Personally I would have stopped visa free entry for Romanian and Bulgarian nationals already. Quite why these countries were allowed into the EU is beyond me, and I have been there recently.
Those rushing in now to claim they were here before the cut off date should be stopped.

Didn't they say they only expected 50k a year or something to come when they opened the doors. On what planet do they live on when they make these numbers up.

Ah.

You can't do it, they are EU countries.

Exactly. That's what's so incredible. They had a the figures of how far wrong they got it last time!!

UK can guarantee easily on its own sovereign territory that any EU citizen who was here for X years before referendum to be entitled to UK permanent residence if they wish so.

What UK can't do is start negotiations with other EU nations about similar guarantees, that can only happen after Article 50 - a gesture of good will would have gone a long way to have smooth negotiations.

Like feck it would. Don't you remember, the EU wants to punish us.

If they want to stick rigidly to the rules then that's what will happen. I have said before and will say again, the EU Commission doesn't care about its people. It cares about itself. The Governments will care about their people which is why the EU Commission is doomed.

Surely there would be Human Rights Legislation to protect us against such an eventuality?

Nope, you're ****ed as Theresa Mayhem wants to get rid of all that
