I agree - NOT a shot at the expats, many of whom have perfectly valid reasons for being in the UK.
If I were to marry a septic, I would qualify to work in the USA. I would then have as valid a reason to be able to work over there. Until then, I suspect that the US Government would not assist me in avoiding work permit or visa requirements.
Time for a level playing field. I have faxed my MP, MEP and Tony Bleagh.
