    Well I think he worked in the UK which is part of Europe. Until we can tow it out into the Atlantic....

    Well done you. I once had an opportunity to work in Germany, but I wasn't allowed to do so via a UK ltd. co, therefore the expenses made that scenario somewhat prohibitive. So I passed on "the wonderful opportunity". The only other time I was approached to work in Europe for an extended period was in France, and I would have had to pay a shedload of the daily to make sure the paperwork was all in proper and acceptable French. I didn't fancy the French tax rates either, but that's probably for a different discussion.

    You're almost right this time... That must be a first!

    I have worked in 14 EU countries all of which had either English as the working language or at least English as a second language. Even if a business is not international, they often choose to work in English to avoid local conflicts in multi-language countries. Eg, Belgium and Switzerland. Many other small businesses are quite happy to communicate English to their workers. The only country that excluded me from contracting with them due to not knowing the local language is Wales. A welsh council stipulated that the IT staff must be welsh speakers.

    Where was that located then?

    Seeing that the rates are generally crap, like.
    Welsh councils have a reputation for racism and mafia like recruitment policies.

    Which would explain why they are even more inefficient than English councils.

    They are however clever enough not to get caught.

    Nope, no second referendum. The UK electorate have voted and now the will of the people must be done regardless of the outcome.
    The only way to kill off Brexit once and for all is to let them have their hard crash out Brexit. Once the idiots who voted for it realise that we were better off inside the EU, we can beg to go back in (on equal terms with everyone else) and start to get on with our lives again. Canceling Brexit now will just give the likes of Farage a platform to spout their lies from forever more.

    Let's have a hard Brexit on 31st Oct

    False

    What’s established is that large Constitutional changes require more than simple majority, 2/3 is sensible norm
