The German vice-Chancellor said on Saturday that Germany needs to support young Brits after the UK voted to leave the EU.

European countries need to think about what they can offer young British people living in their countries, Sigmar Gabriel said, after the Brexit vote left many facing an uncertain future, Spiegel reports.

Despite the UK voting by a narrow majority to leave the European Union, young people voted largely for the Remain camp.

“They knew better than the snobs in the British elite that this was about their future,” Gabriel said at meeting of his Social Democratic Party (SPD) on Saturday. “We can’t just pull the drawbridge up.” …

Look at the US and Canada.Very large country (population-wise) and very small country.Yet no wars for 200+ years...citizens of each country pass easily over the border but citizens of *neither* country have the *right* to enter the other country.As for trade,I read recently that the value of goods passing over the Ambassador Bridge *alone* equals *all* the goods that come to the US from Japan.

Peaceful,friendly and prosperous.The kind of relationship that Britain could have with the EU were it not for pig headed,very *very* well paid,EU bureaucrats.

The snobs in the British elite are the ones that voted “Remain.”

This vice-chancellor kraut doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

The anwer to that is for Great Britain to tell anyone of their citizens that taking on German citizenship automatically cancells their British citizenship.

So now Germany has a policy based on age discrimination? Won’t let the UK old folks in?

Shouldn’t some of those lefty human rights groups be raising Hell about this?

Great Britian should offer citizenship and a ten year tax holiday to Germans with a high net worth who will start a business.

Only the British elite voted to leave. You overstuffed frankfurter. The smart Brits overwhelming voted for their liberty and independence. German once was a wonderful place, creative, hard working people, independent and successful. Now they are the lapdog yo the muslim vermin they welcome to their home and rape their daughters. Germania is lost.
Wow 50 calls about getting German citizenship. Wonder how they can handle the masses marching to the townhalls to apply. Why do they have to apply anyways. They are in Germany hence they are Germans. That EU immigration at its best.

Merkel is a dunce. She killed Germany.

“snobs”

Shameless, a snob from the German elite calling working class people in the UK “snobs”.

Once Britain is out of the EU and they cut the benefits provided, I'll wager there will be a general exodus of unproductive residents.

Or else he is just pretending that Europhillia is the populist side to confuse both the British and current members of the EU demanding their own referendums.
