I'm quite certain many folks in the UK will welcome lower salaries, longer working hours, increased house prices, decades of Tory rule for a glorious red white and blue yet strong and stable Brexit.

I would go out on a limb and say that you have never moved to live and work in another country. Red tape, boxes upon boxes of paperwork and most likely visa tied to a specific employer that can use it as a chokehold is not something that a person with average intelligence will pick over the FOM in the rest of the EU. Noone in their right mind, that is highly skilled will come to the UK with a family knowing that he/she might be ejected at will by a bureaucrat trying to achieve migration targets.

I must say it's harder than I thought.

For those eligible for European citizenship, this might be a good argument for getting it.
You can get a significant premium, simply by not being British
Its a sign the UK is doing very well and needs to train more people.
What will happen after Brexit is that the UK will still be doing very well. Though IT will be sold out to give the UK an advantage in other areas. Like the WTO talks for a while.
Ooooops. Sorry about that. I posted something sensible that Bremoaners can't understand. I am tempted to post "feck off you s" as they might just about understand that. It would be nice for us all to work towards giving the UK the best possible future.
Dealing with a Bremoaner is like owning a dog. You want to be friends. Realistically someone is top dog. So you have to beat them with a rolled up newspaper until the message gets through....

Originally posted by AtW View PostTory Scum might just get what they want - big reduction in immigration, starting with those who actually were of great use to this country.
"The honeymoon was barely over before the bickering began. Within a year, Britain was calling for wholesale reform to the common agricultural policy (CAP) and in 1975 Harold Wilson’s Labour government called a referendum.
Seven Labour cabinet ministers campaigned for Brexit then, but an impassioned Margaret Thatcher positively shone for remain, and two-thirds of the country voted to stay. Michael Foot’s Labour party made a breakup with Europe a key plank of its 1983 election platform but was heavily defeated by Thatcher’s still largely pro-European Conservative forces."
Labour today is also keen to support Brexit. There is no significant political party in the UK today who wants the country to stay in the EU.

The Brain Drain: https://www.thelocal.de/20170512/num...er-brexit-vote
Most of these people are highly educated skilled people who would, at some point, return to work in the UK. This is happening across all of Europe not just the places mentioned in the article (Darmstadt is notable in that it is a very hi-tech town which had a very large British community, now slightly reduced, all working in those industries) and the people who are applying for citizenship are people who see the value of working cross border. In the future they will still be able to work cross border, just not so easily in the UK, if they want to work there, that is.
