It's unfortunately very similar here in the UK: whilst most people are 'getting on with it', there's an increasing amount of division and stress due to the whole Brexit debacle.

Brexit related stress is very real, especially for residents who are EU citizens who may be very long time residents but haven't ever thought of the need to get official residency.
"Settled status" is of little comfort when they look and see a PM willing to act unlawfully.

Dunno the brits that live in Germany can just get a unlimited residency permit without any fuss.

Unconditionally? This is absolutely not the case for the UK "settled status" fiasco.

Um, Brexit is a big deal. It's so big that there is talk that we might see a united Ireland in our time, that's how big it is.

I agree it's a big deal. However I think the stress/division is coming from political rows and ill-felling more than genuine discussions on the UK's future relationship with Europe (and/or Ireland).

As there should be, the outcome of the Brexit negotiations will effect every day of your life as a UK citizen.
