I was wondering why so many britons were forced to leave the EU and return to the UK post-brexit. So many cheap properties for sale in ES, PO and FR. Turns out their pension doesn't satisfy the 3rd-country nationals minimum earnings threshold!

I visit england often...and witnessed the rise of racism & aggressive xenophobia post brexit. What is being peddled in Ireland is a carbon copy of same. "Ireland First" is no different to "britain first" or "MAGA". It's right wing bollox and it saddens me to see it in Ireland.

@bolddigger52 I'm old enough to remember when british people pointed the finger at americans, laughing, because they elected trump.

@BEERG German travel agents are promoting special "brexit holidays" so people can experience what it was like living in DDR.

@wigmore_welsh "the brexit" is only starting and it's comedy gold for everyone in Europe. one swiss colleague put it beautifully: "brexit & english politics makes monty python look like a documentary!"

The tory party of Germany, AfD, are now threatening a German brexit and starting a campaign to buy "German only" produce. This is what one supermarket did. 👇

This is what a supermarket without foreign-made products looks like.

@MarinaPurkiss a swiss colleague put it beautifully: "brexit & english politics makes monty pythong look like a documentary" I don't think the english know they are the funny bit at the end of the news a lot, across european TV. "...And finally, on brexit island...."

@ledredman @DJBond6873 @KayBurley 100% correct. there was a very clear warning, before the brexit vote, that the preferred postion for the UKGOV was always a sea border. Note how many unionists in NI were fully aware yet still pushed for an hard brexit. (from may 2016)

Wait until the end....when Oliver, after been called a "loon presenter", tries to retrieve the situation by saying "well some people think brexit has been a great idea". Utterly priceless! Please don't ban #gbnews it's comedy gold.

@bruce_weingart I'm Irish Bruce and while I don't speak for everyone in Ireland (or @ryanair ), we do not hate Israel or Jews. It would be more correct to say Ireland hates apartheid. There was similar mood music in Ireland over South Africa.

@giusepavesi @TheFigen Brevik is not held in a prison like that. he is in a very secure unit and if I understand the articles from correctly, he is denied normal internet access and other such privileges.

@TanjaBueltmann The way they booed the anthem was quite something. I was on the fence before this game. After that I would like to see Germany win by quite a margin.
