I've sent off my Lobby Campaign Form Admiral, but to be honest I stand by what I say and can't really do much more.
You are right I don't know where it will lead, but not one of us do. Brexit has caused too much uncertainty and hatred for my liking so the sooner it's over the better and we can all get on with it what ever it is.
I'm fed up with it all and just don't care any more. My priority is staying here in France by whatever means it takes, if at the end of the day it's not possible then I will worry about it. But even then the UK would be last on my list of places to live.
As for the reciprocal health agreement, I'm currently getting around €20,000 of treatment per year paid for by the French government and last year between myself and Mrs Fred they paid just over €30,000 for our medical costs. So the reciprocal health agreement isn't being used in our case, it's all paid for by the MSA. We are fully integrated in the French system and have been for aver 13 years, so apart from having a French passport we are classed as a French citizen.
They have dragged their heals over Brexit for over 1.5 years now and still have nothing apart from some very heavy looking bills that could go on for years. I don't live in the UK so I'm not bothered what happens to the UK. I was against Brexit but I've now accepted it, though I don't want to be a part of it or what it has become.
If Brexit was to stop now it, wouldn't make any difference to me. If it goes ahead, I will look at it then and see what is on offer.
