CakeWatch - Episode 54: Denied My Vote
29/05/2019
Chris, Tanja, and Axel Antoni offer a first take on last week's European election and its aftermath before examining in a bit more detail what led to the disenfranchisement of many EU citizens who were denied their vote, and what can be done about it.
The government now stands at a crossroads, and the first step they must take is to expand full voting rights to every permanent citizen in the country.
In the time that has passed since the referendum took place in 2016, one thing has continuously stood out to me – the failure of politicians and commentators, both in the UK and the EU, to grasp the severely negative impact Brexit has already had on millions of people.
It is critical that we do not lose focus – waiving the fee does not take away the problems with the application process.
For millions of Europeans like me, today is a difficult watershed moment – settled status will no doubt create a new Windrush generation.
Chris and Tanja have no confidence in this government and reject its withdrawal agreement but more specifically talk about Brexit British attitudes towards Germany, where things stand for EU citizens as B-day approaches, and Brecht.
Warning: this episode includes very strong language. Awesome citizen rights campaigner Tanja Bueltmann co-hosts this week's episode as we talk about her work on behalf of EU27 citizens in the UK, what it's like being a constant target of online and offline harrassment
