Serious: how is Theresa May (or any politician) supposed to be able to guarantee the status of EU nationals right now? There are several million British people in Europe who are at risk of being kicked out. Obviously their status needs to be defended.
- jamiethompson 10y agoShe can't. No one can. But she could have diffused the uncertainty by reassuring the many EU citizens in the UK and the many British citizens living in the EU that, of course, the government would seek a deal which protected their status.
- tonyedgecombe 10y agoNotice that uncertainty is being stirred up by an opposition politician from Scotland, expect a lot of this until the whole thing has been resolved.
- jamiethompson 10y agoI'm guessing you mean Nicola Sturgeon the Scottish First Minister?
- retube 10y agoBut that's exactly what she did say - she said she'd do everything she could to protect them but couldn't guarantee it.
