on the day after the vote i went into work with a polish friend - she was met with a few calls of 'you'll be packing your bags now, marta' 'it's been good knowing you' etc
she is a good worker and well liked and she laughed this off. later she told me how upset she had been and how worried she was.

This is not a newspaper story or from any other source than my own experience. it is a true representation of a real event.

Now, i am sure we all know people who have been affected in a similar way . My daughter works in Estonia and is thinking of applying for citizenship there to guarantee that she can continue to live with her partner (she doesn't earn enough to live here - if only she was a Russian gangster) Another friend has recently returned to Italy. These and millions of other stories are not fabricated, not biased - it's just how individuals are trying to make sense of our ludicrous decision.

It's this that angers me - i don't know, nobody does, how it will work out economically or politically but we do know what is happening at a human level and the government are doing nothing to clarify their position to give us security and confidence.

you don't MSM or mudcat - just keep your eyes open
