Madness of Brexit

Dear Steemians

From "Corriere della sera"
"We, Italians hostages of the Brexit". What happens to the 5 million Europeans, who had made freedom of movement their reason for living and now find themselves in a "foreign" country, which no longer recognises their rights.

The reason why I'm in London is because I wanted to be free to live and travel wherever I wanted in the European Union.

Very soon all this freedom will be gone. How sad is that?

Very sad. The U.K. that decided to go solo. Is it really going solo or going to join another club in order to survive?

Donald Trump will be visiting the U.K. today and he will meet Theresa May who is looking for a post-Brexit trade deal.

Feel free to read what Theresa May says in her Facebook profile about the Brexit deal for Britain.

This is what she says in one part of her post: "No longer will people be allowed to arrive here from across Europe on the off-chance that they might find a job."

Of course she will never mention about all the rich people who come here and buy properties making the prices of living for locals impossible because everything becomes more expensive. Of course those people will be always welcome here.

If it wasn't because of my family I would have left London long time ago.

If you do whatever you like, you will always be happy wherever you are but one problem is that many musicians, dancers, actors, entertainers who would come here to London and do what they like, they will find it a bit more difficult because in the future they will not be able to find those little jobs that support them to live here.

Anyway I could write a long post and that would make you and me tired.

I tell you that, what is happening, is wrong. The British people decided Brexit and we cannot argue with that.

Have you read, "The Prince" by Niccolò Machiavelli?

"He who neglects what is done for what ought to be done, sooner effects his ruin than his preservation."
From chapter 15 of "The Prince".

Read carefully: I do not want to offend anyone with my post.

I'm Italian and in 1957 Italy, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and West Germany signed the Treaty of Rome, which created the European Economic Community (EEC) and established a customs union.

Feel free to leave a comment. Try not to be offensive.
