In the future, after the EU dictatorship has collapsed, we can then certainly make mutually beneficial agreements with individual countries.
We have had this discussion and Spain has already said it will guarantee rights of British immigrants. Jorge Toledo (great name) already said so. They will ignore dictates from brussels. We should not be putting hardworking people through such nonsense. Its a mistake to treat people like cattle at a market awaiting slaughter.

Re: EU citizens in UK anxiously seek security before Brexit
HiA personal view.
I am getting fed up with both sides behaving like idiots on this, it does not reflect well on the Politicians at all.
I see no reason this could not be sorted out with a video conference with all those involved now and then we could get on with the important stuff.

Re: EU citizens in UK anxiously seek security before Brexit
JBR, thank you for your comment. I was undecided whether to post my opinion or not as it was so contrary to what page after page was saying.I wouldn't like to feel I was being offensive with my comments but it is something I feel very strongly about. When one side is offering an olive branch regarding Immigrants rights and the other spits at it, that is it as far as I am concerned. Now it is a case of "Theresa, go in there and do battle for Britain". Use every weapon at your disposal, as unpleasant as it may be, she was put in that position, now she has to do her best for everyone but not at the expense of Britain or British citizens in any shape or form.

The only idiots I see are Juncker, Merkle and their ilk behaving like the bullies they are.

Re: EU citizens in UK anxiously seek security before Brexit
May I just add, I will be one of the first to criticise and yes, even curse Theresa May if she lets us down and capitulates anything that is detrimental to either us here in Britain or our British citizens in the EU.Hopefully, as JBR says, it is just bluster with Juncker and Merkle for publicity sake, and they will act more in an adult manner once the talks begin.

If that gentleman actually has the power to make such decisions, perhaps he can also agree separate mutually beneficial trade agreements between Spain and the UK, if he can ignore the EU on that matter too.

I think you'll find that most of us here agree with you completely. Many of us are sick and tired of all the threats. Before the referendum was bad enough, but now the decision has been made they should just shut up and keep quiet if they can't find it in themselves to fight alongside us for what is best for the country as a whole.
