So far then Brexit is suiting me just fine, if it means less competition from overseas contractors resident in the UK.
(Nothing against them personally whatever, but I put my own needs first.)Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

It isn't the EU who decides who we can or can't let in.
It isn't the EU who decides who gets or doesn't get housing or free healthcare
The UK Home Secretary is in charge of out borders, not the EU
The UK Health Secretary is in charge of who pays what for the NHS. The EHIC doesn't give people free healthcare. In some countries you pay for it.
So, why was the EU blamed for failures of the UK government?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostI'm not sure that is entirely true. The rules of the club do say things about the rights of EU citizens who work in the UK. There was of course plenty the UK could have done to control immigration of non-EU citizens and also some significant changes that could have been made around EU citizens.
However there was nothing stopping the government consulting it's lawyers to make the restrictions make sense."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
