This is beautiful & intensely moving on an emotional day.
@IanDunt in his weekly newsletter.

“Sometimes people look at something beautiful & can only see the flaws”

We remainers see the beauty and will keep the flame alive
Part of keeping that flame alive is to hold close the National, local, online and off line networks we have built.

For we will be living proof that we are alive and kicking and will hold the liars and fools to account.

@IanDunt :-
“It must be done. It is a duty, not a goal”
“Sometimes people look at something beautiful and can only see the flaws....

It is so much easier to destroy than to create. It is so much easier to lie, to pretend the world is simple, to make people blame outsiders for problems which have complex origins.”
“It is so much easier to burn stuff down than it is to build it up. And that is what they have done. They have destroyed something beautiful.”

But they have not destroyed the EU, the aim of those who are the worst of us. Merely - and temporarily - our place in it.
The BXP boorish shouting & plastic flag waving v EU Parl’s Auld Lang Syne :

“On the one hand, international solidarity & common decency. On the other, bitterness, delusion, imagined victimhood, small-mindedness and spite.”
“Britain reduced to a stump of itself, stripped of its better qualities. The replacement of patriotism with nationalism.

But underneath it all, the seeds of a better Britain are already in place.”
“Over the last four years, millions of people have discovered their values and their commitment to fighting for them. Openness. Internationalism. Liberalism. Reason.”

Online & offline. Nationally & locally. In numerous ways those roots have flourished.

This WILL continue
For it is our love of country, love of peace, our ability to see the EU project as audacious, grand and extraordinary, flaws and all, that means we will not turn our backs on it.

We hold it as a duty to fight for our place in it, even on this day.
@ByDonkeys has managed to capture the sadness, the quiet determination and the hope that we will be together again.

@SE25A has also provided a link to the lovely Ode To Joy Flashmob event.
