"I wish to assure that the Home Office is making sure lessons have been learned and changes are being made to the approach it takes."
Yeah, right.

There is absolutely no excuse for such an inhumane treatment by the Home Office.

Many of us have known this for a while now but it's quickly becoming apparent that, especially after the recent #GeneralElectionResults2019, #Racism in the UK is, not only going to increase, but become even more brutal, widespread & acceptable, as #racists become emboldened by /1
the fact that the Gov itself & those right in the heart of it, not only don't *effectively* condemn #racism but are, in fact, guilty of it *themselves*.

The “toxic narrative” you speak about, @patel4witham, has only been created by those who decided that 3.6 m had to apply, not register, to stay in their own homes. After a lifetime here. 90-year-old people with dementia included, just to give an example. 1/7
A Settled Status without any physical proof. How would you feel if you had no document to show to employers, landlords, banks? Discrimination has already started. It’s become harder to rent or find a job for EU citizens. 2/7
Settled Status is set in secondary legislation, so open to changes without parliamentary approval. What happened to the Windrush generation? How can we feel safe? We could easily be next. 3/7
@ameliagentleman Can I say a word or two about #theforgetten @BritishInEurope especially people in France? Like the UK, since 2003, France doesn't require #EUcitizens to register, unlike other countries. We do, however, have the right to a residency permit, called a carte de séjour, as long as...
@ameliagentleman @BritishInEurope We fulfill certain criteria. These include income, whether we are working, students, or retired, how long we have been here, etc. Many thousands of us started to apply to stay in our own homes (sound familiar?) and keep our jobs after the referendum - many of us couldn't vote.. 3
@ameliagentleman @BritishInEurope Either because we had been out of the UK for 15yrs + (cf Tory manifesto) or our ballots didn't arrive or our proxies didn't get the papers. (This also happened for the recent EU elections). So, to get our cartes, we have to get an appointment at the local prefecture/police... 4
@the3million Something that I have not seen mentioned anywhere & that I think is *extremely* important on *why* people should NOT SETTLE for #PreSettledStatus, if they believe they're entitled to #SettledStatus instead, is that, apart from the principle of it, NO ONE knows whether or how /1
@the3million the requirements/criteria to "convert" it to #SettledStatus in the future, might change. Again, apart from the fact that people will have to *apply* AGAIN, there's NO GUARANTEE *anywhere* that in a few years or even a few months, the process won't become more strict/demanding! /2
@the3million When it comes to the #Tories & @ukhomeoffice in general, rules/laws change *all the time* &, esp because of the secondary legislation's ease to amend them without Parliamentary scrutiny, chances are that, as the new general #immigration policy is developed & re-structured, /3
It's 3am. I am awake at my family house I left many years ago exercising my right to travel freely across 28 countries. I am just visiting for few days but 2000 miles away from UK the reality of what we are doing to our country by inflicting Br**it madness hits.

How can any sane person even contemplate that it will be beneficial for anyone who isn't rich with vested interests in the chaos ensuing from "No Deal"

I am genuinely worried about the damage it will cause to everyone's lives. And I mean everyone: #the5million , British citizens who voted remain,those who didn't vote for various reasons, even those who voted leave whether they understood the consequences or not.

Today marks a 1000 days living #inlimbo. To remind everyone what Europe means to our group, today we are posting open letters written by some of our members titled "Dear Europe'. We hope you find them moving and meaningful @eucopresident @guyverhofstadt @JunckerEU @EP_President
1/ The flack we are getting since the articles in today's @ScotNational about EU nationals considering leaving Scotland is coming from both sides of debate: This is exactly what we feared when we saw sensationalist headline last night.
2/ While some unionists say we shouldn't even have a vote, many indy supporters attack our "impatience" or accuse EU nationals of being reason 2014 ref was lost- let's be clear, we never said we need a vote now - we stated we hoped for clarity
3/ Clarity is needed because Brexit, whether "deal" or "no deal" impacts our rights hugely. Right to apply for Settled Status does not mean guaranteed right to stay. & still so many unanswered questions around SS: the3million.org.uk/questions
