It's one of his accounts, looks like he's blocked me too now. You didn't miss much, just him suggesting that he knows more about EU law than a professor of EU law

I've looked at all of your accounts and am quite happy not following them, thanks all the same.

I accept that the return of the hostages, the ceasefire and the resumption of aid into Gaza is a great result, but I do not trust any of the parties involved enough to believe that this is going to lead to long-term peace and statehood for Palestinians.

As has been pointed out many times before, 90/180 is not a problem for the EU and there is no reason why the EU should change its laws to suit some non-EU citizens.

The change you want to see is a change in EU law. Trusting what a professor in EU law tells you is hardly immaterial.

Gosh, whose interpretation and comprehension should we believe? A professor of EU law, or a bloke who wants to visit his holiday home more often? Tough one.

It was clear after I'd thought more about what you said, I replied too soon ;) Tbf, it's only one travel agent warning about long delays and advising people to allow extra time for catching a train, getting to a meeting etc, since no-one knows what it will be like.

Indeed, and the UK would have been part of the EU, and therefore exempt, were it not for Brexit.

The system operates in Schengen airports, not Gatwick. You only go through the system in the UK for Eurostar and Dover ferries

Because of the extra time taken to register fingerprints and photos
sarahhpraia.bsky.social
No, EU citizens who are not part of Schengen, eg Ireland, are exempt. The UK would have been exempt too.

The new system that records your fingerprints and photo only launches today, I doubt you've been through these machines before

Definitely an idiot, trying to persuade me (an immigrant) to vote for him

My local Chega candidate complained about too many Brazilians and Indians in Portugal, but assured me that he wasn't racist. He does like rich [white] retirees who push up property prices, don't pay social security and pay less tax than Portuguese workers. Yeah, they really prioritise the Portuguese

O meu candidato do Chega estava a queixar sobre todos os brasileiros em Portugal, mas não te preocupes Rodney, vai ficar tudo bem 😂

I find it staggering that Brits resident in the EU have not bothered to understand how Brexit has affected them, and will continue to affect them

We don't yet know what has been achieved in Gaza, no idea whether a ceasefire will hold or peace will be maintained. An agreement has been reached on phase 1, nothing more

And UK citizens living in the EU – those most affected by the result, along with EU citizens in UK – couldn't vote if they had been there more than 15 years.

The article says the decision was made on Monday, it's about to be announced today

Chega had 19 councillors elected in the 2019 local elections and 11 of them have either left the party and become independent, or quit the role altogether, I dread to think the chaos they would bring to any municipality that elects them

That's a bit harsh, it's a guest essay for the foundation she started, not a scientific paper.
