I never imagined Brexit would happen, even after the referendum. I was lucky enough to meet great people through protesting. I still can't believe this has happened.
Ended up being one of the main organisers of the protest and saw it grow to one of the most successful grass roots protests of modern time. I'm proud we gave a voice to the groundswell of anger in the UK at the Brexit process and that we have a place in political history.
Dependent on childcare but I tried to come once a fortnight and for the Super-SODEM, either dressed as Robocop, Rees-Mogg or myself. I just want to say to my children that I tried my best to protect their rights and their futures.
I was a co-founder of Veterans for Europe, but immediately found my home at SODEM after my first visit. I was very late to the Remain campaign, but I'm proud I did everything I could to stop Brexit.
My grandmother was Belgian. My mother was a refugee from France in 1945. I have family and friends living throughout Europe. I feel European.
I did not belong to a political party. I watched Brexit unfold over 2015 and then 2016 with horror. I was involved in local groups from 2018 onwards...
I knew I had to be able to stand proud in the future that at least I had literally stood up to be counted when not one of my friends ever did. My hands are clean.
In 2016 I was stunned by the result. I was depressed for weeks. That turned to anger as it became more obvious that the leavers were lied to, and we were cheated.
My paternal grandparents died in Auschwitz and Teresienstadt. My father, uncles (x2), came as refugees, were welcomed here, made their lives here. And now we have to fight fascism all over again.
I’ve been fighting Brexit since 2015, I campaigned for Remain before the referendum and took part in weekly stalls over Chester and North Wales.
