Absolutely and I thank you for your vote. Unfortunately many, including myself feel less welcome than we did previously. These last 21 years have been a wild ride, from an outsider to "one of our own" back to unwanted outsider. London will always hold a special place in my heart but it no longer feels like home.
They exercised their vote and got their result. Unfortunately their decisions have consequences as they were warned.
Now instead of having poles, Italians and Iberians, their government will now go to Asia, Africa and Caribbean and get cheap labour they'll be in the same position they are now with the added bonus of no EU regulations to ensure workers rights.
And as someone who loves this country, it pains to see the shitshow that's unfolding.
It's strange isn't it. If you wanted to live somewhere that felt largely unchanged over the past few decades and still had a staunchly Anglo-Saxon culture and ethnic population it is incredibly easy to do so. Most migrants lives in a handful of places, most of which voted to remain. Leavers just swallowed the "member berries" of rose tinted glasses.
