Graeme Wall remarked:

I'm not sure what debating point that is - but it's undeniable that the
main driver for the Leave campaign was immigration, I think they thought
"leave" meant "now all the EU immigrants have to leave".

Too many thinks it means *all* immigrants have to leave, now.

That was never going to happen because the majority have either
permanent residency papers, have naturalised as UK citizens, or are on
some form of work visa which means they'd be leaving at the end of their
secondment anyway.

What's different about the EU workers is they don't need any permission
to arrive, or to stay, any more than the Scots currently do to live in
London, and vice versa. It's that "permissionless" stay which has the
prospect of being annulled, although I doubt it will be applied
retrospectively to people who arrive before whenever the Brexit happens
in ~2.5yrs
