    Well it certainly proves popular with huge swathes of both EU nationals, and workers from much further afoot too.
    And all we need to do in return it seems is send a few of our unwanted retards to backwaters like Switzerland and Germany.

    To allow the continuous functioning of the single passporting system applicable to the UK, since it is an important prerequisite for financial operations, including instalment sales, in the EU. If Japanese financial institutions are unable to maintain the single passport obtained in the UK, they would face difficulties in their business operations in the EU and might have to acquire corporate status within the EU anew and obtain the passport again, or to relocate their operations from the UK to existing establishments in the EU.
    Well it doesn't become any more planer than that.

    Dear 'imaginary person insert here' can you foresee the endless lawsuits and suing of British Ltd's when Bartholomew Junior slips on a Cadbury's Smarties? Missed a class this morning as a result and ruined my chances of entering law school. Full compensation! And of course the UK Ltds will pay until bankruptcy.

    Take about getting into bed with the wrong sort.

    It would be extremely funny if they were all forced to come back.
    I'd wager they would soon displace the bottom feeders like vetran, woohoo, original PM and the like who would be forced out.
    Hard Brexit now, how I would laugh
    And here it is in all it's unexpurgated glory. The view from the Dunce's corner.

Anyway he has to come home to mummy at the weekends. Even SS and Darmy can make some sort of life out there.
