I learned so much about myself between 2016 and 2020. I am not the same person I was before. I am stronger, braver, more passionate, more rebellious.
I wanted to be there to be with like-minded people and to show that there were people who were very much against Brexit.
Going to SODEM, being with people who are now friends, speaking to the general public, has kept me sane.
I thought we'd always be in the EU. I have friends across the continent and love the freedom to go as easily to Germany as to Newcastle. Then the crooks and liars stole my future, and I became politically involved.
I tried to use my social media channels and local groups to campaign for a PV, I joined EUFM, and stickered the hell out of everywhere I went for 4 years.
I still believe our best place is in the EU and we have been robbed of that by a bunch of lying, self serving, disaster capitalist charlatans. I continue to be worried for the future of my country.
Always a convinced Europhile, I hate British exceptionalism and the racism that underlies do much of the Brexit motivation.
I've never been 'political’, but Brexit is the worst and most devastating thing that's happened in my life.
I have lived in EU for 30 years. I am denied a vote although my only passport is British. The 2016 referendum was a sham.
Why did I come? To be able to tell my grandchildren I tried as hard as I could to stop us leaving the EU and because peaceful protest isn’t just a right it’s a duty.
