    That's been deferred to the second round, however in any case any resident in the Schengen area has the right to go anywhere else in Schengen and work. i.e. a Schengen residency permit is transferable, so I'm not too worried by the fact that I won't be able to work in Bulgaria or Romania
    I'm alright Jack

      I’m not entirely sure that’s correct for what’s been agreed by May. There’s FoM, and perhaps freedom to work, but not to simply move country.

        Sort of, but only in the sense that none of this is a legally binding agreement, only a staging post. It's only an agreement in international and domestic law when the Withdrawal Agreement is enacted, along with the corresponding UK Legislation. But you can see the direction of travel, and it seems a bit weak on UK citizens abroad. Like I say, it would've been more reasonable of the EU to offer the same rights they enjoy now, and I don't mean about free movement, but about benefits etc. (it seems this is now left entirely to domestic legislation in other countries).

          Hmm. Interesting. Britain being the laughing stock on the international scene, the divided society, the lack of any real leadership, are, according to at least one brexiter then, not things to find sad.
          I expected nothing less from a bunch of remainers in gov.

          But this is the only exit that is possible.

          Better to be out than in the USofE.

          But it’s a pretty lousy deal she’s negotiated.

          Would I have voted for brexit to get this?

          Probably not.

            What did you vote Brexit to get, then?

            And was it on the ballot paper, or did you just assume that Teresa May is a mind reader and knew what it was you voted for?

                Good question.

                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
