EU citizens will have to apply for settled status and pay £65 for the pleasure!!! Outrageous!!! Furthermore, we have to answer three simple questions via android phone!!!
I don't have an Android phone!!! These new requirements are totally unreasonable!!! Tory government, so typical, Tories are so nasty!!!
I already paid hundreds and filled in a form 70 odd pages long for residency status!!! Now I have to fork out £65!!!

Really? Reads like a caricature to me.
Perhaps it would be more informative to compare the new process to the existing (optional) process for EU citizens who have been legally here for the qualifying five years to claim permanent residence, and with it a bunch of rights.
Or to compare it to the Windrush story. I expect both Windrush and EU folks who conform to certain expectations will have an easy box-ticking exercise, while others will face a Kafka-esque nightmare. Talking of which, I wonder if Coleywife is still in limbo?

Re: EU settled status
Yes, seemed like irrational idiotic caricatures. One EU citizen had lived in the UK for 25 years, his children were UK citizens and he was still panicking about being put on a boat.

It does happen, however, to non EU citizens.

Re: EU settled status
Jaysus, if it's not worth £65, you do wonder. I think I paid more than that for a new (UK) passport.

So does that mean that an EU citizen that has lived in the UK for 25 years with his children all UK citizens will have no problem remaining living, working etc in the UK come Brexit? Needing a piece of paper or "just carry on" ? (genuine query) -

Well, that's off topic then.
