Held to ransom.

If the Amendment before the Lords to allow unconditionally EU nationals to remain in this country is passed, will those in favour of it be equally understanding if the EU says after negotiations start after the invoking of Article 50 that UK citizens living in EU countries will not enjoy the same rights in the countries they have chosen to settle in?

Will they be quite happy if the EU, after Article 50 was triggered, said that it would not agree to equal treatment without a series of concessions on other areas?  

Would they be happy if the UK refused to agree to UK citizens being used as a bartering tool in any such concessions?  

That is what the Amendment will open our citizens up to. Being held to ransom.
