Brexit court case to prove we're all still EU citizens!

That's right, there's a group out there aiming to bring a court case to prove that we're still all EU citizens - despite Brexit.

So a group of pro-EU lawyers has started a fundraiser to take a case to the European Court of Justice, the ECJ, to prove that all UK citizens, or subjects if you prefer, are still citizens of the European Union.

Therefore, they argue, UK citizens can still travel freely and work in the EU27 member states after the 31st December 2020.

And no it's not April the first.

And they're looking to crowdfund £15,000 so they can file the case by the 24th of April.

But don't get hot under the collar fellow Brexiteers, as I'll explain in a moment.

The eu isn't a country, how can you be a citizen of a place that isn't there? 🙄

[moley]

I "Identify" as a non EU citizen!

[jamesmurphy]

How can anyone be a "citizen of the EU" when the EU is not a country to be a citizen of?.

[keegan]

We are not citizens of the EU so the ECJ is of no consequence whatsoever.

[FugPlays]

My passport says British & I didn't sign anything saying otherwise. So FU EU

[davidwatkins]

The legal definition of a citizen is a person who is legally a member of a sovereign state or nation. As the EU isn't a state or nation nobody can legally be a citizen of it!

Im English not european, Best wishes to Boris and his good lady, speedy recovery hopes to you both.

[raymorse]

I was never a european in the first place, I IDENTIFY !! as English!

Get well soon Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The whole country wants you to return to full health as soon as possible, there is a lot of work to be done, and only you can see it through. Will those idiots ever give up? They go on and on and on, there seems no end to their madness; they must be totally insane? I am not nor will I ever be, an EU citizen. Those who thought the EU was united, need to think again. They have shown utter contempt to Italy and Spain during their crisis. What happened to their mantra, "We are strong together, " apparently not.

I have never considered myself to be a "citizen", of either the United Kingdom or the EU, because I am not a citizen, I am a Subject of Her Majesty's United Kingdoms of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Principality of Wales. And proud of the fact!

[paulmccloud]

There is a simple way to get what they want, move to the EU, become a citizen of an EU country.

If they have enough money to throw down the drain on a pointless court case, they have enough money to make a new life somewhere.

[nycholaus]

EU citizenship does not exist. Its like saying 'NATO citizen' or 'UN citizen"

[davefroby]

Short answer: No

Long answer:

Even longer answer: HELL

If you don't like that answer: Move to France

[ottovonskidmark]

I do not and never will regard myself as an EU citizen. I am an English citizen.

[JPB-zuwd]
