Brexit was fuelled by fear and hate...that should not
Politicians would do or say what is needed to "please"people... even if that means incentivizing racism,xenophobia or the marginalization of one part of the population.. just looking for their own objectives and agenda. To reach a position of leadership.
Theresa May's recent message regarding EU citizens rights in UK is unsettling for any person with a minimum of conscience. European citizens living in Britain don't deserve this kind of treatment. I mean this is reinforcing the ugly and false message that gave the edge to leave side, in the EU referendum.
What gave the "victory" to Brexit was not a democratic conscience... but was in fact the other way around.. the lack of it. The majority of people knew very little about EU, besides the crazy idea the EU was ruling their lives and that the foreigners were taking their jobs. The process of brainwashing here in UK has been massive. Government and certain politic groups used EU and foreigners as escape goat in a way to keep the population distracted... Blinding people to the faults of their own government... For example to the fact that their own government has been disregarding their rights and interests...
"WE're out of the EU -World's most successful newspapers crusade ends in glorious victory"... This was a title in an Edition of Daily Express, one of the publications that unfortunately have been contributing to form the opinion of some British... Through repetition of blatant propaganda..
Uk has one of the best rates of employment in EU, even like that parts of the society started to express feelings of hate and discrimination to foreigners.. To the point that now some citizens would be happy and rejoice
to see European citizens, that lived here for several years and brought up families, contributing very positively to British society to go.. By contrast other European countries already expressed good feelings regarding British people living there (Germany and France for e.g.).
But as many people already said the British government seems to be using EU citizens here as "bargaining chips"...
Bear in mind that the same rules that protect EU citizens are the same ones that protect British citizens at every level...
I would like to see the British politics to act in a responsible manner...promoting positive feelings,and a society of integration... Not demagogically putting at risk the lives and future of people.
You can not blame one little fraction of the society for the problems of a all population. Specially when you are talking about a group people that are good payers,and are contributing at various levels very positively to our society.
