As an EU immigrant thank you for your words of support :)
(and the leavers hold everyone in contempt, don't they?)
Can't go anywhere due to the ex and our shared son, UK citizenship it is. Unfortunately that's far too much of a privilege as well due to the costs of £1500 ish (form, exams...)

Yeah, there's people like that all over the country, immigrants don't only live in London, and plenty of people in London voted leave, even in the most remain heavy areas a quarter of people who voted did so to leave, and 4/10 in London overall did the same, that's not insignificant. Treating an urban/rural blurred split (pretty much everywhere has at least a quarter, closer to half that voted against the result in each area) as a London/RoUK split will further alienate other urban centres that already feel they get a bit of a raw deal at times from a London centric government when ideally you want to get them on the same page.

@snottyotter I am assuming your responses are aimed at my Myopic rant posting. Your reference regarding urban (more diverse opinion) vs rural (more conservative) is spot on. I also know people in Plymouth, Nottingham and Carlisle, known them a long time, and seen their struggles like the rest of the country. But my family and I have also see a lot of good people from the EU establish a life here for three solid decades. The leavers really didn’t consider their contribution in our society, the hard choice they face between what now looks like not feeling welcome and a new life back home. I say this from the comfort of living in the poorest borough in London, Newham. With high percentage of non english folk.
