On May 11, in Glasgow’s Merchant Square, people and organisations from all over Europe will gather for a day of family fun, food from many countries, dance, music and song. There are some 67,000 EU citizens living in the city. Many of them will be there to celebrate Europe Day. Everyone is welcome. I’ll be there, working on the European Movement in Scotland (EMiS) stand.

Much to my sadness, I lost my EU citizenship when the UK Government decided on the hardest possible Brexit. The loss still hurts, but I grieve more for what Brexit has done to the young of the UK and the EU. It robbed them of the freedom to live, work, study and love in any EU country.

No longer could........
