1/ EU citizens allowed to stay in case of no deal Brexit because of labour shortages - UK Govt claiming moral high ground.
Moral f'ing high ground my fat German derriere. I really feel valued now. 20 years on this island and I am 'allowed to stay' because of labour shortages?

2/ there have been plenty of opportunities to claim moral high ground over the last 2 years. Proper moral high ground that both @The3Million & @BritishInEurope have asked for. The UK Gov has ignored those pleas.

3/ now with no deal Brexit looming, something I had zero say in and wasn't even allowed to vote in, they realise that the economy needs us. Bloody late. And bloody insulting.

4/ who am I? A shire horse dragging the cart out of the mudd? No, I am a human being, a father, a husband, a colleague, a school governor, a friend. Moral high ground would have been to say we are guaranteeing #citizensrights in case of no deal because of human decency.

5/ but human decency is something that Brexiteers and the UK Govt has very little of. 86,000 EU citizens have decided to leave the UK workforce last year. Guess, they did not want to feel used and abused by the UK Govt any longer.

6/ Labour f'ing shortages, that's what the last 20 years of my life in the UK has been reduced to. Shame on you UK Govt, shame on those who support this. I feel just disappointed - disappointed in myself for thinking the UK was run by decent people who believed in fairplay /end
