I would just like to gently remind the British government that there are hundreds of thousands of British citizens in work on the European continent, so before they start getting tough on so-called foreign workers they should at least think about us, those British citizens in work abroad. If the British government introduces plans to curb the number of Spanish workers to Britain, then we can expect the same treatment. It is as simple as that. I think it would be a good idea for British politicians to think before they open their mouths. Their speeches on immigration may be well received in Britain, but they will do little to further the career prospects of Britons abroad.

Sara, I was also given work permits but never used them.
Calvia has been trying to "clean up" Magalluf for years, maybe Brexit means it will be impossible to employ British PRs and defiantly curb the illegal ticket sellers. UK has managed to clean up what Spain couldn't
Nightmare scenario? How you like to dramatise. I had work permits for twenty years before Spain joined the EU in 1986, which had to be renewed every two years. I don't remember having any nightmares about them.
Geat real please. In the main British workers who work in Europe ar skilled and are well received, so no problem there. What the British government is talking about is limiting the swathes of unskilled workers from what amounts to almost third world countries ie Romania and Bulgaria spring to mind. Brits abroad are mainly well off and are an asset the reverse is certainly not always true.
