Re: British & European citizens post Brexit
I believe the Guardian reported on that too here: Match offer made by the EU
I don't know how correct that article is, but the suggestion that the UK will keep free movement of EU nationals post brexit is, I believe, somewhat bizarre. After all, isn't the prevention of free movement of people one of the main points argued by the leavers pre-referendum, however one argues what was meant by that?

Brexit isn't so much about getting rid of foreigners as having control over the flow. A proposal that granted immediate right to remain to any EU national who was resident at A50 would have been reasonable and straightforward in my view. I think the EU is suggesting that the qualifying period should be up until formal departure in 2019, but that seems ill thought out, as it would surely generate a rush of people seeking to establish dual residency rights before a deadline.

But a closer analogy would be Delaware declaring independence from the USA and guaranteeing certain rights to citizens of the other 49 states but then adding that the final court of appeal on implementing those rights would be the highest court in Delaware, not the US Supreme Court.

Re: British & European citizens post Brexit
And yet May is the only one being vilified in the national press. Why is that?
Either side can guarantee rights unilaterally. Mrs May wanted a reciprocal deal but that was rejected as the EU would only discuss the rights of British citizens resident elsewhere in the EU (and by the same token their own citizens resident in the UK) as part of the entire Brexit deal. It's strange that when the EU refuses to guarantee citizens' rights then that's a perfectly reasonable negotiating stance whereas the UK does the same they're turning people 'into bargaining chips'.

I agree there were a lot of EU people wanting to move to the UK. That was pre-xenophobia era.
On the other hand, the UK Government said a year ago, that we would be out of the EU in 2 years. A year later we are not that much closer to being organized. Where are all these global trade agreements?

But hopefully won't come to this at all. Hopefully as the genuine issues in Brexit become increasingly exposed, public mood will shift to the point where a pseudo-Brexit can be engineered, and we can all keep calm and carry on.

The UK can't negotiate any FTAs of its own whilst we are members of the EU hence one of the main advantages of leaving.
