It's a sad state of affairs that this is the first year where my wife, a military brat whose father was a Colonel, and myself, former foreign correspondent, have felt emotionally uncomfortable attending a Remembrance Day service. All because of extreme nationalism of those who've weaponised the flag

Yes, it does make you wonder. I know a few older folks in UK who voted Brexit & they say it was 'for their sovereignty' & 'to protect their borders ' but they can't enlarge on that. I keep my distance nowadays. Dad & grandad were very pro unity.......

I honestly don't believe that either my dad (WW2) or my grandfather (WW1) would have wanted Brexit. I think they would have been gobsmacked. I also believe they would have wondered what they'd fought for if they saw how broken UK has become.

Remembering my dad who fought in the Far East (Burma) during WW2. He was a PoW in Changi.❀️
Remembering my dad when no one else does, not even his family. No one ever talks about him and his name is never mentioned.πŸ˜₯πŸ˜₯

Removing Article 50 would miss the point. The EU isn’t a cage, it’s a voluntary union built on shared consent. The goal isn’t to make leaving impossible, it’s to make belonging so valuable and functional that no member state ever wants to go.
