Not just in Germany, I know quite a few British people across Europe applying for citizenship where they live and work and plenty of British people in the UK who are looking to move now...As you can see by much of the incomprehensible and the just downright idiotic postings on this forum, it really does look like the UK is seeing brain drain

You can post here online from abroad you know. It doesn't need a stamp and an envelope each time.

No wonder so many of your letters to the CUK forum have been going missing, or returned "not known at this address"!

Makes me laugh that people are so isolationist. Didn't you think that many of these people would have liked to have returned to the UK at some point but now see no future for it? The majority of these people are highly educated professionals who want to broaden their working experience by using their freedom of movement to work in other countries and then, maybe one day, bring this experience to bear working for a UK company in the UK. Obviously now, the countries in the EU will profit from this knowledge base, sad being an isolationist really...

Yes, and they are more than welcome to come home as far as I am concerned. But let's not dress this up too much. Most people bu66er off because they already see better £ - being contractors and all. It's not for altruistic reasons that they leave or return.

I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm, and to outlive the menace of EU tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.
At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of Her Majesty's Government – every one of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation.
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the EU and all the odious apparatus of Brussels rule, we shall not flag or fail

I'm surprised you have wi-fi in Mrs. Higginbothams guest house with the avocado bathroom down the hall, while ekeing out your contract as 1st line support for Arse-end-of-nowhere Council.

Just makes me chuckle. All this moaning by people that have already decided that the UK wasn't for them.

Yes of course it will have a price, Norway for instance pays a huge sum of money to the EU, not discounted like the present UK arrangement



We will end up paying high fees and having no say at all in the EEA regulations !!

Isolationist jingoistic belief personified in two neatly sized paragraphs.

Furthermore many of those UK expats are high worth individuals, CEO's of major companies. One of them I know, a director for the EU arm of a Japanese company. At some point or another the money flowing into the UK will water down to such an extent people will hardly believe the compromises they must make for their day to day needs. In fact it is probably already happening.

[darmstadt]

Are you saying they are 'Drained Brains?'

Nope, that's the future UK workforce although I suspect that it will probably be managed by non-EU migrants

This means that Poland was suffering as everyone of any substance had fecked off. It has happened in Ireland multiple times and can even happen in the UK.

Ahh so it that why I moved to work in Germany..

You were too tulip for Poland?

[scooterscot]

To be fair during the mid-2000s I was told by a Polish colleague that "Only the sh*t was left back in Poland" In other words anyone of working age who had some skills and/or get up and go had gone abroad to work. This means that Poland was suffering as everyone of any substance had fecked off. It has happened in Ireland multiple times and can even happen in the UK.
