- Brexit - 'cataclysm' for Britons' rights unless negotiations agree otherwise, says EU law prof
But isn't that stating the obvious? The same can be said for the 3-million EU citizens living in the UK.
They will be allowed to stay in the UK, we will acquire the same rights as Americans, et al, who have lived here for 5-years. The very recent arrivals are the negotiating point - perhaps 23rd June will be a cut-off, but I suspect it will be March 2019 when the UK actually leaves.

I wasn't making any points, except that it was there to watch (and still is).
There were some interesting figures from the Director of Social Security that I don't think were previously known. Only 64000 Brits on S!s in France out of a supposed 350K residents, cost if my French was up to it, 90M€ per year. 9000 French S1 holders in the Ukl! Who'd have thought that?
One thing of note that was the statement by the EU law expert that the future status/rights of Brits in France would have to be negotiated against the rights of not French, but EU citizens in the UK.

I should have explained it more carefully, the 90M€ is what the French social security received 2014/15 from the UK for health services for the 64000 UK residents with S1s. There are 9000 French (or possibly Brits who have spent their working life in France) with S1s in the UK, how much the UK charges France for them I didn't catch.
I was surprised at the number of Brits in France without S1s as it is, on the face of it, contrary to the belief that most of us are retirees.
According to Capital, August issue, that carried an extremely tedious and very French examination of six or seven different Brexit scenarios, there are 500,000 French in the UK. But they got their UK/France unemployment percentages the wrong way around in the article, so we should take the figure with a pinch of salt.
