Americans working in the UK: How easy or legal is it?

I know some countries in the EU have very restrictive laws concerning non-EU citizens trying to work in their countries. But I don't know much about the UK.

Answers:
If you work for more than 6 months you need to have a work permit applied for and issued before you start work in UK. Your employers have to convince the Home Office that they have no alternative but to employ a non-EU person to the post. (i.e. that they could not find an equally qualified or experienced EU citizen). For certain kinds of job - short term stuff, it can be easier. However, it is much les complicated and far more reasonable than the process involved for an EU citizen trying to get a job in the US!
