    We've covered this one. May offered to guarantee rights from the off, but the EU stick it's nose up.
    I must have missed that... can you point me in the direction of some evidence of that offer?

      See point 6 in May's Lancaster House speech from 17 January 2017:

      6. Rights for EU nationals in Britain, and British nationals in the EU

      Fairness demands that we deal with another issue as soon as possible too. We want to guarantee the rights of EU citizens who are already living in Britain, and the rights of British nationals in other member states, as early as we can.

      I have told other EU leaders that we could give people the certainty they want straight away, and reach such a deal now.

      Many of them favour such an agreement – 1 or 2 others do not – but I want everyone to know that it remains an important priority for Britain – and for many other member states – to resolve this challenge as soon as possible. Because it is the right and fair thing to do.

        It's actually a bit more complicated than the "shoot from the hip" approach of the government. Whereas a British government is quite happy to put on back of a cigarette packet that "EU citizens will be alright", lots of guarantees on pensions, rights and who oversees the rights of EU nationals need to be sorted out.

        This is the typical naive approach of the "Brexiters" who fail to see the complexity and enormity of what they're doing.

        Davis had his first lesson in "not being naive" agreeing totally to the EU's timetable on Monday.

        If there are two parties arguing it is usually the party that is right that wins.

            I know which one gets the best results.

            And I know which one is geared towards making senior management look good, help their mates line their pockets and which delivers limited benefit too late.

            Not sure why the EU thinks you cannot talk about things in a non sequential manner - unless they are not very bright.
            Which party is the one with the more experienced negotiators?

              It will be a Hard Brexit that will resemble a Soft Brexit. Look no further than Switzerland, ticks all the boxes of a Hard Brexit. Their control of immigration is a rubber stamp in the local community offices, however it does need approval from an official.

              Basically membership but without a vote.

                To quote the i that I'm reading in the pub :

                Mr Barnier kept a cool uncompromising passive demeaner throughout. By contrast, at the end of the day Davis appeared almost disheveled, and struggled to show his trademark jovial character. And that perhaps spoke volumes regarding who has the upper hand.

                    So on that basis, presumably you agree that the Leave side won the argument on leaving the EU?
