No, but it’s a member of the Schengen area and the EU Customs Territory and VAT Area, inherited via its relationship with France. Would you like some sort of diagram to help you understand that more easily?
I think you’ll find GG is actually a creation of Dominic Raab.
That would explain a lot.

No thanks. understood it perfectly well before I asked the question.

I did so because it’s an interesting case of highly bespoke arrangements which you seemed totally unaware of as you glibly stated you were exercising ‘free movement’, which... well done, doesn’t apply to Monaco :lol:

Before you embarrass yourself further, Schengen (Monaco only a de facto member not a signatory incidentally) is not ‘free movement’ under the EU treaties which encompasses a right to settle.

I’m sure Raab also knew that Dover was a rather important port... it’s what he said first that made him look an idiot.

That’s more of a weasel than a ferret :lol:

Raab also left Linklaters shortly after qualifying. There may have been a reason for that.

GG, maybe you’d like to explain to the European Commission that the Schengen Acquis doesn’t allow freedom of movement. They seem to think it does.

Can you also explain the practical differences between being a signatory versus being a de-facto member?

I just want him to waste his time writing out 14 paragraphs that are nothing but bluster, hot air and pomposity, which I won’t read, before calling him a cunt.

It has. He’s posting links which don’t support his argument if you read them and I strongly suspect he also knows but is trying to save face.

I would suggest he just pops down to demand residency in the relevant monagasque government offices on the basis of freedom of movement and see how far he gets.

He wasn't taking about eeisdency or the right to settle though. You were - unprompted, for some reason. It was only the right to travel that was being discussed.

He said freedom of movement. That bears a specific legal meaning as one of the four freedoms under EU law and includes residency.

If he meant freedom to travel, fine, but as you can see from Monaco, that doesn’t always entail being a member of the EU and funnily enough we’d be almost certain to have visa free travel to these states post Brexit for the purposes of a holiday.

Actually, I said I was exercising my freedom of movement in response to his pointing out I was in France. He then brought up Monaco, which was nothing to do with my statement.

Why I’d be attempting to save face against his utter bilge, I don’t know. He seems to believe he’s won some imaginary internet points for something when, in fact, he’s just being a colossal bell end :lol:

That would require some sort of deal, correct?

Ok so now we’re getting somewhere - so you don’t have freedom of movement vis a vis Monaco despite what you just said above? So that was a lie?

Again - and before this hits 100 pages - I still believe Dave is only talking about freedom to travel. I don't think he wants to move to Monaco. Next.

Has GG ever actually outlined the benefits of Brexit yet? I can remember seeing him (and the other 3 or 4 Brexshitters on here) asked, but have never seen anyone answer??

I’m ignoring his stupidity now. I don’t understand how someone so demonstrably stupid can ever end up as a solicitor. I can’t imagine he’s ever won a case in court.

No. They’ll say “I’ve already outlined the benefits” but can’t show you where. They’ll say “there’s no point in going over it again, we won the referendum”. They’ll make excuse after excuse to not give any facts. Don’t bother, they’ve got absolutely nothing credible to say.

Standard response - 'oh I've already answered and refuse to again.'
