    But it's an imposition from the UK, not the other way around.
    Are you using British humour?

    Debt will command higher interest rates as more risk is ascribed to an independent UK, and immigrants from Europe will be replaced with workers from the Indian subcontinent and Africa, who may be willing to accept “substantially” lower pay, he said.
    I don't understand this, why, why, why....

    Brexit means Brexit, or in other words - train crash where the only survivors will be in the 1st Class.

    “The slightly sad thing is the people who voted for Brexit aren’t the people who are going to have to make these sacrifices,” Hands said. “That’s not unusual for big, political decisions when people don’t fully analyse what the economic consequences are.”
    ...
    “Sadly, and this is always one of the strange things about business, I think it’s probably a bad thing for the majority of people and bad for the country, but I think, for my business, it’s probably going to be good,”

    More sunshine, more exercise and less Michelin restaurants might be a good idea mate....

    If you like sitting in traffic jams for a couple of hours to get two and from work, and ensuring you have a credit card with enough money to pay your air fare back to the UK if you have a serious illness.

    Donald Trump and Theresa May wants to cut the immigration, what you may see on the news regarding the free moment it's a lie.

    Free movement = Stay where you are.

    "There are around 230,000 people born in North America aged between 16 and 64 living in Britain. The British population in the USA has been estimated at 700,000.
    The USA will soon begin complaining that they are FLOODED with cheap labour from the UK, undercutting US citizens.

    I work there quite a bit, in fact I'm meant to be there this week but postponed it for a few weeks. Luckily I work for a small technology company so the environment is quite laid back but a lot of work is put in.
