A singer with a Swedish disco band who performed at this year’s Eurovision has told of the “dehumanising” and “distressing” consequences of Brexit after her British husband’s application to remain in Sweden was rejected.
Tess Merkel Solomons, a singer with the band Alcazar, said it felt as if her husband, Kenny Solomons, an actor and entrepreneur, was being “punished” because he was a British citizen in Sweden after Brexit.
Their ordeal began three years ago when Solomons, who had been living in the country since 2012, learned from one of his British employees that he should have applied to remain in Sweden by the end of 2021. He quickly applied but was this rejected in August this year on the grounds that he was late.
File this under "You; sucks to be". Britain leaving the EU meant pretty clearly that, as the kids say, time's up, rules change. British subjects elsewhere in the EU were going to fall into the same category as any other foreigner as a result of Brexit and the lack of personal notice cuts no ice.
