No. The rhetoric and threats are off the scale for both sides at the moment. What gets missed in the (profitable) news din is that UK Gov has all but guaranteed EU folk can stay in the country as before.
This has been reiterated since day one. EU citizens will have a right to stay and UK Gov will do absolutely everything they can to see that through. The only reason they cannot put it to paper yet is they are waiting for reciprocacy from the EU.
Once the EU agrees to provide UK in EU with exactly the same rights as the UK is offering them, it will go down in law.
There is so much bluster and threats from all sides. It takes a bit of digging and close examination to see what really is being said and offered.
