    Hooray ! Hooray ! We Are On Our Way !

    EU migrants who come to the UK as Brexit nears may not be given the right to stay, David Davis has said.
    The new Brexit secretary told Sky News there might have to be a cut-off point if there was a "surge" in new arrivals.
    But he said setting a date now could in itself prompt a "rush" of people moving before any deadline - and any steps must be compatible with EU law.
    It comes amid pressure on the government to guarantee the right to stay to EU citizens already in the UK.

    Ministers have said it would be "unwise" to fully "guarantee" EU citizens' rights without a reciprocal deal for Britons living in other EU countries.
    'Beat the deadline'
    Mr Davis, who was appointed by the new prime minister, Theresa May, to oversee the negotiations on the UK's exit from the European Union, said he wanted to secure a "generous settlement" for both EU nationals in the UK, and British citizens abroad.
    "We have to do it all together," he told Sky News' Murnaghan programme, saying that this stopped "anybody being used as bargaining counters".
    He added: "If we make a very generous settlement as I'd like to do, then people are going to say, 'Oh but then that'll attract lots more people in because they want to beat the deadline.'
    "And so what I've said is, let's deal with that issue when we come to it. One way of dealing with it could be saying 'Ok, only people who arrived before a certain date get this protection' - there are other ways too.
    "But we've got to do it within the law as it stands because at that point we'll still be within the European Union."

    They should stop from immediate effect all " Working Tax Credit" (Welfare) payments to EU citizens no matter how long they have been here.
    That money handout made them,

    Umm, have you ever considered having an opinion based on reality, or even something close to reality. Does it not embarass that you believe in the kind if fiction that even Enid Blyton would have avoided as being too implausible for 4 year olds?

    You can tell it's a Brexit politician, the post is full of may, would, should, and maybe. Not a single plan or policy. He even says "we'll deal with it when we come to it", what kind of an idiot believes that's the way to run a country?

    FFS, most of us would be ashamed If we had the same attitude to painting the bathroom or tidying up the bedroom.

    In June 2001 UK politicians considering building a 3rd runway.

    July 2016 still no decision on where to build a 3rd runway so it could be 2050 before they decide anything about immigration regulations.
    Fecking bankers the lot of them.

    <sigh> at least now we get to see what the brexiters are really like. It's not like the British people weren't warned. Poor bastards have handed their lives over to the worst scum imaginable.

    You are a miserable old sod and something should be done to prevent you from benefiting from the rewards that Brexit will get for the rest of us. It would awful to see you prosper as a result of the efforts of people who were more forward thinking and braver than you are.

    Ha ha! You're welcome to them, you clueless fucking buffoon. About the only comfort one can take from this catastrophe is the certain knowledge that on average, the imbecilic twats who voted for Brexit are going to have to shoulder a disproportionately large share of the extraordinarily high costs the nation will now have to pay. It's not much but one has to take what one can.

    I see can123 has managed to read something he would like in a content-free message.

    +1 to the politician there then.

    Yes, if we stand up, be proud, pull together, believe in ourselves, sing a happy song, pack up our troubles, hope for the best and prepare for the worst, show some dunkirk spirit and put our noses to the grindstone then there's no need to understand any of that hard mathematical, diplomatic, economic, or political stuff. Right? What could go wrong?

    You forgot "stiff upper lip" and "chin up".
