Yeah, but travelling round with the circus and only being required to drive a car with detachable wings and periodically squirt water from a fake flower doesn't really come under the same category as technical specialist.

HTH

Just cause that's what you did doesn't mean it's what I did.

Are you sure your "military experience" in West Germany wasn't as an extra on Octopussy?

I’ve worked in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland and Spain through my UK Ltd without any problem.

The short answer is no. The opportunity to work in the EU (Germany, fwiw) did present itself a few years ago, but the minute it became clear I couldn't use a UK ltd became the minute I decided to drop it like a hot steaming turd.

I guess whoever made it “clear” to you either didn’t know how to do it, or didn’t want to do it.

A bit tetchy tonight are we?

Is what’s being offered not what you wanted?

In fact English language only companies are increasing post Brexit due to the stupidity of the UK leaving the EU.

You really do live up to the stereotype, don't you?

Thicker than a whale omelette!

NL only wants people who 'speak fluent dutch' since 2008, unlike the rest of the EU <apart from belgium, who want dutch, french and english, pay peanuts, and take 60% in tax and SI contrributions>

Absolute rubbish from you again. From first hand experience I can tell you that their are many companies in NL that have English language only policy. In fact English language only companies are increasing post Brexit due to the stupidity of the UK leaving the EU.

Brexiters are a real bunch of selfish c####.

[WTFH]

Once a bell-end, always a bell-end...

So the EU has a f-ing great problem. They won't necessarily get the best candidates, they'll just get the quickest and easiest. Grow a pair.

When I was working in NL it took six to nine months to get a work permit for non-EU citizens. So if there are IT vacancies in Europe and Brits need a work permit, obviously the EU client will not choose Brits.

How many Brexiteers does it take to change a lightbulb?

One to promise a brighter future and the rest to screw it up!

He did, in 2001 and in 2005. We didn't.

No point interrupting a gammon's apoplexy.

Blair? The one who didn't even give us the chance to tell him to sod off via the ballot box?

He did, in 2001 and in 2005. We didn't.

[WTFH]

Just listened to Sammy Wilson, a DUP spokesman, who has not yet seen the agreement, but has said that it is the equivalent of an IRA punishment beating.
...not at all inflammatory...

[darmstadt]

Which is how it should have been in the first place.

Why?

It seems a bit shortsighted to me. Our contracting colleagues are economic units, earning income, paying taxes, spending money in local economies.

Add on top of that the jobbing musicians travelling Europe, the working-in-a-bar backpacker, etc. All you’ve done is restricted opportunities for Brits.

What you have to remember is that mordac and the rest are part of the group that will just say "I had no intention of working in Europe so it means nothing to me this freedom of movement" which is fine but it shows a selfishness in themselves in that they've now stopped others and future generations from doing this. It pretty much shows what a lot of Brexit was about, selfishness and not giving a damn about others
