How to retain my EU "freedom of movement" rights?

[Ozzie Osmond]

Right, we all know UK is "full of foreigners" as a result of EU freedom of movement. Nobody is saying the Poles who are already here will have to go home. Equally you don't have to be a worker to be able to change country. UK hasn't even started the formal exit process.

I want to retain the right to live and work anywhere in the EU. How do I do it?

I'm not in a position to get a job abroad. So far my best thought is to buy a cheap villa in Spain and claim rights as property owner. Any advances on that?

Or how about just wait and then discover that in all likelihood we'll end up like Norway/Iceland/Switzerland/Greenland with no problems travelling to any country.

UK voted "out" because it DOESN'T want freedom of movement. How is Boris going to control EU immigration if he decides to continue to allow EU free movement? Whatever it is, it's not going to be "we can go there but they can't come here".

If simple action taken now can remove the personal risk I consider it sensible to take that action.

Ouch! You can get to USA for £500,000

Some useful points so far - sadly no Irish granny though!

Start looking for Scots ancestors, if Scotland gets it's way. I'm hoping, my granny was born and bred in Glasgow.

Now that's good thinking. Buy a small home in Scotland and nobody is going to be able to prove how much time you have or haven't spent living there because there are no 'plane tickets or passport records. Nice one.

Might even have a chance of winning the contract to add another 15 feet to the height of Hadrian's wall! Nice work if you can get it.
