You say that, but then we currently have almost limitless incompetence at the highest levels of government. So many aspects of Brexit that have been completely not thought about. The idea of an absolute trade barrier with our largest trading partner being thrown around as a valid idea.
I could easily see a malfunctioning government unilaterally deporting EU citizens.
- blibble 9y agopure hysteria given they're barely able to deport a couple of hundred failed asylum seekers, millions of EU citizens (many of whom aren't registered or on any sort of database) is not simply not possible
- ben_w 9y agoThe whole “not registered” thing is part of the problem — either the UK guarantees to continue allowing all EU-27 citizens who enter the UK to stay, or EU-27 citizens already in the UK have to be prepared for spontaneous deportation when someone notices they’re not UK citizens. The third opinion, to force registration, would be sensible, but is impossible partly because ID databases are politically impossible, and partly because the UK government is incompetent.
