EU migrants living in the UK: how do you feel after Brexit?

Britain’s place in Europe has been decided, with the leave camp claiming victory in the early hours of this morning.

Immigration has been central for leave campaigners, with Nigel Farage and Michael Gove arguing that Britain must take back control of its borders. The message was that Cameron could not be trusted on immigration, with the Ukip leader posing in front of a controversial poster warning of the supposed implications of a remain vote.

We want to know what the future looks like for migrants already in the UK. If you came here from Europe, do you now feel less welcome here? Are you concerned about the future, or optimistic despite the result?

According to research carried out for the Financial Times by Oxford University published earlier this month, three-quarters of EU citizens working in the UK may now not meet current visa requirements for non-EU overseas workers. The research found the impact could be even greater in certain sectors, estimating that as many as 94% of EU workers currently employed in hotels and restaurants fail to meet existing entry requirements. Is this you? Are you worried about losing your job or relationships due to this decision?
