Look, I have already told you: People voted for Brexit on the basis of how it affects THEIR lives/world. You have absolutely no right at all to expect them to vote on the basis of how it affects YOURS, unless you are undertaking to equally share all the benefits that accrue by that decision. And the reality is that the people who benefit by remaining in the EU had absolutely no intention of doing that, that wanted the downtrodden to vote to remain so that that could keep all the extra jam it created for themselves. - Greedy *******s! tim |

Jul 2016, Neil Williams remarked: You can have free movement of researchers between universities, with contracts in place, without having free movement of unemployed people looking to be bus drivers, plumbers or whatever. It isn't[1] all or nothing. You can't have a scheme like that without being policed by visas, work permits, or whatever. At which point it's not "free movement" in the normal EU sense. -- Roland Perry |

Look, I have already told you: People voted for Brexit on the basis of how it affects THEIR lives/world. How they were told it would affect their lives, not the reality. They refused to believe what they were told in this post-truth world of politics. See Cornwall and Wales asking to keep their EU subsidies just after they voted to lose them, for example. You have absolutely no right at all to expect them to vote on the basis of how it affects YOURS, unless you are undertaking to equally share all the benefits that accrue by that decision. I'm not. I'm expecting them not to vote for national suicide.

The whole country will be worse off if we leave the EU. It is already worse off in anticipation of that happening. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

A work permit is still required to work in Switzerland for more than a few months, despite it being part of the freedom of movement treaties (for now).
