Brexit has given voice to racism
and too many are complicit
In Hammersmith, racist graffiti was daubed on a Polish cultural centre; in Birmingham, angry demonstrators shouted slogans outside a mosque; and most worryingly in Newcastle, a placard was placed urging the country to “start repatriation”. Unfortunately, these episodes are only the tip of this hateful iceberg. www.theguardian.com
I came to London full of admiration for this nation, from their culture to their Monarchy (I couldn't say food here). I always felt I was European and having the chance to do my studies in France and UK was for me something natural until now.
This referendum was mainly based on xenophobic arguments and little about real facts. EU system is not perfect, but which institution is?
The following day of the vote, I woke up and like 99% of the ppl, I check my mobile to look at the BBC News app to discover the result.
When I saw it, I felt like something was broken with my so loved United Kingdom in my heart.
Populism and Xenophobia were both the best tools for the first and Second WW so a bitter feeling started to grow after this result, and I suddenly feel not welcomed anymore despite being here for more than 15 years.
UK increased University fee from £20k to £90k a couple of years ago and nobody said anything which amazed me! The best way to keep your ppl is to put them into debt straight away! Well done.
Now, the same young generation won't benefit of freedom of movement in EU anymore, and Trump is becoming dangerously popular... I feel sorry for you guys.
The rats left the boat; Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage leaving the mess to the next Prime Minister to deal with.
Is this the new way to do politics? Tony Blair is a war criminal alongside with Bush as we all know they lied to the nations, but what about those two idiots leaving the ship while is sinking after the EU referendum?
We all observed a change of vibe in London and I feel very sad for the new generations to let them witness such a pathetic masquerade.
I want to tell them one thing: your freedom is never granted, you have to keep fighting for it.
