He can forget that or at least it will be much more difficult to move to the continent if it's an out vote -
That's utter bollox. It was just as easy to live in Cyprus before they joined the EU.Originally posted by Eirikur View PostHe can forget that or at least it will be much more difficult to move to the continent if it's an out voteComment

When you say "much more", why? People have moved too and from this country for ever. I agree, it's easy now, but it was never particularly onerous before, was it?Originally posted by Eirikur View PostHe can forget that or at least it will be much more difficult to move to the continent if it's an out voteComment

If you meet all the requirements. Chances are the EU countries will become more anti-immigration after the current wave and with Britain not being an EU member there's no reason why they should treat us any differently. At the moment we can all apply for contracts in 32 countries without having to do anything; or simply move there and start looking. Post Brexit could mean getting an employer to sponsor you; getting an employer to prove that they can't find anyone local; having to be below a certain age, or having certain qualifications, or in a profession that's on a wanted list, or having to be competent in the language. All things Australia does. Or if you're looking to retire there proving that you have more than enough money to manage without using the local healthcare, or taking houses away from locals. My Dad and his wife could probably never have qualified to retire to France if it wasn't for the EU, and I'm sure I'm not alone in having relatives in that position.Originally posted by Chuck View PostWhen you say "much more", why?

2 million Britons living in EU countries supposedly and although it's unlikely they'll all be kicked out none of them have a right to stay in the event of a Brexit. It can't be a lot of fun making your home somewhere but not knowing how long you'll be allowed to stay.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Im more scared by the consequences of voting to stay than leaving, no one warns about this might mean. I fear it will taken as a open season by the EU bureaucrats to plough ahead regardless, if you think we're taken for granted now just wait until we've effectively given them are asses.
We're negotiating with:
EU President Donald Tusk, together with EU High Representative/Vice-President Mogherini and Commissioners Hahn and Stylanides,
WHo the **** are these people and when did our country bow down on its knees to them requiring permission to change benefits funded by the UK tax payer. Its not like its even our net contribution to the EU being negotiated over.
Im sick of this whole charade, how can any politician paint it as anything other than an insult?Comment
