I think its possibly coming from an angle that many prominent orangemen ie Ian Paisley etc were quite openly homophobic, the whole save ulster from sodomy campaign.

I never knew William of Orange was a homosexual, but if he was then yes I appreciate the irony of an organisation with many vocally homophobic leaders choosing to ignore the fact. The hypocrisy of the bigots, however, is not surprising.

The right of EU citizens to remain in the UK post Brexit is protected by the Vienna Convention. 

 

Leading Leave campaigners made that clear - http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/may/15/eu-citizens-uk-brexit-uncertainty-immigration-status-referendum

 

"Asked by the Guardian last week whether he could guarantee EU citizens would be allowed to stay, Boris Johnson, the former London mayor and leading leave campaigner, said everyone who was already in the UK would have the right to remain.

 

Gisela Stuart, the chair of the Vote Leave campaign, said: “You have got the Vienna convention, which guarantees the rights of existing citizens and existing arrangements.†The Vienna convention protects the acquired rights of individuals in situations of treaty change.

 

"Peter Bone, a Conservative MP and co-founder of leave campaign group Grassroots Out, told the PoliticsHome website: “Clearly any EU citizen that is legally here if we come out of the EU would absolutely have the right to remain here. Any other suggestion is just absurd."

Well that's fine then because the Leavers never told any lies during the campaign. No sir. Not even a little one.

Both sides told lies during the campaign. Lying is part of politics. Ministers and MPs say that they support policies that they opposed in private. Ministers are bound by "collective responsibility" (the so-called payroll vote) and rebellious MPs get threatened or bribed by the Whips so that they toe the line.

I accept all that. Just makes Peter Bone's 'assurances' meaningless.

Why pick out Peter Bone alone? Johnson and Carswell made similar comments. They were rebutting scaremongering claims (or lies) by the Remain campaign.

 

The Guardian journalist agreed that EU citizens' right to remain in the UK, even post Brexit, are protected by the Vienna Convention of the UN.
