I generally feel out of place, well, everywhere, but I felt so acutely in my hometown (I'm even reluctant to use the word - I wasn't born there after all lol) after the referendum: the city voted to Leave after benefiting directly from EU membership and I was kind of dumbfounded. The recent EU migrants were basically keeping the place alive but apparently it had become a problem. (There has since been an influx of Africans :umad:)

“I see that a lot of Londoners are moving to place like the Midlands and then that’s displacing people in the Midlands, because the rents are going up; so we’re being displaced and we’re displacing other people which I don’t like.”

But. Where is actually better for this? It seems like we have to pick our (flavour of) poison, and each country seems to have that special minority they love to hate. (I've never understood the disdain for Roma people which seems to be pretty widespread though.)

My desire to be somewhere else has been like my guiding principle almost since I graduated, though things have become quite complicated since then... hopefully I will still be able to at some point.
