Originally posted by BlasterBates View Post...and our rights to live and work in Europe, so sure Europe is still there we just can't go there any more.
I have lost the right to randomly go to another European country and expect to be treated the same as if I was in the UK but it is still possible for me to go and work in Europe.
And the same applies to people from all over the world including EU members who wish to come and work in the UK.Comment

It will be as "easy" as going to the US or Japan. How many contracts have you done in the US or Japan ?
You won't be phoning an agent who'll simply place you somewhere in Europe.Last edited by BlasterBates; 22 December 2017, 10:14.I'm alright JackComment

Even amongst the remainers how many have ever harboured any desire to go and live and work in Europe?
Yes many people go on holiday to Europe - that will not change.
And I am pretty sure as long as I am not expecting the state to help or expecting to be able to wore there is nothing really stopping me from buying and living in a property in Europe.Comment

This is not the UK where no-one gives a sh*t once you're there, and the same goes for every other European country except the UK of course.

Europe with the UK as part of it will be limited to Satellite photos, for all other purposes the UK might as well be in the middle of the pacific.I'm alright JackComment

Things tend to sort themselves out in the end, am optimistic it will all be good... when we are older and wiser we will be telling our grandkids how silly we were, and the fuss we made over nothing.Comment
