I am a retired British journalist, of French and English parentage. I grew up in the UK, worked in the two countries, and now live in France with multi-national grandchildren. Our values and culture have always been first and foremost European. I have worked in sectors combining the strengths of many nations (Airbus, European Space, multi-national companies.)
The 2016 Brexit referendum was a catastrophic decision, with people voting on the basis of prejudices and lies. Two years on, all the difficulties of leaving are so obvious. Those who voted Brexit will be hit hardest. The facts are clear.
But we have a stubborn gouvernent leadership and a pitiful opposition. I follow the debates at Westminster, and admire the few still-level headed MPs like you who constantly denounce the folly that is taking place.
Continue your fight to obtain a second refendum, in which the full facts will be taken into consideration, to reverse the tide, or at very least avoid a no-deal exit. Our country has a great history. I am deeply British at heart, but today I look at my British passport with shame. Regards.
