the UK Embassy would continue to work with the Hungarian authorities to make sure that the rights of all UK nationals in Hungary are observed.

The UK ambassadorship to Hungary is a popular diplomatic post to apply for among UK diplomats, although the requirement to learn Hungarian does put a few would be applicants off. The reasons it is popular are because a) the job comes with a very nice house (better than many UK ambassadorial residences elsewhere), b) there is virtually no work to do here so it’s a cushy pre-retirement number, just lots of socialising and c) it’s a short flight home to see friends and family.
