If you made your life here, why didn't you become a British citizen?

[DorothyL]

How do you respond to that as an EU citizen?

I came to the UK in 98. I never applied for British citizenship because I didn't see the need - I truly felt that the fact we were all EU meant it didn't matter!

Now I'm scared because in spite of being here so long I would probably not qualify for a permanent residency card because I wasn't working (SAHM/carer).

Wish I knew what will happen

I've started a thread on the petitions board asking for support for the petition to reform the PR process.

If you care about your non-British EU friends, neighbours, family, colleagues, please sign the petition and comment on the thread to bump it.

Thank you!
