There's a big contract going on somewhere in the UK which requires security clearance and have been contacted about it and offered my services as a consultant part time (the skills are very rare and I just happen to have them but am working elsewhere, hence the offering.) The question is, it requires security clearance and as I'm not resident in the UK albeit a British passport holder would this go against me? If it comes off I'm hoping it will be a remote working thing anyway but was just wondering about non-resident SC status.

Ahem.
If you are an Indian data processing house, then yes, everything will be fine and all will go through on the nod. Data transfer will be by posted USB stick. Otherwise, you have two chances. Fat and slim.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

Thanks for that, just as I thought.
Mind you, what if I showed them my Engerland tattos, would that show that I'm actually okay“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.”Comment

Sorry for being flippant earlier. I just cannot see how someone outside the UK can work with protectively marked material unless on a military or other secure site.
However, if the material is not protectively marked, they merely want cleared people, then maybe it is not a problem. If your skills are so hard to find, it might still be worth a punt.
Suck it and see but don't be hopeful.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
