Patrick Newman never replies when he is pulled on the crap he writes. It seems to me that it was only the West Indians who never bothered to fill the forms out because they were too laid back that were effected. Asians I know and employ were and are punctilious in getting the paperwork done. Nothing to see, move along.

Some of the EU workers may be here temporarily. Some may not be eligible to stay. Many may be eligible to stay. But who are ‘they’.

Can’t see any way around the issue of who gets settled status other than to make the individuals concerned apply.

There are certainly issues, but that only 1/4 have applied can’t be blamed on the government.

So what is going on? Why is that question not being addressed?

Don’t tell me that they don’t know about it, there is not a rock big enough for them to all live on. Don’t tell me that they are all computer illiterate?

It is obvious from the above comments and from previous ones that these two are not Labour supporters but exiles from UKIP/BNP/EDL and are more at home on Guido!

Sensible comment from Tom Sacold and, as usual, a silly one from Patrick Newman. Newman reminds of those immature Trots I used to come across in the 70’s who were always demanding revolution now! If you disagreed with them on any point however minor you were a virtual fascist.

They are citizens of their own country.

If they are long-term residents here let them apply for British citizenship in the normal way.

I’m still trying to work out what this Windrush disaster was. Ok, I give up. What was it?

I am surprised Farage and the Brexit Party have not called for the repatriation of all EU citizens. Their prime motivation appears to be to stop Johnny foreigner from coming to the UK!

So what are your costings for this?

The current cost is 30 bn a year.

Whose going to pay?

Do they have a choice?

If they don’t pay will you jail them, confiscate their assets etc?

When you for others to pay, that means austerity else where. What are you proposing gets cut to fund this?
