    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.

    10 years of the backstop should make any surviving gammons see sense.

    I worked in a few European countries and not speaking the local language was never an issue... I guess you are the brainwashed one...

    You mean just like some of us have done and are doing?

    It’s not the EU holding you back, it’s you.

    Nope, no second referendum. The UK electorate have voted and now the will of the people must be done regardless of the outcome.

    Does that sound fair to everyone?

    Everybody happy?

    Good.
    How about a second referendum on banning AtW? He survived the first in 2006 in favour of booting out AndyW. I reckon this time he is a gonna.
