Well that's it then. Thank you and goodnight. And it is goodnight because British citizens living abroad, especially in the European Union, are in the dark. Prime minister Theresa May may have triggered Article 50 but there was no mention of the status of British citizens abroad. Now, obviously until the negotiations are complete we are still European Union citizens but the clock is ticking and no one really has any idea of our future status outside the European Union.

MelB: I don't think it is any of our business whether the editor has applied for Spanish nationality or not. He is entitled to express his opinions without being under the obligation to disclose his personal plans! Some of us have applied for Spanish citizenship or are in the process of doing so, others prefer not to or to wait and see what happens. Some don't mind giving up their British passports, others do. It's a personal choice and no-one else has the right to criticise that choice.
Enough of the histrionics! Let's allow the dust to settle first before predicting all this doom and gloom. Anybody would think you wanted things to end badly for the UK and it's citizens who reside in the EU, Jason.
Might one be so bold as to ask, has our editor taken out Spanish nationality or is he loathe to lose that most valuable commodity, his British passport. In line with the other two comments, the beginning of a wonderful opportunity to trade with the world without the rampant bureaucracy of the crumbling EU.
Yesterday marked the beginning of a bright new future,free of the shackles and corruption of the EU,which is not what we actually joined in 1973.
It also marked the beginning of a new one.
