Yesterday the British citizens voted in a referendum if they want to stay in the European Community or leave. The first thing I did this morning is looking at the result:
Britain will leave the EU.
My daughter said she is not surprised. They had a survey at school. All the teachers voted for staying in. Most of the students wanted out.
It is early days and I will look for more information in time but it seems Scotland and the London region are the main parts of Britain who wanted to stay. Especially the Midlands want out.
No EU country ever wanted to leave before. I am sad and disappointed. And I am also somewhat scared.
I have been living in Britain for decades. I am a German with an English daughter but after an industrial accident a very long time ago I have been unable to work. I get most of my disability pension from Germany and I am contributing by raising a child. I am a foreigner who doesn`t pay taxes and is mostly a burden to this country. Maybe I have to wonder when people will insist that I return where I come from. My daughter is worried.
I looked at the news for a moment. The Pound plummeted in value. Some politicians call for unity. Unity - really?
This will be bad.
