I live in Wales. Swansea, to be precise. My ancestors were oystermen, as far back as the 1700s. I am writing a book and a play about these ancestors, and campaigning to stop Brexit. "But Wales voted Leave." I know. I hear it every day. However, scrutiny of the figures shows that the overall percentage...
On the evening of 23rd June 2016 I had to work late. My vote had been cast and whilst nothing in life is certain I was happy that as a nation we wouldn't be foolish enough to vote to leave the European Union. For background I'm from Northern Ireland where I am self-employed, supplying unique hi...
"In 1998 I met, later married, a Dutchman living in the UK. The same year my British parents exercised their freedom of movement to relocate to France. My sister joined my parents in France in 2009. I had a pan European family. #BrexitIsPersonal During the EU referendum campaign my Dutch husband became depressed, he felt...
Hi. I'm Tim from Kingston in South West London. If you spend time on Twitter and are interested in brexit, you probably see me popping up in your timeline every now and then as @MaldenSaboteur, an angry anti-brexit cat in a hat (she's actually called Cleo) and prolific retweeter of the pro-EU community. I am...
As I am building a digital monument for the Dutch resistance during WW 2, I have been working for the last past 11 months on a project concerning the illegal press. No matter how big or how small the setup was organised, all of these people undertook the same risk of being caught and executed...
I lost my wife to Twitter. Oh yes, she is still there, I can see her, I can talk to her but she is not listening. She has been sucked into this big hole called Brexit and she is fighting with all her might to get out of this bloody mess. Not only her mess,...
"Get over it, you lost!", is the refrain of many a Leave supporter. But, if we're all being honest with one another, it's just not that simple. It never was. Brexit, like no other political event in the UK since the war, is not a simple binary choice; even if the Conservative government, propped up...
In 2007 we faced a difficult decision: stay in the UK with the prospect of both being made redundant, or take a job offer in Scandinavia. The economic climate in Britain wasn't good and there was little chance of things improving short-term. We weighed up the pros and cons and, apart from leaving friends and...
I am a British Citizen, but the ramifications of Brexit are potentially huge for me and my family. My husband is a Dutch citizen, but he has lived, studied, worked and cared in the UK for seven years. Together we care for two disabled children. I met Kayam in 2007 online, and we became very...
I was born in Birmingham in 1979. My mother is German - she came to the UK in 1966 - and my father is English. My family moved to Scotland in 1984. While at university I decided to go on the Erasmus exchange programme to Austria in 2000 to work on my German. After five...
