1/ Imagine that as soon as the referendum result the EU announced that it was looking forward to the end of free movement of UK citizens in the EU

2/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those retired Brits in the EU27 could go home
3/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those Brits in the EU could stop driving down wages, taking jobs and stop sending benefits back to the UK
4/ Imagine if the EU said it was looking to use UK citizens as “bargaining chips” to get a better trade deal
5/ Imagine if the EU told UK citizens in the EU27 that they could no longer rely on established legal rights and they would have to apply for a new status which they have to pay for for less rights
6/ Imagine if the EU published over 100 no deal notices and said nothing about UK citizens
7/ Imagine if the EU said it wanted to be Global EU while failing to secure the status of UK citizens in the EU
8/ Imagine if the EU told its own citizens in the UK they will have to make their own arrangements post Brexit
9/Imagine if Juncker, Tusk, Merkel or Macron derided UK citizens in the EU as “citizens of nowhere”
10/ Imagine the EU had scuppered a trade the UK was pushing for because it wanted to limit the ability of Indians to come to the EU
11/ Imagine if the EU then announced a Brexit withdrawal agreement that would stop UK citizens being “queue jumpers” over Indian software developers
12/ Imagine if the UK Parliament still had to vote on the withdrawal agreement after all that bashing of UK citizens
13/ Imagine if the EU wanted to publish a commemorative coin with the words “friendship with all nations” to celebrate Brexit
14/ I imagine the UK would say that was a fucking liberty
15/ Thanks to @GuitarMoog for the inspiration for this thread and for his laser sharp original tweet - see tweet 1
