    Text - RS Archer @archer_rs 1d Just had conversation with a British couple who have a holiday home near us. They voted for Brexit and have made no arrangements whatsoever for what happens on Jan 1. They have now discovered the reality of their situation. The blame apparently is with "Brussels". Q 3,431 2719K 84.3K RS Archer @archer_rs 1d Quick follow up to this: They have always assumed I am British and only recently discovered I have dual nationality. When I told them and revealed all my EU rig

    Text - RS Archer @archer_rs 1d The son has been back on, it seems he will be, "Taking this to the top" I have no idea what that means. 100 27321 8,906 1 RS Archer @archer_rs 1d He's not going to be "pushed around" by 'Brussels' and he's spoken to his friends at work who all agree with him. Seems this is the EU bullying his parents and being vindictive toward British people because they are jealous of Brexit. My only reply was, "Well ok then" 90 t7 394 8,843 RS Archer @archer_rs 1d Received a lar

    Text - RS Archer @archer_rs 1d Latest Development: The wife called my wife again. More tears, seems the idiot son has been shouting at his work about this and has been sent home to cool off.

We have said yes. 106 27295 O 7,107 RS Archer @archer_rs 1d O Christ Another call, this time from the son.

    Text - RS Archer @archer_rs 1d I said he needs to take the time to understand what Brexit means but he will not listen. I told him he will need to wear a mask when here. Surprise, surprise he, "Doesn't believe in them" I doubt he can get a Channel crossing so he probably will not make it. 80 27 349 O 8,404 RS Archer @archer_rs 1d Long email from the original couple.

    Text - RS Archer @archer_rs 5h New message from idiot son. If all this can be "fixed" on Friday he says he will take my wife and I out for a "bloody good dinner". I am not sure if it is in the power for a regional French Mayor to fix Brexit but we shall see, he's a bright guy. 249 27 167 5,040 RS Archer @archer_rs 4h New message from the Father. He's asking me to "look after" his son when he's here. This is the second time he's requested this. It's possible he's asking for the Corleone option. Q

To those who are saying it's false - I've seen similar situations play out with "expats" in France & Spain. Q2 10 Natalia Portillo @girlyngeek ·3h The majority of the biggest british community in Spain voted for brexit. They realized the real meaning of it a year later. They let themselves be lied to. But they liked what they heard, so it's so much a problem of the liar as it is of the l

    Text - codfather #FBPE @codfather · 3h ux Replying to @archer_rs You literally have had me in tears of laughter with this thread, I live up in the Deux Sevres and have had similar - but not as bad - conversations with Brexidiots. They also go white and stop talking when it gets to health cover. Must be millions who don't know the consequences.
