B-Day -8

Parliament fiddles on, gnashing teeth at the fate of the parties, while the last vestiges of the once great Empire is inches away from the gunpowder. And on both sides rhetoric suggests both the GB voters and the EU are fed up with the posturing, delays, and Parliament's inability to get anything substantive done.

As I write MPs are drafting a letter to send to the EU requesting an extension, though they are currently debating if it should be a short extension or a long extension. Indications are that May will not agree to request a long extension.

The timeline is as such -- Parliament sends the letter to May (today?), who approves and tweaks and sends the request to the EU (today?). Then the EU will meet (March 22, Thursday) to discuss and vote on the request -- which must be approved by 100% of members. How often does THAT happen?

Regarding my burning question, I've found information online that GB expects Visas will be required for Europeans who want to work in GB after Brexit, following "the same visa rules as other migrants". Diplomacy being tit for tat, I can assume that the EU will follow with a reciprocal regulation in short order. Which theoretically puts me on a level playing field with GB teachers of English - potentially opening the door to Visa opportunities.

Will the timing of these Visa requirements work for me in the short term?

Will the GB voters ever understand the destruction they have wrought?

Will the EU throw a pie in GB's face?

Tune in again next time to find out!
