Given the choice between exercising a treaty right to live somewhere (free) and applying for citizenship to give you no different rights (not free), which one would you choose?Comment

UK-based Poles call for revolt against having to apply for settled status
Originally posted by JohntheBike View Postwell an astute person might have weighed up the legal strength of each, and given the history of the UK being not fully integrated into the EU, e.g. we didn't adopt the Euro, might have concluded that applying for British citizenship might have been the better option. Surely looks that way now.
As I said, it works both ways. Hence the flurry of applications for German/French/Irish etc citizenship by Brits.Comment
