"Whether it’s access to healthcare, pensions or the right to work on the continent, how will the UK’s withdrawal from the EU affect the finances of the 1.3 million Britons living in Europe? Louise Cooper and a panel of guests discuss what might happen to expats' rights, whatever the outcome of Brexit negotiations".

Letter to the Editor, Daily Telegraph, 7 November, 2018:

Expats will be sacked

SIR – In the discussions about Brexit, one category of people seems to have been forgotten. Many of the 900,000 British expats in Europe work as civil servants. Until now, our status as European citizens has allowed us the same access to jobs as French citizens...in the event of a "no deal" situation all non-French nationals will lose their jobs on March 29 2019...", Julian Marshall.



A controversial Remainer's attempt to explain Brexit to the Germans and other Europeans, by  Anthony Barnett, Eurozine

"Brexit has been driven by an English nationalism combined with extreme globalization – but also by EU overreach, writes openDemocracy co-founder Anthony Barnett. A second referendum is hypothetical at best and a different result far from certain".
