UK to end freedom of movement for EU citizens on day one of Brexit, under new government plan

Thats one that gets offered up but never actually discussed it has a quasi spiritual status

A leaked internal government discussion paper warned that introducing a sharp cutoff date could present “legitimate concerns of another Windrush”.

The Home Office urged EU nationals to apply for settled status to avoid potential difficulties. Officials said no one eligible for the status would be barred from re-entering the UK if and when free movement ended, but it was not clear how checks would be made.

Not a proposition I can support particularly when May's government has for at least the last 2 years maintained that FoM to the Uk will not stop on exit day. And then there's the Windrush scandal.

There's none so racist as members of ethnic minority groups. Patel is taking her lead from them.

I remember her last sacking well which ethnic minority does she support I wonder?

As Irish he is covered under common travel area arrangements. Irish always had ability to move to UK without EU regulations to support it.

If you believe Boris then CTA will continue after no deal brexit

Your programmer officially has settle status now so should be ok regardless

Too many remainer questions and not enough time to tell them again that they LOST.
Get over it

They had the rug pulled out from under them,have pity,its a concept they have difficulty grasping

It is getting very tiresome

We managed before the EU, Jim, and we will manage afterwards too.

voted for kipeers and bananananas

And you accuse Brexiters of xenophobia!!

Remain want to leave a deal and leave just want to leave just take the deal on the table and everyone is happy

From the few recent polls I've seen, no deal seems to be the most popular option amongst voters. And if we do leave with no deal it will be because the EU is doing its utmost to prevent there being an equitable deal because of the amount of our annual membership.

Amongst current leave supporters, I agreed that No Deal is the most popular option. As to the country as a whole, I don’t know.

I have to given the Leave camp credit for convincing everyone that No Deal was what they voted for all along.

I disagree that the EU is responsible for the current quagmire. When the Leave campaign frequently stated there was no intention to leave the Single Market and we’d have a Norway deal (which many Remainers could have begrudgingly supported), you can understand the EU’s annoyance at how Britain’s crack team of negotiators have gone about business.

The EU has to protect its own interests hence why the Irish border is holding everything up. If Britain wants to leave the club and welcome in dirty chlorine washed chickens from Oklahoma, the EU cannot leave an open border in Ireland. The backstop is supposed to be temporary until a solution is found. It doesn’t give you much hope that a solution is around the corner if we cannot tolerate this temporary backstop.

Thank you for a well-reasoned response

But ...

So why have both the British and Irish governments made it very clear to all who will listen that, in the event of no deal, neither government will erect a hard border on the island of Ireland. Also there is no incentive for the EU to agree to a permanent solution to the border issue, something which should ring bells and wave red flags; our MPs appear to think this.
