Hi Val
The Mayor of Verfeil has told us that he will wholeheartedly support our application for French citizenship, how lovely of him, the trouble is we don't want to be French citizens, we like being British, but he knows that when all the dust has settled we will not be able to continue here and remain British.
I can't imagine what actual positive effect leaving the EU will have on the average person in the UK, but I hope it has been worth it, because it is potentially devastating for us.
I think there were a lot of people who voted out as if it were X Factor and they were just supporting the underdog, now they are shocked that their vote actually meant something real and important.
They fell for the line that 300 million a week would go to the NHS, now Farage is distancing himself from that statement.
What other promises were made to be broken?
The Mayor of Calais is dropping the border to allow the Refugees at Sangatte into the UK, so the anti immigration promises look a bit flimsy now.
Say goodbye to cheap European travel, extra airport taxes, visas, exchange rates, its all going to add to the cost.
In return it's going to hit the British tourist industry the same way, Europeans will no longer be able to travel to Britain on Identity cards, therefore they will have to get passports, they are not going to bother with that so they will stick to Europe.
All in all it's a balls up, good and proper.
Val says we were happy to be European, our birthright was British... but we have lived here in France 15 years full time. Our grandchildren call me " French Grandma" perhaps now it is time to become French. At least then we will be able to fight the war against Marine Le Pen and racisist attitudes here and in the ballot box.
