From what I hear from my friends who like as expats in the UK, things have changed quite a bit. >> why on Earth would you want to move to the UK in the current situation? > substantially higher pay in London than the EU? Not in the academic sector at least - and, compared to the cost of living in London (I worked in Cambridge, but life is not significantly less expensive there) I think salaries e.g. in Germany are competitive.
