Hi TechNerd2020, thank you so much for your edits around BN(O) topics in the light of the recent developments. We need to ensure that information in Wikipedia articles correctly reflects all nuances of any given topics. The announcement that has been made by the UK government is as of yet not much more than a statement of intent with some very high level outlines of a law or regulation that is yet to come. I have therefore redacted the edits to a) indicate that as of now the legal status of BN(O) is unchanged and they remain subject to immigration control, etc. and b) clarify that the announcement is a statement of intent that has no clear implementation date yet. This is likely still subject to the usual political and administrative process. What this will look like in the end and when this will be effective, we just don't know yet. It may be very different in the end. pseudonymJake Brockmantalk02:24, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
