    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.

    Another EU institution moves out of the UK: Because of Brexit, the EU Youth Orchestra is moving from the UK to Italy - Classic FM

      As will every U.K. musician now. Gone are the days of bands easily packing up a van and touring Europe, they’ll now need working visas for each member state in advance and declarations for their equipment.

      Presumably though this was already in the excruciatingly detailed impact assessments on Culture that the Brexit department provided to parliament before they triggered A50....

      And it’s what the 17.2m voted for, of course. Will of the people.

        Correct. I know a lot of bands in the UK who tour Europe quite often and some remember the old days too. They reckon it's going to be an absolute nightmare for paperwork, only the big name bands will be able to really afford it so another great British export gets buggered up

          Now tell me, is this due to Brexit, or because we are in the EU?

              My sister is loosing her job here in Scotland. A French company. Offer made to relocate in France but she does not want that. 10+ years in a highly specialised job now all going to the way side. There's nothing you can say to console someone in this situation. Wait until it happens to you before some glib remark.

                  why wouldn't she want to move to the EU its a land of milk & honey while the lights flicker here (or that is what a bremainer told me).

                    You forgot Sid who runs the fish & chip shop he retired yesterday, that should be on there with those other "Brexit" losses.



                    I love the smell of desperation in the morning, it smells like ..... Bremoaners!
