The failure of the EU to agree with the British Government's proposal for a reciprocal deal for the rights of EU and British citizens abroad ahead of the (likely protracted) Brexit negotiations is causing significant concern for Poles and others who have settled in the UK. As there is an emotional fear that Brexit is a rejection of their contribution to the UK it is imperative that the British Government and people over-compensate for this. We do not believe we should make these people a bargaining chip for the EU as it should be a mutual agreement to also allay the concerns of British nationals living in Europe. Let our voices be heard to tell both sides to implement this agreement immediately and to also negotiate a positive free trade agreement that is in everyone's interests. In 1919 the imposition of Reparations was ineffective and all the UK has done is had a democratic vote so lets put aside demands for E100bn exit payments. UK still needs EU workers so lets agree a quota of visas. And we all benefit from the freest trade as possible - the EU more so as we buy considerably more goods from our European partners,
