Personally, I left the UK 30 days after #euref. It was something I’d been vaguely planning for years and the referendum crystallised it.
I haven’t regretted it for a moment. I’m half English half Polish, my kids are English-Polish-Swiss-Belgian mongrels. We’re happy here.
Also, as someone who works on democracy, Europe is an interesting and important to be in the next few years. In the words of Tom Paine
(the internationalist after whom my son, 15 today, is named) “we have it in our power to begin the world over again”. 🇪🇺
