Anyone facing the prospect of uprooting their family due to the EURef result?

Agreed, thought it'squite hard to explain this feeling. And applying for citizenship is not exactly cheap either!

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.

Please would everybody join the Lib Dems and campaign to stop this woman?

I have recently joined the lib dem on the grounds of the above, thank you for posting WM.

[WorkingMummy]

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.

Oh dear, wondered why I've suddenly had lib/dem leaflets through the letterbox earlier today.

That Theresa May statement - I know it's a negotiation ploy, but I do feel horrible for being a pawn in this, essentially...

[midivydale]

That is it, pawns and collateral damage. Farage has now resigned

[mima08]

They are talking about this on Radio 2 just now

[WorkingMummy]

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.
