I can't help but feel this is the calm before the (shit) storm.

My brother (like me) is a UK/EU national. We were both born and bought up in the UK, and consider ourselves "British" before our secondary nationality.

He's been working in the US for a few years now, and noted with interest, that his employer (in an R&D heavy arena) has already started to ask UK employees if they hold another EU nationality. And regardless of their fate, a policy is now running of making it a definite bonus point in two equally-suitable candidates.

Apparently, the talk at conferences suggests this is not isolated - a lot of organisations which work internationally in R&D are preparing for a future where travel to the EU for a UK citizen is beset with visa and immigration woes.

So thanks to Farages hideous pub landlord caricature, UK citizens are rapidly becoming disadvantaged, despite "taking back control".
