Sir Patrick Stewart on why we must Remain

I really must flag this great piece by Sir Patrick Stewart in the Guardian up. In it, he explains why he thinks it’s so vital that we do not leave the EU. He recalls the devastation world war two left, saying that we cannot risk going back to the state of affairs before it. He writes, ”And when the European Union came into existence and the UK became a member, it was for me a triumph of all those convictions that the future must be one of worldwide cooperation and unity, and here we were paving the way with the beginnings of collaboration across Europe and learning the lessons of our own history.” That is a sentiment I totally, passionately agree with. Not only is Stewart one of my favourite actors (whom I have met, by the way), he is also spot on politically.
