A Shrinking World

hitler-donald-trumpThe presidential election results in the US certainly seem to be a cause for concern, particularly if you belong to a racial, religious, or in fact any type of group, that the new President Elect does not like. He has not been quiet about the fact he wants to block the roads from Mexico with a giant wall, and don’t even get me started on his “suggestion” to ban Muslims from the US. One has to wonder if the United States of America is going to become a complete no-go zone for anybody that does not tow the Trump line. I am in no way suggesting that Trump is going to exterminate millions of people, but you have got to agree that the similarities at this stage are very frightening.

There is also no ignoring the fact that the UK is in the complicated throngs of Brexit. How the UK’s borders will end up is anybody’s guess at this point in time. Will the European loving UK citizens sudden find they no longer have free access to the EU? I know, personally, that I count myself as a European and a member of the EU. It is not a label I would have willingly given up. It’s amazing how many Brits don’t realise that we are not actually part of the Schengen area, and so we have very little protection when it comes to retaining our current access to the EU. It is very possible that we may soon find ourselves with the same 90 day limit as the rest of the world.

As a family we are very open to the free movement of people. You can not choose the country you are born in, or the colour of your skin. We are all citizens of the world, so why should we be restricted from exploring that world?
