There are a couple of other points not reported by the media about the EMA moving. Part of the agreement that the UK has with the EU to have the EMA in the UK was that the UK would underwrite the lease on their building which means that when they move, the UK have to pay the owners of the lease the balance. The building is leased until 2039 and so it looks like that the taxpayer will be paying in the region of 300m in order to get rid of an agency that the Brexiters no longer want!
Secondly, it is not just the staff working in the EMA that will have to move or leave but each company that wants to sell drugs in the EU requires a person responsible for certain activities and that person tends to have a team. The problem here, is that this responsible person has to be in an EU country, you can see where this is going can't you? Oh dear...“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

That building can and will be put to other use. Those workers can and will get other work. There's plenty out there. And as it appears the EU don't wish to reciprocate the situation where EU citizens can stay over here as long as UK citizens get the same rights in the EU area, there's potentially 4 million people going "home" and 1 million coming home. That's lots of empty houses, and lots of work spaces to fill.
All good where I'm sitting.Comment

As for "coming home, most of the 1 million "over there" are financially independent (property-owning retirees etc), so don't care about benefit rights. The people I know who have property in Europe don't think Brexit will make much difference - it all depends on how vindictive the EU decides to be, though. Guess we'll find out soon enough.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

But she won't, because you're simply making it up about most of them being financially independent. I've seen the documentary "Benidorm", most of them are slackers, crims on the run, or old people with gammy hips that sponge off the state and expect something for nothing.Comment

Originally posted by meridian View PostYawn. It's not the EU being vindictive, it's the UK government not offering to look after its own citizens abroad. Teresa May could quite easily say that she will guarantee to pay for all current and future pensions, hospital treatment, etc for all UK citizens in Europe.
