters. But at least they saved a lot of money and grew their economy. Oh wait, they didn’t. https://www.cer.eu/insights/cost-brexit-ten-years-impact-leaving-customs-union-and-single-market-uk-trade
My main question is why he didn’t get Swedish citizenship. I thought this would be another article about someone who just didn’t bother to apply, but he did apply and was rejected:
Sellers was aware that Brexit might affect his right to stay in the country and, without any communication from government authorities, he considered his best option was to apply for Swedish citizenship.
This he did in September 2021, before the Brexit deadline of 31 December that year.
Not only was his citizenship rejected, but two subsequent attempts to remain in the country under family rights in national migration laws via his partner, now his wife, were also turned down.
The latest adjudication, after he appealed against the first decision to refuse him residency on the grounds of a family relationship with Caroline, whom he had yet to marry, was that they had “not lived together abroad for an extended period of time”.
That leaves me wondering why he was rejected for citizenship. It makes me wonder if it’s something like a criminal history, or living on social benefits or something like that, or if it was just a series of beaurocrats that have a directive to try and get immigration / naturalization numbers down.
Other news. Meanwhile, I’d like to know Farage’s opinion on the matter…
Sweden also has no cash anymore basically. Anyone know how invasive Swish is?
Nice country, but idk
Swish is wonderful. I pay petty much everything with swish these days, just to avoid using Visa or any other US payment system.
I dont ask if it works but how private it is. Cash is nearly completely private. I go to the usual supermarket and get 200€ cash then I spend it however I want, repeat.
That is a very good mix of privacy and convenience. My bank even has some kind of deal to allow free cash retrieval from supermarkets 5 times a month or something
We can already pay securely with instant bank transfer but nobody does that. WERO is some pseudo independent service that involves phone numbers which is something I would very much prefer not to share.
Does swish work on uncertified Android phones? What nasty things does the app do? Does it work on rooted phones? If the bootloader is unlocked? Does it load code dynamically from memory? Does it debug its own code? Does it use Play Integrity with fallback for no support at all, or does it explicitely not use Play integrity because it is useless garbage? Do they officially allow certain free android builds like GrapheneOS?
Those are other important points.
Might be a little more anonymous than Visa, but not as anonymous as cash. The bank will still be able to see where you buy, but probably not what. Swish is like WERO in that it uses your phone number, so yeah, if you get a payment you can see their number.
It probably won’t work on uncertified phones, but also because it uses BankID, the digital-id card everyone uses. If anything, the bank-id is the bigger problem because you basically can’t function in Sweden without one.
Tell me more,is it available across EU? I am moving to Walt and need to get away from Visa and Mastercard.
Sweden only I’m afraid, but there’s also a nordic one called Vipps that works in all (I think) nordic countries.
Would love to have it EU wide though.
