There is nothing in there about online wallets in europe suddenly requiring ID to access your own btc. Its basic kyc stuff for exchanges. How will an online wallet service like blockchain know where you are from? A 12 year old could get around that. Why can't we have a rational discussion here without rediculous straw man arguments? And why does everything revert to a brexit argument too? Ugh.

Check this: Tackling terrorist financing risks linked to virtual currencies: to prevent misuse of virtual currencies for money laundering and terrorist financing purposes, the Commission proposes to bring virtual currency exchange platforms and custodian wallet providers under the scope of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive. These entities will have to apply customer due diligence controls when exchanging virtual for real currencies, ending the anonymity associated with such exchanges;

But frankly, it's no big deal. You can still have your own wallet on your own computer, and exchange BTC as you wish with localbitcoins. You just need to understand that doing things anonymously will be a bit more expensive.
