If anyone tells you Brexit is the will of the people, please show them this thread...

"A dictator does not need to follow the will of the majority. He must however have the ability to use the WILL OF THE PEOPLE."

~ Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany. Image "[Fascism] is opposed to classical Liberalism [...] which brought its historical purpose to an end when the State was transformed into the conscience and WILL OF THE PEOPLE."

~ Benito Mussolini, founder of fascism. Image

Here's the thing. I'm a UK-based freelancer. EU27 clients, who for years accounted for 95% of my income as a translator, are simply no longer approaching me. I used to receive 10-20 approaches per week and I built my career on this core demand for my services. And why would they contact me now? They have no idea what doing business with me will involve from March 2019. There are hundreds or possibly thousands of translators in my language pair resident in the EU. It's simpler just to switch to them.
