I'm originally from Salford, now living in France. I first came to SODEM in March 2019 to present a painting to Steve.
I'd not been politically active since leaving university and naively thought the British public weren't so stupid as to vote us out, so didn't get involved in campaigning.
I attended SODEM because I felt so strongly that Brexit is wrong, that the media is not balanced, that there was no other method of making my protest heard —and because Steve Bray was an inspiration.
I brought the Brexitometers from our Dorset for Europe group for the big display...
We were a disparate group of people who had not been aware of each other's existence before and, in the main, politically inactive. Over nearly four years, we have come together as campaigners, activists and friends.
I wanted to save the country for ourselves and our children.
My father, a civil servant, had worked in the cabinet office with Churchill, Macmillan and others who were very keen to be a part of the growing European project...
Brexit will destroy our relationship with Europe and music is supposed to have no borders. England just created one.
I was born here, but brought up to appreciate Europe and understand its history by my parents. I always felt a part of something bigger.
I am involved in my local Europe group on the Social Media side and have sent probably up to a total of a thousand emails to MP,s including my own local Tory MP.
