I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

From my Dutch European perspective it is fascinating to see how two Third Country nationals are discussing what the EU should have, should not have or should have stayed. ๐

That combined with living in the pro-Brexit Midlands - "we don't like all these immigrants, but we don't mean you" - made us look at other options. Choosing between the Netherlands and France, it became the latter and we have had a great time here.
Yes, you are probably right. Sadly however, my English wife a dual national.had lost her Dutch nationality due to a previous law change. I was not prepared to run the risk of losing mine.
Besides, as a European citizen in the UK I considered myself "safe".
That is, until Mrs May......
Thanks for mentioning the Commonwealth citizens as voters which I always found utterly ridiculous. As was the process by which lots of UK citizens in the EU were incapable of voting.

And yes, my life is infinitely better in France, even if I am still not โinvested in itโ as you might think.
Why should I be โinvestedโ into country where an advisory referendum with a minuscule outcome suddenly becomes a total absolute requirement to leave the most sensible and peaceful organisation in Europe.
You didnโt vote to leave the EU. Mrs May decided so.
If I had acquired an English passport, I would have lost my Dutch nationality. Then where would I have been? Stuck in Brexit Britain.
Together with 3 million fellow Europeans in the UK I was not allowed to vote in the referendum, as you well know.
I am a European who started living in England in 1975.
During my 44 years there becoming English was never a priority, (thank God) because I am a Dutch European. As such, I decided to move to France after Brexit.
Is it a priority to become French? Absolutely not.

So keep signing and sharing, because we need to show MPs that there's a huge demand.
