They'd were reconsidering because that would mean they'd deport teachers, but that won't stop the Tories, it's another bit of gerrymandering to make sure they win the next election against Dan Jarv...oops delete Jeremy Corbyn.

Well, as far as the legal advisor from the Dutch embassy knows... If the UK leaves the EU, all EU citizens currently with the right to abode will loose this right and revert to the same rights as non-eu citizens. It is a worry! Thing is, people say oh it won't happen to the likes of you but, if we get a no vote, the likes of me become unwanted aliens too!!! |

I think a lot of no voters don't realise this! Over the last 20 years I have had a few discussions where someone spouted racist remarks. I pointed out I was a foreigner too, and an immigrant, but somehow that was different... The government would need to construct some kind of law that allows EU citizens to retain their right to abode. Alas, my legal advisor wasn't aware of any such forward thinking... Also unaware of how deportation would take place and if one would be allowed to sell property etc first... Needless to say I have stalled putting up a new building for the expansion of my business until I know my status... Hell, they are deporting grannies and underaged children, so I have no confidence. French friend married to a Brit has recently taken British citizenship, as she fears it would break up her family. I don't think consequences have been thought through at all! Or do politicians just assume it won't be a no vote? |

If the advisor is correct, this is horrifying and if it wasn't amended would be sure to lead to retaliatory action taken against British ex-pats. It's another example of Leave not having a clue where there actions will lead. They don't know, we don't know. At least last night the polls move quite heavily towards staying in, the one poll that had Leave winning by miles lost 9% of its 10% lead. The bookies odds have remain in as fairly strong favourites. |

Surely if by some horrible chance the majority vote to be out surely there would be a longish slow process to cut ties to EU and there would be negotiations regarding EU citizens in UK and UK citizens living in EU. Apparently 2.2 million UK citizens live in other EU countries. There are 2.3 million EU citizens in UK. They will not be able to move them overnight. My sons live in partner is Polish so have a personal interest in this. |

and it's taken 40 years to make the laws as compliacted as they are so untangling them isn't going to be a 2 minute job........

In the meantime the idea of moving lock stock and barrel to Salento really appeals... I can buy a larger small hding for half the money and I won't need a polytunnel for my non hardy herbs!!!
