POST BREXIT: Leave campaigners’ panic, as EU say no to any early negotiation before Article 50

Wynne Edwards

Information has it that some pro-Brexit campaigners are making lawful move against the European Commission and its leader Jean-Claude Juncker.

It takes after his decree that authorities must not take part in any pre-negotiation with the British government about Brexit until it has activated Article 50.

The gathering, which calls itself Fair Deal for Expats, say talks need to start now to lift the vulnerability over the lives of the million or more Brits living in Europe.

Similarly, they have also said EU residents in the UK likewise need to realize what's on the horizon - specifically whether they will be permitted to stay in the nation.

One individual from Fair Deal for Expats, Wynne Edwards, said it alleged that Mr Juncker's prohibition on early dialogs was wrong, unlawful and out of line.

Mr Wynne, a retired solicitor living in France, made this known to Sky News, saying: "Mr Juncker has issued what he calls a presidential order that prohibits the UK from speaking to anyone in the EU, even exchanging documents.

"What that means is that we just don't know what our future holds for us.

"Firstly, we don't know if we're going to be able to stay in the EU or not. If we all had to leave and (our) houses had to be sold, their value would obviously drop because there would be a glut on the market.

"Young families with children who've gone to school and been brought up as French or Spanish or German ... would they have to leave, would they be disrupted?

"Even more importantly, 16 or 17-year-olds ... they are still British subjects ... would they have to leave and be separated from their parents?

"(And) people who are ill and getting treatment in France that they would not have been able to receive in the UK and would have died - what does the future hold for them?"

While speaking, Henry Warwick, a barrister on behalf of the expats, said: "What needs to happen right now is sensible talks taking place about what life holds for millions of people living across the EU who will be affected."

Though Prime Minister Theresa May has said she will trigger Article 50 by the end of March and has warned the EU against trying to expel the 1.2 million Britons living in Europe.
