It is sad. A German friend of mine went & posted some pics on facebook. She is a media professional and has lived in the UK for at least 25 years. She was very upset about brexit and considers Britain her home.Re: Brexit protests: Thousands take to streets in London and Rome as EU celebrates 60th a
I guess there are very many people living in various European countries who have made their homes there, many have married in these countries and have families. We have a Spanish friend who has been a teacher in England (London) for 11 years, now she will be returning back to Spain. The reason being she no longer feels comfortable in England, she has had both children and parents making snide remarks. No doubt many other foreign workers now receive the same treatment.Re: Brexit protests: Thousands take to streets in London and Rome as EU celebrates 60th a
Britain will lose more than just workers if these people leave. They are friendly, energetic and vibrant with different views and communication styles (often far more direct) when compared with native Brits. Some come from cultures that are far more extrovert than ours.Re: Brexit protests: Thousands take to streets in London and Rome as EU celebrates 60th a
Interesting post Annie. We have noticed over the years of travelling that British people almost always seem more friendly when they are in a foreign country, perhaps because they are out of their normal comfort zone. Wherever weīve been in the world my aim has always exploring, somewhat foolhardy at times, but Iīm still here. Many times we would return from exploring and other hotel guests would ask where weīd been all day and almost faint when we told them. However more than a few would ask if they could come with us the next day and once weīd introduced them to a few locals, who would take care of them they would be out with their new friends every day. Weīve seen many people who have never left the hotel compound, which makes you wonder why they go there in the first place.Re: Brexit protests: Thousands take to streets in London and Rome as EU celebrates 60th a
That's interesting that you had more help from the Germans than other Brits. I've always found Germans to be very friendly abroad. I think it's just part of their culture to be interested in others and to give advice. I remember being in Berlin in '87 and people would just stare at you. Over here it's impolite but there it's just normal and everyone is curious about everyone else.Re: Brexit protests: Thousands take to streets in London and Rome as EU celebrates 60th a
Yes Annie, the Spanish people we know are all sympathetic towards the British here, but no doubt, like some people perhaps some of the older ones would say good riddance, although I havenīt personally come across anyone saying that.Re: Brexit protests: Thousands take to streets in London and Rome as EU celebrates 60th a
I've just been watching interviews with some of the people who were in the anti brexit march in London. One young man asked an interesting question,Re: Brexit protests: Thousands take to streets in London and Rome as EU celebrates 60th a
It's an interesting legal question. I'm no fan but at least Miller is challenging such issues. Perhaps this will also be challenged in the courts given a decision on EU residency has not yet been discussed in Parliament.
