    Yeah that sucks. Brexit was a completely stupid thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      And the EU complicity in stripping 17m British Europeans of the citizenship that they voted to keep should be more of a scandal than it is. Are people really OK with abandoning millions of Europeans if too many of their compatriots believe Russian- funded social media ads and politicians?

        Yes.

        You can’t make different laws depending on what people voted for. That’s how democracies work, everyone has to deal with what the majority voted for.

          It’s not democracy when basic rights are violated. That’s elected tyranny.

        This isn’t the doing of the EU. It is Britain who has stripped them from the European citizenship.

          The EU could have fought for mind share like they did in other counrries.

        There isn’t enough anger in Britain either from what I can see about people being disenfranchised on the basis of a minority vote (37% of the voting population). Maybe in Scotland there is, but here in southern England it seems nobody is flying the European flag whether literally or metaphorically.
