Seriously?

People had lives and businesses reliant on the UK being a member of the EU — there were hundreds of stories of people who were spending lots of time in the EU caring for relatives, or running their business, but not enough time to claim residence in the EU.

That all got thrown under the bus by the Tories, the domain names is a minor detail in comparison.

(Note the .yu domain was removed in 2010 after a 3 year transition period, but for some reason .su remains.)

At least .yu was completely terminated. Wheras the confiscated .eu domains are now being re-listed for anyone to register! Anyone can now claim my old email address and I can do nothing to stop it. This is what bugs me the most about the whole thing.
