Will There Be A Mass Influx Of Europeans Into The Uk Before The Welcome Mat Is Removed

Possibly. We'll have to wait and see.
That said the aim was control of the borders, not the chance to stop all EU citizens coming here.

A mass outflux of .ankers perhaps, as London migrates to Frankfurt, Paris and Geneva.

Will all the Euromaniacs move to the continent or are they just incontinent.

I can never quite get my head around anti-London sentiment. It's a bit like people in the old West who were suspicious of the "big cities" and the folk who lived in them...a foreign species. It's one of the greatest cities in the world...be proud of it!

Bit of a knee jerk reaction by our financial institutes and ?ankers. In less than 2 years there might not be a EU to prostitute themselves with. Most Europeans have seen our victory and want 'out' with the independence and self rule that comes with it.

[Old_Geezer]

Perhaps because they stick out as being out of touch with the majority, and then they have a mayor who seems to think the city is better than all the others and should have a place at the Brexit process table when other cities don't. If it looks down it's proboscis at everyone else it can expect some flak in return.

There has reportedly been a surge in British /EU passports in the last year.

Can I get new number plates for my car without that EU thing on them now?

[DTCwordfan]

to me, it comes down to the pace at which other EU nations go for a referendum and all the consequences of those.....

[Hypognosis]

Other European countries should appreciate that they might not be "the 5th biggest economy in the world" before they think about independence. Independence means paying your own bills and no safety net.

Among the flurry of threads was mention that migrants already here are suddenly being made to feel unwelcome and that UK is hostile to foreigners. There may be a hiatus while they think twice about coming and then a rush, to beat whatever deadline there may be.

That said, I feel that migration has a natural speed which just cannot be rushed. The person has to feel comfortable in their level understanding of English and also spent however many months of planning and preparing (and paperwork) it takes to get ready to conduct the legal migration process.

"No entry without a job to go to" is not in force yet, if I understand correctly. If that was part of Cameron's renegotiation, who knows whether that falls into abeyance, now that we're leaving?
