(Negotiating separate arrangements is an unbelievably difficult and lengthy business.) Flow of labour should not be an insurmountable problem - we already have work visas to fill our labour needs with those from outside the EU (not to mention our youth mobility provisions), and EU nationals can be included. Other countries also operate such provisions and they are of course applicable re graduate employment should graduate opportunities not be filled by nationals and residents. bootless tishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433731063537275038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-59662070666227181642017-02-14T03:20:39.968+00:002017-02-14T03:20:39.968+00:00Anne, I don't think the problem will be the fl...Anne, I don't think the problem will be the flow of goods, but rather the flow of labor. Will Britons be willing to fill the low-paid jobs -- cleaning, nursing aides and the like -- now done by Eastern Europeans? And will Britain be able to create enough well-paid jobs for its population of university graduates, many of whom are now employed elsewhere in the EU?

I voted Remain largely for economic and geo-political reasons but can sympathise with the revulsion against the liberal 'theft' of 'the truth' felt by many Brexiteers and this has helped me keep my Brexit friends thankfully. For many it's an either/or choice regrettably.Guy Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304053177188950094noreply@blogger.com
