Thank you! As a EU citizen who has lived and contributed to society here for 35 years, Farage scares the hell out of me.

Apart from child benefit, I've never claimed benefits. Did jury service, volunteer, payed (and pay) plenty of tax.

Britain is my home. Like for 3+ Million EU citizens.

Happy Birthday 🎂🎈🥂 - and many happy returns.

Writing letters (and receiving letters) is one of the joys of life.

That joy has lasted for 4 generations in my family ... and I am hopeful my children will carry on. So far, so good (despite the temptations of emails and text messages).

I've never felt more insecure living in the UK, as an EU national who arrived (and filled a skills gap) in the early 1990s. I pay tax, have done jury service, volunteer, am bi-lingual, fully integrated.

And yet, I worry who'll come to power and what it will mean for my future.

Despicable.

Thanks for sharing - it's such an astute analysis.
But I can't help thinking - what are we, as a society, actually going to do about it?

Absolutely mesmerising. Thank you!

I am ready to tackle the dreadfully neglected back garden I inherited from the previous owners. It's a wildlife desert.

I want to create a biodiverse (mini) south-facing courtyard garden and I want to turn it into a wildlife haven.

Thank you for the inspiration and practical instructions!
