Re: Impossible for Expats to return to UK?
I think that we could possibly be about to to witness a colossal historical moment in the next 24 hours. If a no deal is allowed it will be ( privately) what the SNP want. It will be the start of a process that will change irreversibly the nature of identity, culture, and nationaliy of everyone in the UK. It will not be seen as the result of exterior consequences but solely the politics of one single party and a few dozen MPs. RIP UK!!!
The majority of people in UK voted to leave the EU and we must respect that decision.
The majority of people in Scotland, Wales and NI voted against leaving the EU. The devolved parliaments have been ignored by Westminster.
We are clearly at a cross roads.
Getting back to the original post: Independent Scotland, Wales & NI would almost certainly ditch the draconian UK rules which impede free movement of non UK relatives and essential workers, e.g. farm workers, doctors nurses et al.

Are you attempting to blame SNP for Brexit? I do not think that is fair comment.

I am certainly not blaming SNP I support them, I simply mean that ironically Brexit has shifted the independence debate in favour of independence

I believe that has always been the case for those who are married to a non EU national? Now we are leaving EU, it should come as no surprise that partners who are not UK citizens will require permission to reside in UK. BoJo is taking back control of our borders :-(

Visas have always been required, since jesus was a boy. I did not say anything about "income requirements"

It was in July 2012 that UK started implementing minimum income requirement of £18,600 before tax for non-EU family member to join their settled UK partner.

Not sure what the point you are making with this comment?
Are you of the view that those not already drawing their UK state pension by brexit date shouldn't receive one? If so why?
