I agree. I am in the UK as an EU national, and I am not worried about my residency situation. We have a moderate government who I am confident will not make rash decisions and I am intelligent enough not to equate Europe or European civilisation with something as political as the EU.
Kudos to the Brits for doing what they think is best for them (if only the Greek government did the same). Even after the gnashing of teeth and wailing in Brussels & Strasbourg has died down, the Brits will still remain European.
- disgruntledphd2 10y agoThis is very true, in many respects (apart from the part about the government, but let's not touch that). The Brits have always been, and will always be European. The difficulty is that lots of the integration that's happened over the past 50 years was predicated on the single market, and disentangling all of that in two years is a very difficult prospect. For instance, what happens to Open Skies? And what happens if Ryanair reduce services (which they may have to, if Open Skies goes away)? Suddenly some of that stuff starts falling apart, and people are no longer casually exposed to difference, and the learnings that come from that. And of course none of the young people have the right to live in the EU anymore, which kinda sucks for them.
