"Everyone is desperate to become British before it is too late" says Jonathan Hendry

Applying for British citizenship never crossed my mind even though I have been living in London for ages. I am both an EU citizen (Denmark) and a non-EU citizen (Norway).

I hope that even if the UK decided to leave the EU, our neighbours would not annex our garden overnight, spray paint "Scandis go home!" on our house and then nationalise the property altogether to turn it into a memorial of suffering endured by Londoners under the EU's free movement of labour.

Anyway, we are prepared to flee to the closest Ikea for temporary shelter in case violence and pogroms break out in Chelsea after the vote.

BBC is asking Should EU citizens consider becoming British?

Nationalism is becoming a tendency. So logically you are right. If the process begins, nobody knows where it can stop. Human nature is capable of surprising us...

I'd hope very much that Brits vote to stay in EU. If they quit, all the Europe could begin crumbling. And there will be a bunch of weak countries under pressure of arrogant US, insane Russia, and radical islam.
