Poland and the Czech Republic are doing something very sensible for Brexit

Two more European Union states, Poland and the Czech Republic, have said they are preparing emergency laws to allow Britons to stay to work in their countries legally in the event of a no-deal Brexit. The Czechs say their draft law will mean the estimated 8,000 Britons living in the country are exempt from normal immigration laws until the end of the December 2020. With a 21-month exemption period, it appears to be the most generous of proposals made so far by any member state for Britons settled in the bloc.

Well that'd be nice, but...

However, it will only become effective if the UK reciprocates and guarantees the rights of about 40,000 Czech citizens living in Britain.

And who knows if that will happen ?
