      I see, you want to stop citizens from going to a country where they are a citizen.

      How Trump of you. (Or, I suppose, Farage.)

            I understand if you have to but;

            Don’t go m8. I thought about it too, Canada is where I’d go, but… Let’s stay and be old dickheads about it. I don’t know you irl but, let’s go somewhere and get a pint, and wait for this to all blow over (cough cough explode cough). Also, someone is going to have to rebuild. I appreciate you, even if union jack Flax doesn’t.

            Stay. Resist. Just my two cents buddy, as a fellow “sorter by new.”

              I am the parent of a queer girl. There is no way I can justify staying and risking her being taken away and put in some conversion therapy camp. Or just have to be in the closet she’s never been in and never find love except in secret. In fact, due to the internet being forever, she can’t even really go into the closet if she needed to.

              Meanwhile, Britain is working to outlaw conversion therapy with cross-party support. It’s safer for her there.

              Children owe their parents nothing; they didn’t ask to be born. Parents owe their child everything. I would never, ever forgive myself if we stayed when we had the option to leave and something bad happened to her because of it.
