Brexit party on 31 January in London is going ahead. And it will be shit.

From here.
 
Maybe seething bitterness, but more probably long experience looking at brexit-supporting web pages.

I wasn't talking about everyone who voted Brexit, but the kind of people who would turn out to actually celebrate it. I've encountered flag-waving brexit marchers in person and they were overtly racist and transphobic, as well as being as thick as pig shit.

The EU is a bag of shit and I firmly hope that the UK's departure brings the whole thing crashing down. But our transition to EU client state/banana republic is not something a sane person would celebrate. Nor is this kind of celebration a kind thing to do to the millions of EU citizens resident here who still don't know what's going to happen to them and have no reason at all to trust the vague promises and even vaguer concrete provisions given to them thus far.

Aside from the very questionable idea that being outside the EU ( which you advocate should come crashing down hence presumably leaving ex EU client states in the same boat) equals being a banana republic I dont quite follow the last sentence Frank . Are there really millions of EU citizens resident in the UK who still dont know what is going to happen to them ?

yes. more than sixty million of them.

I would not anticipate any collapse of the EU to happen in the next twelve months. And while I don't think leaving the EU would necesarily turn the UK into an even more corrupt, even more unequal and even less functional nation; leaving under the leadership of Boris Johnson certainly will.

Yes. Data is very difficult to get on, for example, who has applied for settled status and who hasn’t and who has been given the limited, interim status and what that means.
