I don't know of what the impact would be nor am I concerned but watching the event was very entertaining. Especially that part where they started waving flags and the EU VP kept asking them to stop doing it. Reminded me of the times in grade-school when the teacher would leave for a while and appoint one of the students to watch over the class.  Grin

The biggest shock for some people will be when they wake up on 31st Jan and realise that nothing has changed. It's absurd, but a lot of people genuinely believe that the 'Brexit date' is a sharp cut-off where Brexit suddenly magically happens, everything is instantly different, and all 'foreigners' leave. I was walking through a market the other day, and I actually heard a woman ask her friend 'Will they be laying on coaches to take them all back home?' There isn't a lot of understanding that a long and tortuous negotiation process lies ahead.

Regardless of whether you are Leave or Remain inclined, the level of ignorance out there is astonishing.

I don't even think that some people they want to leave can even be deported. Many have already been given citizenship.
