Isn't that how it works in other countries though? Companies just have to show they've tried to recruit for a position in their own country and failed, and people can move there to work after getting a job offer, which is much better than allowing people in to look for jobs.

Back in the 60s Britain hadn't just walked away from the EU citing hostility towards European immigration as the main reason. The Germans might not be so hospitable in the future as they were back in the 60s.

If you are going to allow people to visit for 3 month on holiday then how do you prevent them applying for jobs or being offered one while they were here? Would an EU citizen working here under your system be allowed to change jobs while here or would they be tied (indentured) to a particular employer?

Definitely - the uncertainty is the worst bit! At least if we knew 100% what would happen, we could all start making plans for what we wanted to or had to do!

Well Theresa May did ask the EU to guarantee UK rights for those already living and working elsewhere in the EU so she could guarantee EU citizens rights for those here and the EU has refused out of hand, silly really as that can be handled before Article 50 or any negotiations.

What's annoying is that all the elderly people who voted Leave would have no interest in moving to, or working in Europe. They've selfishly screwed up opportunities for younger people.
It's what people used to use before they thought that doing whatever they wanted without question was a human right. |

Asylum seekers are not allowed to gain employment but people have been opening up spare rooms to them in my local region. It was on the news

Not sure if you were being sarcastic re: working in a bar?
Wanted to teach actually (hence my username, I teach A levels here in the UK) - wanted to work abroad for a few years for the experience and to learn a bit more of one of the foreign languages I've studied - so it wouldn't be IMPOSSIBLE without free movement but would definitely be more difficult. Edited to add: Ha, I'm being a bit slow (too much xmas food the last few days) - yes, I get the slant here now ![]() |

Certainly it's a generalisation but when I look around at people I know, it's mainly the older generation who voted Leave. I'm older than you and voted Remain but unfortunately we are very much in the minority who voted to remain in our age group.

Personally I'm gutted as I wanted to work abroad in the future and not to have the stress over visas, work permits and them running out after a year and needing to leave and head home if I can't find another job straight away.
So what do people think will happen? Working in IT I've had three jobs outside the UK / in the EU and interviewed for a couple more over the years. All were as far as I recall advertised on the basis of do not apply if you don't already have the right to work here. If associate citizenship is offered then I'd still have the chance at those roles. If it was at the sponsorship end then I doubt they would have finished reading my covering letter let alone my CV. So depending on how it falls the market available to me will likely shrink in two years time. The upside for me however is day rates for my role in Frankfurt say have doubled in the last six months as the end of A90 will be a like a mini Y2K. On balance Ill take that If you're in the position to do it - I'd say do it now. |

Britain hasn't walked away now citing immigration as the main reason. That was one of the reasons for some. Other reasons are regaining control of your sovereignty. I know it's hard for you Irish to grasp because since joining the Euro, you have none.

I thought the EU was going to allow UK citizens to apply for EU citizenship post-Brexit despite of course not being able to enter into negotiations before A50 is invoked.

Ireland fought for centuries to be a truly free and independent nation from the UK. And after all that in the space of 15 years it has just been relegated to a German province with a German currency, interest rates set by Germany (cos the ECB is run in their interests as they bankroll it), has experienced huge austerity as a result and subject to foreign regulation. It's only thanks to the UK they aren't in Schengen so still have some border controls.

That was a silly idea from the EU Lib Dems - it's unworkable and going nowhere as it would inevitably have to be reciprocal which would mean that we were still effectively in the EU.

The EU parliament afaik I know passed it and there was I believe no reciprocal arrangement attached to it. It made the EU's refusal to discuss the position of UK/EU citizens living either side of the Channel post Brexit even more silly.
It would require a treaty change and all 27 nations to sign up. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...ce-say-experts |

Of course they were being sarcastic. The word indigenous population was proof, since they are no indigenous British Celts left after mixing with the saxons, normans, French, Romans, etc, etc. Plus you could also tell that they were having a giraffe with the comment about 'taking their jobs ' when they were unemployed. They are unemployed then they have not got a job to take. Plus it wasn't very progressive
The vast majority of us are descended from the pre roman Celtic inhabitants. The Romans, Normans, Huguenots etc etc... left very little genetic evidence that they were even here. The Saxons, Angles, Vikings etc .. made a larger impact, but the original indigenous population is still the main ingredient of what makes us who we are today. |
