No surprises there. I live in Northern Ireland and one of my colleagues was saying this is the one place where police aren’t brutal enough. Instead we’ve got gangs masquerading as defenders of “British culture” and the most abhorrent racist loyalist scumbags who take pride in their colonial heritage while simultaneously spewing hatred towards immigrants who aren’t even coming here. This is the least diverse place I’ve ever lived in and yet somehow immigrants are supposed to be “destroying their culture” (let’s not talk about hundreds of years of British suppression of Irish culture) or taking “their jobs” (maybe if they spent less time destroying 5G towers they could actually get a job)

I- in the Hague… right?

I lived in Georgia for a few months and can say without at doubt it is absolutely European. I think it helps that Georgians have very close ties with the rest of eastern Europe. Sadly, given the state of the government at the moment, the road to joining the EU is looking very long and uncertain, but I have hope that it will happen one day.

Just a reminder that Brexit was a very close referendum and a lot of us would rather have much closer ties to the EU (or just rejoin, but I don’t see that happening any time soon). I was too young to vote at the time, while people like my grandad voted for it and then died and didn’t have to live with the consequences. If I could, I would love to be able to live and work in EU countries and have more people from the EU living here, but we were screwed over by David Cameron, the Brexiteers and of course the ignorant/misinformed voters who voted for it.

Any deal that involves me giving money to Amazon is not a good one

Sounds about right

You would have to pay me a lot to get me to travel to the US
