The Brexit trap that's closing on Britons who live in Europe

Given it appears to be the EU playing hard ball then, on balance, I take the government's statement as genuine.

We seem to have a lot of contractors making a handsome living in Europe, and presumably paying tax there too, feeling a bit put out about by a decision made by those who still live and work here in the UK. The other side seem to be a lot of contractors who have come to live and work in the UK, presumably because the pay and conditions far outstrip anything offered in their country of birth, giving off too.

How many have contacted their MEP to express their concerns?

For the 'CUK record' I would welcome a reciprocal arrangement as outlined by May in her Lancaster House speech.

Indeed you wanna be Europeans talk to your MEP. About time they did something.

Nigel Farage has said, apparently with no sense of irony whatsoever, that if things go bad post-Brexit, he'll leave the country.
You gotta laugh.

When are you off?

Maybe never. Currently I work from home for clients across Europe - not sure why that would end.
Maybe better to stay here and smugly flaunt my cash as those Brexiters who are less flexibly set up (which is most) suffer for their uninformed decisions.

Wasn't that under the last lot of Tories who didn't give a damn about the people

Why stay in a 3rd world country? It's not even as though the weather is good.

Fair point. You'd have thought I would have remembered that from when I was at school.
