Own goal

 

European league

loses one of its members;

self-inflicted wound.

Unlike the 51.8% in the UK today, I feel a huge sense of loss. The tolerant, stable and inclusive world my children have grown up in is under real threat. I dearly hope they will be a part of ensuring we continue to embrace our European neighbours in the years to come.

May the best team win

 

The best of friends…the

worst of enemies, go in

to battle today.
