I agree wit you 100%. I have dual citizenship US and EU, I have National Insurance number and required Worker Registration (which qualified me as high skilled professional) and I am strugling to find job (any job). So I am looking for any opportunity to come back to US. You may not have problems with people but government - that's different story. Entire UK is a police state and responses from government are not only ridicules but take forever, and always contradicting each other. There may be different on continental EU, but entire UK .......leave it blank. Any idea how to come back home without or with little money? That's what come to this point!!! Get the picture? Besides in EU as an US Citizen you can stay legally only for three months - after that you have to move for at least three months outside of EU. American Chamber of Commerce join forcess so you can't even find work in American company because even in American Embassy/Consulate guards are from UK or Scotland. Even if you are legally (with all your papers in order) you are not eligible for anything up to one year. You may be eligible to work in UK but on the same time your wife mau not be - so she have to work semi legally with low paying jobs. In general UK claim to be Democratic, but they still live like ......
Food - you don't want to know - nobody knows what is it!!!! It doesn't smell or taste like any food we know. Even eggs doesn't tate at all. TOTAL DISASTER.
