I know I shouldn’t get too political on my birthday, which so far has been really nice, but I think I  need to flag this Will Hutton article up about the cultural impact of Brexit. He might go a tad far in his depiction of Outists as all backwards  and inwards looking, but he’s spot on to point out that Brexit would ruin far more than the economy. The tolerant, open, welcoming society we value so dearly is now under threat, and, birthday or not, we must fight with all our  strength to save it.
