Day of distress

Some distress that it looks like a miserable UK election may occur on a date in December that means something to my family. I have lost all hope of remaining, of a second referendum and of a single market. The best I can hope for is a customs union and an urgent campaign to rejoin. Regardless, if there is a protest while I’m in London I’ll be there, since there seems no other way to make my views known. But it’s very dispiriting. A victory for walls closing in.
