I’m an EU citizen living in the UK, so I’m personally devastated about the referendum result. Thank you so much for doing this AMA!

My question: I’ve heard from some people that it will be really hard for the UK to legally get away with taking away any rights of EU citizens who already live in the UK. From what I’ve heard, there may be a deadline and everyone who came before the deadline will keep the right to stay and work in the UK that they had before Brexit. Theresa May’s remarks on this obviously speak a different language.

What is your take on this, from a European law perspective? Can we be reasonably confident that EU citizens currently already in the UK will fully and indefinitely keep their right to live and work in the UK? Would the British government lose a case in Strasbourg?

I see that his suggestion is a bit funny, I don't really see what it's to do with "SJWs"?

Thank you. I'm German though.

Very helpful, thank you. I might, but it'll be a while until I can, because I've lived here for 6 years overall, but with an interruption after year 5.

Also, I'd rather not have to choose between UK and EU citizenship. Partly because I've made decisions in my life not thinking that those two would conflict. I'm hoping that part of the deal will be the option of dual citizenship for both Brits in the EU and EU citizens who are already here. (Currently, I wouldn't have that option.)
