Agreed. Reading all the proposed new regs he voted against in the EP, was a v good advert for how necessary the EU is, to this country's best interests.

Great OP.

Exactly. They talk like people are chips. It's Thatcher all over again. But then May has a strong record of heartlessness when it comes to migrants. It's like a race to the bottom in the Tory party at the moment. Who can be the shi\\iest sh/t of all.

Definitely prefer her way with words to yours.

Yes - I am in favour of a new progressive alliance. And stopping the Education for All Bill

Unfortunately apples to Britons in Germany. Nothing like that has been said by any main player here.

"wrong belief that everyone is going to be deported". Yesterday, May confirmed that the status of EU citizens in this country is not guaranteed and it is one of the things that will need to be negotiated.

It's not the person of Farage I have a problem with. It's the whole ideology and movement he stands for. If they replace him with a less appealing (to your inner racist), beer guzzling, totally-faked-common-touch figure, then maybe I could care. Otherwise, meh.

To anyone really "feeling it" - the shock and dislocation of last week, you are not alone. Many feel it with you. https://www.theguardian.com/global/2016/jul/01/susie-orbach-in-therapy-everyone-wants-to-talk-about-brexit

It is important to understand what the strike (which yes, was called for by over 90% of those who voted) is for. It is a last ditch protest against the Education For All Bill, directed at a government which ISN'T LISTENING. A good place to start to read about the Bill is here: https://www.teachers.org.uk/campaigns/white-paper Enough is enough! I have three children in state education and my family is affected by this strike. But i question who in their right mind would be standing with this Tory government against the people who actually devote their working week to teaching and caring for our young children. Support our teachers. Save your anger for the government.

All remainers and all Regrexiteers and all people appalled by the disintegration of our political life should join the lib Dems, who absolutely cannot be blamed and are the only parliamentary party (bar Snp) unified in a commitment to stay. I have always left politics to other people. Now I really feel I can't. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/30/lib-dems-brexit-general-election-eu-referendum-remain?CMP=share_btn_fb

Please would everybody join the Lib Dems and campaign to stop this woman? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-immigration-eu-citizens-theresa-may-uk-a7116971.html%3famp?client=safari#

Blooming heck I only just looked at the fees for citizenship. It is much cheaper to renounce your British citizenship, I see. Part of me would quite like to press that button right now. I really, really don't want to lose my EU citizenship, which I will need if my ex has to move back to Europe with his job, or the children all "migrate" back to his country of birth when they are grown. It makes me so sad and angry. We were told that we were European, growing up - told to tear down borders. And we did. Some of us committed to making the idea of the "European family" the reality of our lives.

THAT - is exactly the right word Midivydale. I am currently going backwards into another stage of shock and.... it is hard to function while everyone else who isn't really affected by it is (you know, falling pound, all that, on a graph, bit remote) debating the relative merits of what different politicians - ALL of whom are responsible for getting us into this mess.

sb, yes - same boat. I am really worried that this is not being talked about. The news (and the Lounge) is all about party politics now. When i am still walking around in a daze, going ???? how can anyone be thinking of anything else. People casually say that Brexit will take years and nothing will happen for months, like that's a good thing. Of douse i do not want it to happen tomorrow. But on the other hand I cannot walk around for years with this level of uncertainty. We are looking at citizenship options but frankly - that feels worse. It's like, suddenly members of my own family need to qualify just for our family to continue. People who are not in our boat talk about citizenship like it was just forms. Its not. Its like feeling you have to...make yourself good enough for this country some how. We have to speak out more about this. Publicly. The politicians have highjacked the debate and are talking nonsense (i.e. about themselves and who is whose leader!!) and ignoring the real issues. Like they did before the vote. It's terrible. I have some resources that enable families in this position to make their voices heard, but i will pm you about that. Anyone please pm me if you want access to these.

Blah Blah, the problem with the idea that Brexit will just go away, and that racism will recede is 1) clearly anti migrant sentiment was always there, it's just more visible now. It won't go. It may go slightly more underground 2) for families like mine whose way of life depends on free movement of persons between EU states, whose children eohld never have been born without that possibility, whose family cohesion depends on that possibility remaining, the idea of just waiting.... We have years and years of uncertainty.

The NUT will strike next week. Affected schools will be closed on Tuesday. Please contact your MP to voice your support for this important action, designed to help bring the nation's attention back to the real problems facing our children, which (in the words of Harriet Harman), "Are the responsibility of this Government, and not the fault of the EU, or of migrants, wherever they are from."

The NUT will strike next week. Affected schools will be closed on Tuesday. If you are a parent or carer, please voice your support for this important action, designed to help bring the nation's attention back to the real problems facing our children, which (in the words of Harriet Harman) "are the responsibility of this Government, and not the fault of the EU, or of migrants, wherever they are from". We should all make arrangements to pool our childcare resources next Tuesday, and to organise activities for our children to do together. It is so important that we enable our teachers to take this action, free from guilt, that they are inconveniencing us, or acting in any way against the interests of our children. It is so important that we stand together at this time. WMxx

I agree that this is shocking. This referendum was such a bad idea. Cameron always said it would tear the country apart. Threaten peace, he said. And he was right. But no wonder people were confused. Since he was right, why did he put the whole thing out to a referendum? Like the pilot of a plane, coming out of his cockpit, asking his passengers, "Should I crash this thing?" Incredibly proud of the young people demonstrating in Westminister this evening.
