Yes, we have. As people who have not already exercised our right to do so, there would be a strict time limit set (which may be different per country) in order to be able to move freely. Different countries then have different rules about how long you have to live there for before you can get residence status as a non-EU national. Any Brexit deal would likely mean that we would then be allowed to live and travel within that country, but would need a visa as a non-EU national to move to any other country. Reciprocal healthcare would not be available, so private health insurance would be a must. There is no clarity yet on how the UK state pension would be distributed to UK citizens in the EU27.None of that is 'better' than now, especially when you consider our children can sit at their Playstation and play with people all over the world. Internationalism is in their blood. So yes, if it meant that my son would end up with qualifications that would be recognised in the EU27 when he grows up, and have a potential future spanning his home continent rather than being stuck on this tiny island, we would move. Matt has wanted to for a while actually. It's me that has kept us here, as I refuse to just let Brexit happen without fighting it with everything I've got. Hence why I bang on about it on the forum. I don't 'believe in Brexit' as there is literally nothing other than a tissue of lies surrounding the whole thing. Even if you don't like the EU, no-one has been able to come up with any other viable alternative that gives us 'the exact same benefits', as that alternative does not exist. It feels like we're living in a nightmare. The only way to make it go away is to stop it, however that happens. Then we can forget the last 3 years ever happened, and never say the B word again. Now wouldn't that be a relief.
