Although the polls had been predicting it for weeks, the
election result has come as a terrible shock and disappointment. I am appalled at the prospect of losing my
European citizenship, my right to live and work anywhere in the EU, and the
prospect of another 4½ years of homeless rough sleepers, food banks, growing
NHS waiting lists, failure to tackle the climate emergency - all presided over
by a dishonest charlatan and his fan club of right wing populist ideologues,
Britain’s answer to Donald Trump. I feel
ashamed of my fellow countrymen and women who voted for this.
How has this come about?
And who is to blame?
