I would expect it to become a lot harder for anyone here to go and work in the EU, as it was when I first did it in 1972: it took me four months to get a visa and work permit, for a job as an assistant in a youth hostel.

Leave have not thought through the consequences of their actions (or they have and they don't care). And at the moment the law is so stringent such that touring bands from Senegal, Mali and other West African countries find their tours cancelled by the Home Office under anti-immigration. Some big names have fallen foul of this.

twodogs Feb 2016 8:54pm, 24 Feb 2016 1,940 posts	Quote Pin twodogs Having read some of this thread (no not all) I can honestly say I have no idea how this vote will go. I work in a team of 8 of which 3 are voting to go. The rest of us including me are undecided. It will be interesting to see how the papers go on this as they will have a major say I feel. As for Trump please don't give him the launch codes!!!!
