my advice to anyone is to transcend the whole matter by making one's labour more valuable to the country than the country is to one (my colleague left uk after the brexit vote and doesn't really care, in any conceivable way, about what the current uk government thinks of anything)

"EU born" or "EU"? I have a Russian colleague with French citizenship (naturalised after ten years there), who is an EU citizen as a result, who worked freely, without any restriction in the UK, and now (naturally) in Marseilles.

too true, paradoxically I have great expectations of nige - if he brings the ugly racist agenda underlying much of brexit into the open https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/06/25/the-uncomfortable-question-was-the-brexit-vote-based-on-racism/ and joins the Tory's (he strikes...

Apologies,work intranet has access to ft,ah well,no doubt nige will entertain us soon enough with other attempts at public service

speaking of pigs and your, er, soft spot for thereza, there is this rather good article about very, very hard brexit, her pink dress and Nige as our go to man in washington https://www.ft.com/content/0b4bb092-acae-11e6-9cb3-bb8207902122

great stuff, ive always had a soft spot for pigs http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/16/pigs-can-be-pessimists-find-university-of-lincoln-scientists/ perhaps we just need to give the brexitters some space, straw and bowls of sweets?

incidentally - and feel free to tell me to butt out if this is hijacking the thread - I have an old santa ana that's serviceable, except that it's rack batteries' rack has cracked completely and utterly. does anyone know where one can find a replacement that doesn't have to be imported ion weak...

I'm not sure about that. I think relative deprivation has much to answer for. and Africans suffer from that as much as Europeans, feeling unhappy because they don't have as much as they imagine others do (in another country, city, life). its clichéd but quality of life has little to do with...

funny that, I was simply quoting you, verbatim, simply substituting the right wing for the eu. er, does that make you a fool blocking progress?

funny that, I think the climate is right for a reform of right wing thinking in the uk, and that brexit voters need hitting with a stick, and that brexit is that stick

I'm from a part of Africa where the life expectancy used to be 37 across the board (it's 62 now, mainly due to unlicensed HIV medication provided affordably to government health clinics). but its by way of saying it's a deprived area. but it was always possible to do or become whatever one wants...

i don't mean to sound a complete corbynite - but shouldn't we spend more on education and fair treatment of low income workers across the board. how much of the poor's plight is due to migration and how much is down to lovely lords and tory donors like Philip green robbing them under a tory...

frankly that's a bit rich. By voting brexit you have destroyed much of the UK economy and our as much as your livelihood. That's aside from what you've done to the Maastricht treaty,world stability and democracy. A little contrition would be a good starting point

interesting, this http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/10658266/ron-dennis-relinquishes-role-as-mclaren-chairman-and-chief-executive by the way is very likely part of a paving of the way for a Chinese sovereign wealth fund buyout. now that the pound is weak, many uk assets are relatively...

"mildly detrimental to the uk"? I'm guessing you're on a extraordinary high dose of diazepam and don't read the business news. there is this thing called "the pound". it has been collapsing. speaking of farage, how much evidence and obstructing investigation do you need...

tom's post touched a bit of a chord did it? I'm afraid nothing you can say will stop the electorate from seeing empress brexit means brexit is not wearing any clothes. on the bright side (and apologies for stretching a metaphor) farage is wearing even less.

we didn't vote for nigel to be our democratic government representative. we didn't do this because the majority of the country do not agree with his UKIP agenda. I gather you would like to suspend democracy for the sake of furthering a UKIP agenda. I don't: I would rather live in an impoverished...

team nigel is still at it http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/14/exclusive-donald-trumps-new-chief-strategist-steve-bannon-will-c/ it will be interesting to see how this pans out, more high court decision putting trumped up (awful pun) clown back in his box, or indeed the start of all those...

get used to it

good. you're allowing the prejudice to emerge a little more. very good. less obfuscation. wasn't that painful was it? by the way the rest of that is steaming bs.
