We, as UK citizens who live in the UK are also EU citizens and currently enjoy Freedom of Movement Rights as EU Citizens yet our rights appear to be being left out of the EU citizenship / Brexit discussions.
To bring this to the attention of Government, we produced a Big EU passport and started The Big EU Passport Campaign !!
To bring this to the attention of Government, we produced a Big EU passport and started The Big EU Passport Campaign !!
The statement in the Big EU Passport is as follows :
"This UK Passport gives us, as EU Citizens, the Right to live and work in 28 EU Countries (& 3 EEA Countries). We, the undersigned, do not want to lose this Right and ask that our Rights are fully protected and that they are valued and considered in any Brexit negotiations."
Protect our Freedom of Movement Rights

______________________________
We submitted evidence to the EU Justice Sub Committee of the House of Lords on Brexit-Citizens Rights - you will find our submission here along with a further one from the European Movement in Scotland who have also supported our submission:
So let's at least make sure our RIGHTS ARE BEING CONSIDERED !!
We are hoping to re-launch our petition and if we can achieve 10,000 then we should be able to get a Government response. Arrangements will then be made to present it in London at the Dept for Exiting the EU and/or All Party Committee of MPs, of which my local MP is a member.
Please get in touch - we are on Twitter @BigEUPassport and Facebook and if you contact Jen Wilson via there we can arrange to contact you.

Stopping Brexit is an action taken in the national interest. Every claim, every promise made by the Brexitears during their referendum campaign has been exposed as simply not true, either from cluelessness, incompetence or downright mendacious lying.
Brexit is an omnishambles. Game over, Brexitears. You were challenged to show the benefits of Brexit and have failed spectacularly.

Brexit was bought by millionaires. It is not in the nationalinterest. Please call a halt to the madness.

Can I sign, too? I am a disenfranchised Brit who will be exiled by UK government's proposed income threshold. I am worried about the consequences if I am forced to take Dutch citizenship, as dual nationality is only permitted in the Netherlands, if both countries are members of the EU. I'm very angry that my future is being decided for me, without letting me vote, by a government I cannot "hold to account".

Can I sign too please? I am a disenfranchised British citizen in the EU. Very angry that I my lose considerable rights and freedoms because of a vote I was excluded from. Even angrier that I have no way to hold to account a government, that wants to remove my rights.

Can I sign too, please? I'm a British person currently managing an EU-funded project in the UK. I was hoping to retire to France but don't know if that will be possible now.

The behaviour of the UK Government beggars belief. Even pre Brexit, Cameron allowed the EU to be blamed for austerity, economic decline, and subsequent woes that were directly attributable to the Tory Govt. During the Brexit campaign, the Daily Heil (sic) and other vile fascist rags deliberately conflated EU workers with refugees & illegal immigrants.NO TORY MINISTER HAS EVER COME OUT AND PROTESTED THIS. As a result, 'immigration' became the platform on which Farage (EU pension) Banks (Russian wife) campaigned and won.It is still being used: Barnier is being blamed for the UK Govt failure to say what it wants. People like me, and you, suffer verbal abuse every time we speak in another language.I get anti-Semitic comments as I've just got me German Jewish family's citizenship restored. Oh I could go on and on..but hey.
