For me its very important to know what the situation is going be with regards to freedom of movement as it could determine whether I have to return to the UK, take German nationality, apply for working and residential visas etc.

Even the issue of taking German nationality is not a simple one. Germany doesn't normally allow dual-nationality. There is an exception for EU members where they will allow you to keep dual nationality for 1 other EU country. So as things stand I can take German nationality and keep my British nationality which is something I could live with. But what happens when the UK leaves is completely unknown - will my dual nationality still be recognised or will I have to give up my British nationality? Something I could not live with!
So we are saying that we don't know what is going to happen?

Who would of thought

Indeed, it could be exactly the same, but it could be worse. It won't be better, though.

For what he was talking about, we currently have dual nationality options and totally free movement of people and residency. Exactly how much better can that be? Are they going to offer free money and dancing girls?

We are back to the question of how do we know?

AGAIN!

We offer free money to elements of society that have done **** all as a contribution to the UK Plc coffers, so no change.
Dancing girls are ten-a-penny on a Saturday night in most cities and towns too (in South Wales anyway ).

I am being flippant but you see the point.

you half expect us to turn up to the negotiations in a battered old Pajero (no MOT / Insurance - that's for mugs) towing a caravan

to all but the most deluded it must be becoming clear that the Government have not got a scoobydoo what they are doing

hopelessly at sea

you hear news reporters talking of senior ministers having a "reality check"

What must this obvious drift look like to the UK's large international businesses who demand certainty and stability

their huff and bluster continually hitting the hard rocks of reality

their simple inability to offer certainties that businesses require

laughably promising stuff that is simply not in their gift to promsie

I wonder which one will be the first to say enough is enough - and push the "relocate" button

It's not the nationality, it's the number which is the problem.

The numbers were 650k people, but 'only' 284k were from the EU, so considering the UK government is in control of its borders for non EU nationals, what does that tell you about how well they will control immigration post EU?

I bet most will be working in real jobs, paying tax and contributing in a few months too. The remainder are likely to be refugee's (a bit like the Jew's in WW2) or Commonwealth people.
