    EU citizens never had it so good...

    Well worth a watch:

    As prepares to begin withdrawing from the EU, BBC's Europe editor Katya Adler asks whether the Union can survive facing the biggest challenge in its 60-year history.

    "This content is only available in Brexit land"

    Do I have to pay a import fee before I can watch?

      Well those on the continent up until recently got to watch the beeb without paying a license fee, so we'll just call it pay back.

        So you want use of a service but want others to pay for it.

        Maybe you don't need to watch the program after all.

          There you go making assumptions again. This is Brexitier thinking.

          I pay for a TV license in my bedsit in Edinburgh.

          Any more assumptions you care to make today?

            Unfortunately it is not possible under the license terms to watch it abroad.

            So whatever you pay to the BBC so the illegals can watch TV while huddling in your 1 bed flat over the bookies it doesn't count.

                I wouldn't want to presume, I'm just telling him it doesn't entitle him to watch it abroad.

                The BBC need to add a pin to I player which is printed on the license for up to 10 devices in the UK or sold to those wanting to use it abroad on a per device basis at a reduced cost.

                Could make a fortune.

                    So a UK citizen who pays for something loses the rights of use when on holiday in the Algarve?
