NJS 819 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 It's gone a bit under the radar all this, there's been a bit in the media but it's not made major headlines. Any idea which way your colleagues think it will go?Only really talked to the French lad who was actually born in Cambodia but moved to France when he was a kid to escape Pol Pot! - he's been in the UK 11 years and has thought about citizenship previously but didn't want to spend the 3k it takes. He doesn't know what he's going to do now. Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't know what he's going to do now. I still think there's a fair chance of a deal, but it will depend on Tory MPs outside the major cities letting their heads rule their career ambitions.

Dickie 0 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Well my lass is French so this is understandably causing us some concern. However I also work with two Spanish lads who are horrible pricks of the highest order and I'll be glad to see the back of them. Swings and roundabouts. Link to post Share on other sites
Howmanheyman 4,776 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Can't wait for the cracking deal we're about to get. Worse off with no discernible benefits (even to those who oppose immigration). GREATLike Face nearly said, I love it when a cracking plan comes together. Link to post Share on other sites

I get the feeling it suits them though, Brexit is a way of destroying the welfare state under the guise of 'giving the people what they want'. Link to post Share on other sites
