Beware, do not test the patience of
the Grand Panjandrum. He has spoken and has made it abundantly clear that we can speak freely, so long as nobody gets anxious and we all agree with his viewpoint regarding the law. This is the fourth thread on which his wrath will have fallen. Do not bring their fate onto this thread. Agree abjectly with all he says or face his wrath.
To the other moderators: I take it that the moderating team is like a college, in that decisions are taken by consensus. I suggest that given that some moderators have voiced specific opinions in this thread, that they not be judge and jury in such a forum as well and that any decision to lock this thread be taken by moderators who have not participated in this thread.
The discussion in this thread is necessarily speculative given that there has been no legal documentation that has been published in this matter. I think most people reading this thread are seised of that fact.
However, because there is no legal documentation does not mean that there can not be a discussion. This is an immigration forum, not a legal forum. I suggest to the moderators (as I had
suggested before) that we need space on these forums for a wide-ranging discussion about wider developments in the UK-EU immigration discussions and one that is not confined to the legal situation, as a moderator believes it should be.
I am refraining from contributing to this thread only because my questioning seems to get threads locked pretty snappily (and snappishly).
I am not a lawyer or immigration advisor. My statements/comments do not constitute legal advice. E&OE. Please do not PM me for advice.
