It's highly doubtful that you could. If you are not a citizen of the EEA (European Economic Area) you would need a work permit, and to get one of those you would need a skill that is in high demand here. You can find all the rules and regulations at this Government Border Agency site... http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/working... You may be able to find somebody who is willing to, and who is licensed to do so, to offer you a position here, but they would have to show that there is no one in the EEA who could do the job.
Citizens of the EEA have precedence where job vacancies are concerned (not our rules, but the monstrosity that has become the EU dictates these laws to us).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
