Firstly, technology has sped up everything we do in life since pre-1970s.

To visit the US for up to 3 months requires an ESTA which can be bought online and lasts for two years. Cost I think. Not difficult.

Working in the US is trickier but so it should be. Apply online and then the only crappy bit was sitting in the US embassy for 2-3 hours to get approved which took 2 minutes. My media visa was for 5 years. Again, it's not a big deal. Does long queues at immigration put people off from visiting or working in the US? NO.

I remember those days, I can only assume you do not.

Visas, long passport queues and most tricky of all currency controls. You could take limited cash with you

Getting to work was difficult and mostly those I remember doing so were au pairs.

As you will know, getting to work in the US for any prolonged period is tricky. Sure it can be done but not easily. Presumably it will be like that.

I can’t really see the complexity, to be honest. And what’s happened over the last two years is solely because we have a government that wats to remain and doesn’t want to implement the referendum result.

Well I managed !!

My view on the Tory party.

I think the behaviour of some of the senior Tories is pretty disgraceful they are putting their personal ambitions ahead of the country.

There are a number of ministers who it is believed hate this deal and yet they have not resigned. There is talk that 5 of them will meet next week and identify changes they would like in the deal (PR exercise).

Of course what is going on is they are dragging this out under the cover of "loyalty to the leader" whilst hoping that the back bencher's stab May in the back. They can then push themselves as the next leader and scrap the deal. They are very aware that he who wields the knife is never the next leader.

Meanwhile the backbenchers are playing their own little game, plenty of hate for the deal but not many letters going in, again because they are "loyal". I wouldn't mind if they were but it is all BS they want her gone.

All this adds up to dragging this affair out because when it comes to it May will not have the numbers. Normally the Tories are good at "getting rid" and we need that now otherwise it will be Christmas and May will still be kicking the can down the road.
