I like FoM, sharing and learning from others. Moreover I was concerned about the social and economic impact of Brexit.
I just want fairness and rule of law.
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.
At first, willing to accept the result. Maybe it would turn out fine? However, when the links between Brexit and Trump became apparent, I realised that Brexit wasn’t just about leaving the EU...
I came because the Tories cancelled the first vote on the Brexit deal, and I realised democracy was at threat. This went beyond Brexit.
I planned to leave the UK, but kept putting it off as I love this country, my home of 50 years. And I am devastated to leave family and friends behind in this chaos.
After I saw that winter pic of Steven Bray alone in the snow, I knew I had to come and support him.
The prospect of Brexit terrified me (still does), and I felt I had to do something about it.
My father fought in WW2 and was captured, spending 2 years as a prisoner of war with men from other EU countries. He vowed to support European unity for peace after the war.
I first attended SODEM in December 2018. It was a few days after my Granddaughter was born, and I felt I had to do more to try to give her a good future.
