People who first came in 2019
I came because I wanted to stand up and be counted. Also, as a photographer I wanted to record something of these historical events.
The day I went to SODEM, I was heading to Szczecin in Poland for a professional Congress.
I’m Ben from St. Asaph in North Wales, a Remainer and patriot who loves his country, so hates Brexit!
I am a foster carer and have a Polish national at the moment. He has lived in Britain since he was 4 and has no memory of Poland, but his right to remain is in doubt.
I consider myself European and believe that this country has benefitted beyond all knowing through being in the EU in every way. My son considers himself to be European. I’m gutted by Brexit.
I moved to Sweden in 2006 and never felt the need to apply for citizenship. Suddenly my right to live in the same country as my son has disappeared.
I was the one being called a traitor because unicorns don't exist. I was politically homeless but my anger and desire to show my displeasure led me to SODEM.
The atmosphere was great and inspired me to buy EU flags and hats, and we went on the two marches in July and October, and had our own mini-protest on a motorway bridge near home.
I've always been a lover of Europe. I was a headteacher who made her school a specialist language college.
I do think a coup took place on 24th June 2016 and the mainstream remain group were pussyfooting around with people who did not deserve respect.
