Bound to happen, we are seeing the same over all the things we take for granted at the moment. Driving licences, passports,potential freedom of movement. etc etc.
The "leave" campaign clearly misrepresented any potential benefits.
As a simple example -how many people from UK live and work in Spain - hundreds of thousands. So that's OK but they cant come here. What a narrow-minded view.
It would be really interesting to see how many of those who own properties in Spain voted to leave EU!
I fully agree about not letting Brussels have too much control over certain things - but to just vote to leave EU was never the best way to resolve that.

There are also a lot of Spanish and Dutch owned British flagged fishing boats out there. Its all a matter of quota hopping, even land locked countries can effectively obtain/steal quotas by registering their boat elsewhere.
I think the UK registration fee is £131 at the moment, hardly seems worth faffing around to register somewhere else to save a few pounds?
The whole quota system is totally broken, it doesn't take into account where the catches are landed. A Spanish owned trawler with a Spanish crew landing the catches in Spain can be counted against our British quotas because the boat is registered in Britain. Does that make any sense?

Unilever HQ staying in UK now. If they had left the UK they would have been removed from the FTSE100 which would reduce the number of potential investors considerably, this was brought to their attention by current investors whose shares would have fallen.
