EU solidarity letter

British citizen, UK registered voter, as much European as I am British. I strongly believe in the ideals of the EU and fear we have so much to lose by leaving.

I spent my career training young people to work in the European context and I myself benefited from opportunities offered by our EU links. It distresses me to think that these factors are severely curtailed by this vote. I believe that some of those who voted Leave would reconsider if they fully understood the consequences. It also sickens me that the leaders of the Leave campaign now resign and opt out of any responsibility for the repercussions of the mayhem they have caused, probably for very selfish reasons.

British citizen (soon to be Irish passport holder I hope), university lecturer in French Studies. The EU has offered us so much: peace, prosperity, protection of our rights, opportunities, and, for me personally, long-lasting friendships.

UK citizen, with a Belgian father, British mother, Portuguese partner, & an education which was funded by the EU's Erasmus Mundus programme, and which allowed me to study alongside other Europeans.

(I am an Irish citizen living in England and teaching French at university, and I had voting rights in the referendum)

EU citizen, living and working in Britain.

I am a European not a Little Englander. This is the best way for all of us, whether for security, prosperity or a shared cultural life.

European and US citizen with UK voting rights

Because in light of all the major challenges of our modern world, the UK can't go at it alone. We are all Europeans.

This is extremely important to me, my children and grandchildren.

British citizen deeply committed to the ideals of the EU

I am a European. I always will be. And I want my continent back.

EU academic

British citizen and UK registered voter

This is all as terrible as the Berlin Wall coming down was joyous.

I voted in the referendum. As an academic I am worried about the effect leaving the EU will have on our universities and therefore on our future generations.

British citizen, lecturer in Classics at Girton College, Cambridge

I proudly consider myself a citizen of Europe, having benefited from a system of cooperation, international communication and freedom of movement throughout my education and into adult life. Working in the heritage industry, discussing our History with tens of thousands of visitors from all over the world, I know how intertwined our island's story is with that of our neighbours and distant friends. I fundamentally believe we should be united.

Freedom of movement is valuable to society and it must be protected.
