Brexit benefit
Hurrah! Now I can go to the pub and order a pint.
No more ordering 0.568 of a litre for me. Take that, EU!!

As some wag on twitter put it "Wait, til they figure out what a gallon of petrol now costs".
Of all the pathetic waste of time and resources, this has to be one of the best.
Long live 125g of sweets!

Re: Brexit benefit
I don't see any benefit in Brexit. It was a political lie from A to Z.
Other than in irony, I can't use the word benefit regarding Brexit.
And the US won't offer the UK the so often advertised "awesome trade deal" as long as the UK doesn't respect the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland.

On the US / UK trade deal front, A US congressman summed it up rather well:
Still, Bozza has apparently got a deal on accepting imports of British lamb. That'll make up for Brexit then. Sorted.

Re: Brexit benefit
Is it just my imagination or are the vast majority who oppose Brexit are actually Brits not living in the UK? The TIO threads are full of non UK mainly EU country based posters complaining about Brexit but what do they have to complain about? They still have FOM, according to them there are no empty shelves in supermarkets where they live and lots of HGV drivers delivering stuff. The North American based posters seem less concerned about Brexit.

Re: Brexit benefit
So if you have a residency permit can you still travel with FOM? What is wrong with obtaining citizenship of the country you live in (Hungary) then you would have dual citizenship?

Re: Brexit benefit
We may travel through the EU as visitors, as the Brits can. We cannot upsticks & move, unrestricted, to another EU country, so FOM has gone. Brits wishing to leave the UK for life in the EU have to meet new, stricter conditions, for example, a couple on State pensions can no longer retire to Spain. Citizenship in Hungary requires 8 years continuous residence, so we have another 15 months before we can apply, others considerably more, obviously citizenship requirements vary across the EU.

Re: Brexit benefit
Austria makes you denounce but has exceptions. The Netherlands people who want to acquire Dutch nationality through naturalisation are, as a rule, required to give up their other nationality if possible. This is called the renunciation requirement.
Dual citizenship is only permitted to Slovak citizens who acquire a second citizenship by birth or through marriage.
Lithuania does not allow dual citizenship in general, but in certain casesbelow it is accepted

So yes you are correct but I haven't seen a huge number of UK nationals on BE posting from these countries.
While I understand FOM was a benefit to some many of us have never had it so some of us don't see it as a big deal. Things change over time and we accept it. Canadians never had to show passports to enter the US but unless you have a trusted traveller ID card i.e NEXUS, enhanced driving licence etc then you now need a passport. We adapted and now no longer an issue.

Re: Brexit benefit
That's not quite true. We may have relatives in the UK and be sorry to see what's been done to them. We may have retained UK passports for ourselves, or for our children, with the thought of moving to an EU country. We now have to suffer an increased incidence of images of former MEP Nigel Farage and no one should have to deal with that.
