Since all hope is lost, since I live in a hostile country, one where the Prime Minister didn't hesitate to blow the racist dog whistle in the campaign, is it time I retire from Twitter, at least retire from political Twitter...

Guys, thank you all for the messages of support.
Yes, the UK is now hostile, at least politically. A nationalist government pretending to be the only one to represent the people and a Parliament that must comply or else?

A colleague of my wife celebrating the referendum result with a diatribe against migrants, in the presence of their Dutch colleague (and my British wife married to a French person)... followed by "I don't mean you".
