on a EU remain site for expats in the EU - so many young people and families saying they do not intend to visit parents in the UK in the future, and no longer wish to invite them to come and stay with them in EU - as they are so upset and shocked at their parents hard Brexit and anti EU/immigration stance- and just cannot face spending time with them. How sad. I didn't always agree with my parents, and do not always agree with DDs- but that would break my heart.

I have a mental image of a crowd of Leavers and Remainers pointing at each other and all wailing loudly "^He started it first Miss!^" ^It's not fair^"!

All as bad as each other.

Yes, Wiltshire, that hotbed of political activism and general
Paint spraying skullduggery grin
The odd thing happens everywhere, vandalism and getting one over on a disliked neighbour by a yob who disagrees with something.It isn’t spreading into every village in the land.Brexit, Scottish Independence, general elections etc will always bring out some to do outre things.

Just to prove that both sides are as bad as each other......

Brexit voter died after brutal attack by Remain supporter in row over EU referendum
A Brexit supporter died after being savagely beaten and threatened with being set on fire during a row over Britain’s membership of the European Union (EU).

Duncan Keating, 58, was attacked by his Remain-supporting neighbour, Graham Dunn, in Ancoats, Manchester, during a furious argument over the result of the EU referendum.

Dunn, 62, hit his victim with a parasol, punched him repeatedly and threatened to set him
on fire, according to the Manchester Evening News.
