    Damn I thought this was going to be about a Russian perma-flounce.

      Better title "May versus the Political Pygmies"

      Can you imagine Churchill's reaction if he were alive?

            This is not really a Brexit issue and should not be confused with free movement. There is no reason why one country cannot have an agreement with others to mutually respect rights of existing migrants. The fact that the EU commission is happy for people on either side to put up with months, if not years, of uncertainty just shows what a bunch of scumbags they are. People don't matter, just their idealistic principles.

              It wasn't EU commission that voted for Brexit which put peope under question - UK could have by now guaranteed all EU citizens that they will stay here but May refuses to do so in orde to use them as bargaining chips in negotiation.

              EU is using very predictable, the only possible strategy - May should have thought about it before she took the job, it won't be long before she fecks off to wear her £995 learher trousers

                  I would keep every EU migrant in the UK if it meant we did not have to have NAT back in the UK....

                    But why do you think this should be a unilateral decision with no corresponding guarantee about rights of UK citizens in Europe?

                    We also need to ensure that it is only useful migrants on both sides, those with jobs or good job prospects, no criminal convictions etc. who are protected.
