Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostThere is uncertainty - but IIRC, May has unilaterally declared that EU foreigners in the UK will be able to stay, so the uncertainty is with Brits in the Netherlands.
Thus, once more highlighting their churlish inflexibility and acting as a stark reminder as to why a vote to LEAVE was the morally correct thing to do.

Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostYes, a matter that is entirely within the control of the EU to resolve, yet is a reciprocal gesture that they have stubbornly resisted to make.

You do understand we're leaving the EU don't you? You do actually understand what this means and what you voted for? You do understand that we'll be a 3rd country and therefore won't have the benefits that we had when in the EU? You do understand that we're not that important now on the world stage, and the world has been watching and seen how badly we've managed and negotiated Brexit? You do understand that we're not some super power anymore and we can't bully other countries into giving us what we want, like we could when we dominated via colonial empirialism? Those 'glory' days have gone .... you do realise they are not coming back, can your little Englander brain comprehend that? (I know, the irony that you're scottish hasn't passed me by)
I do wonder at what point the penny will finally drop with Brexiters and they start to understand, I mean truly understand, what they have voted for and the impact of us leaving the EU.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostIs that the oiginal headline, because it seems to be different now: "Queen looks to 'new partnership' with Europe after Brexit". The only mention of uncertainty in the text is with respect to the 100'000 Dutch in the UK and the 50'000 Brits in the Netherlands, in the light of Brexit. Which is true. There is uncertainty - but IIRC, May has unilaterally declared that EU foreigners in the UK will be able to stay, so the uncertainty is with Brits in the Netherlands.Comment

Originally posted by Whorty View PostWe can't expect the EU to treat us as a special case
We are currently in negotiations (you DO understand that this does not necessarily entail pulling your trousers down and bending over don't you?),
and on a matter that affects both parties we have grounds for expecting that an offer that simply involves mere reciprocity ought to be seriously considered as it is patently of mutual benefit.
The fact that the EU seem hell-bent on snubbing us over this issue just highlights their inclination to act like spoilt children.
As others have stated, this is a classic case of cutting one's nose off to spoil one's face.
