It's not illegal in some parts of the EU, but it's only a matter of time before the apparatchiks dip their hands in that particular aspect of our lives. Your grammar is a total pile of ******* **** btw. Much like your witty put-downs.

Use of "your" instead of "you're" is not a grammatical error, you ignoramus. It's a spelling mistake.

I've changed the poll to private - no need to make these things public, is there?

Some people like to keep themselves to themselves, don't they rogerfederer?

Thank you for doing that.

Having not set up a poll before I suggest it is worthwhile removing the 'public' option. I took this to mean any poster can view the poll, rather than it publishing the details of who has voted and in which regard. I was also unable to edit the poll once it was posted, even whilst it had no votes.

[rogerfederer]

I would have voted "No, everything will work itself out, and the UK will eventually be better off after Brexit" but you didn't include it as an option. On the other hand, if we end up with a Corbyn government, I'd be seriously considering my options.
If you're thinking of moving to France, you'd better start learning French, and be prepared for the bureaucracy, which will be far worse than anything you can imagine.

I think most people aware of the complexities of word choice are suspicious of phrases such as "better off". If you suggest something intangible and fluid is a gain here then you can always achieve it.

Are you a middle manager?

Most people will be worse off in monetary terms and the current projects we enjoy tackling together are going to nosedive in numbers. Not good for contractors.

The international desire for trade with the UK is collectively not there. This is the real issue. True contractors have to travel for the best projects and the highest rates. For me, I will move abroad on a temporary basis until the tide has turned and things improve. It is with good reason most of the highest paid contractors I know are skeptical of brexit and have a plan B in place to move within the next year. It seems logical to me. Just interested to see what others think.

Had to google Apparatchiks and found out that its a member of the Russian communist party.

Dont get angry with your leaders Mordac they will send you to Siberia on a web scraping course for 10 years.

(By the way shouldn't you have spelt Apparatchiks with a capital as it's a name?)

I was using European English OPM I'm finding that British English is starting to die out.

democracy in action Cojak style or Putin?

Secret ballots, so people can vote without fear? I'm sure Putin is totally in favour of those.
