    You would have to ask them. From what I know he went in there with the intention of getting UK out of the EU. Probably been paid a tidy sum since then and now has a income from outside of his actual work.

    Anyway, change is good.

    I just see myself as an educator, you may call me a hero I guess, but I'm just a man, a super man but in the end I'm just like you but better.

However as with the internet because of restrictions on low skilled workers it means new opportunities will appear to work on the fruit farms or at Weatherspoons.
    Doooommmmm, Glooooommmmm.

    Fookin snowflake thinking.

    I have a friend in a similar position who is an IT contractor. He and his family are planning to follow the work wherever it goes.
