Dutch nationals who take British citizenship to avoid having to leave the UK after Brexit will be stripped of their Netherlands passports due to existing limits on dual nationality, the Dutch prime minister has said.

About 100,000 Dutch nationals living in Britain face an uncertain future after March 2019. The UK and EU are yet to reconcile their differences on the citizens’ rights issue, with Brussels describing the British government’s initial offer as vague and inadequate.

Mark Rutte told Dutch citizens in the UK who have considered becoming British to avoid residency problems once Britain leaves the EU that applying for dual nationality was not an option.

“Countering dual nationality remains one of this cabinet’s policies,” the prime minister said on Monday, in response to a petition with 22,000 signatures calling for a government rethink.

Essentially he's not wrong because nobody actually has the answer.

Professor Iain Begg, research fellow at the London School of Economics’ European Institute.

He said that there are differing legal views on the question of ongoing commitments to the EU after Brexit, and there is a ‘respectable argument that once you leave, all obligations cease as Farage claims’.

But he also pointed out that there are ‘commitments being made today for which the final bill, quite properly, will only be presented in five years’ time, such as binding contracts to finance roads, other big infrastructure projects or multi-annual research’.

In other words, the UK may well have plenty of financial obligations to the EU after 2020.

I'd have to ask why commitments are being made and why the UK would continue to pay towards infrastructure and roads etc when we will no longer be part of the EU.

But if you look at the quote it's not exactly a false claim because a respectable argument can be made that he is right. Although he should have quoted the whole paragraph. That was selective of him.

I'd like to see some details on what these obligations are. Whether payments we previously signed up to will still end up with some benefit to us.

A huge majority of older Leave voters say significant damage to the British economy is a “price worth paying” to secure Brexit, research shows.

No fewer than 71 per cent of over-65s are willing for the country to take a big economic hit – and half would accept a member of their own family losing their job.

they've got their pensions, medical care taken care of, the house they bought in 1970 for 20,000 is worth 500,000 now, they dont have to deal with zero hour contracts, house sharing or paying 300k for a fucking 1 bed flat. IMO these older leave voters who would back this honestly think an economic downturn wont affect them.

The older and wiser, pride over pounds. The establishment preach it's gonna be a disaster and they will have nobody to care for them, but they are British and crack on anyways. This younger generation ( Some of whom don't even have any love for the country ) have the cheek and sit their complaining because we won't allow this country to be run by Germans, meanwhile talking shit about our ancestors who maintained our freedom.

18% of Remain voters voted that they would be happy for a family member to lose their job if it meant us staying in the EU.... Wow, selfish young bastards aye?
