I have lots of family in Europe, among them children who study languages, including at university.
I went to all the marches and lots of regional events, but was only able to go to London mid-week once to attend SODEM.
Because I am remote (living in NL), I am the archetypical keyboard warrior. I have been doing various analytics and strategy formulation for selected groups.
I just want fairness and rule of law.
SODEM gave me a place to go and a place to be when I was feeling particularly down about Brexit, somewhere to channel it all.
The food supply chain is entwined with the EU. An analogy: you can't remove eggs from a sponge you have baked.
The sacrifices of my parents’ generation in securing the goodwill towards the UK for standing up against the Nazi regime and towards Churchill for helping to show Europeans that there was an alternative to military conflict between European Nations has been utterly betrayed by this Government.
There was a great feeling of solidarity with fellow protesters and the hooting traffic.
For me SODEM represents good companionship in a common cause.
Moving to London terrorism was on the streets of the Capitol and throughout the UK for many years, but the cycle of violence ended with the Good Friday agreement (GFA ). This peace agreement means everything to me and one of the co signatures is the EU.
