    I however still have my EU passport which allows me to move, live and work freely through 27 countries + the UK.
    But hey the Brexiteers have "freedom"
    Work permit in the EU generally requires the hirer to first have advertised the role within the EU (not just in the country; see Universal Jobsearch in the UK and the EU-consolidated jobs database EURES) for 30 days without finding anybody, then issue a job offer to you. With that in hand you can go to that country's embassy in the UK and apply for a work permit and only then go there to work. It has to be on the client's payroll.

    I don't think that the UK will be a target.

    The "governments preparing for war" section of that page is an "interesting read"

UK government will have to raise more taxes which will curb investment and new projects that contractors generally rely on will start to dry up if they haven't already.
    Markets will always try and predict the worst to protect the investors.
    The negotiations with EU won't amount to diddly squat there is already huge distrust between the EU and UK so plan c is to put a few thousand quid on sterling dropping even further , cash in and as the dust settles and pound rises a few thousand on sterling going up.
