Lancaster for Europe has created an open letter thanking the European Union for our time as members, along with greetings for the New Year. This is being translated into the languages of the 27 members of the European Union and sent to the European Parliament.
Here is the wording in English:
(An appropriate New Year greeting to the citizens of country X)
We wish to thank the European Union for forty-seven years of progress, achieved through mutual respect, discussion, and co-operation.
We are pleased the United Kingdom, as a founding member, will remain in the Council of Europe. Although we are no longer a member of the European Union, we are still European, and will always be a part of Europe.
A large number of United Kingdom citizens have appreciated being part of the European Union, and regret that some of their politicians and public figures, including at the highest level, have used intemperate language, and have lacked common courtesy.
We send best wishes to you, our neighbours in (country X), expressing a hope the links of friendship and co-operation remain.
This open letter was signed by (number link) and the individuals can be seen here (list link)
This letter was a Lancaster for Europe initiative. Lancaster for Europe are affiliated to the European Movement who continue working to create the strongest possible ties with Europe.
Lancaster for Europe is aware this open letter will not create political change. But it will express our thanks, and our sense of loss. Not only the economic loss, and the loss of opportunity, but the loss of a belief in openness, sharing, and co-operation.
Thank you for signing this letter.

I, my family, and my academic colleagues, profoundly regret the UK’s decision to leave the EU. We will always see ourselves as European and will personally work to retain the closest links possible, in the hope that one day we will return.
I will always think of myself as a European. I am devastated that my Grandchildren will no longer have the amazing experiences and advantages that we have had as part of the EU. I will never forgive this government for what they have done.
Ich werde immer Europasich sein. Je serais toujours europeen. Happy new year from London. I wish the EU continuing success. My European citizenship may have been removed from me by my government, but I will remain European at heart.
Happy New Year from London. We didn’t vote to leave. we love the contributions that Europeans have brought to the city. You are our neighbours, friends and family. A new coloured passport must not change this. We always will be Europeans.
Thank you for increasing the UK’s prosperity as part of your family of states. Thank you for enabling easy travel within the EU & helping to bring some peace to Northern Ireland. Looking forward to an Independent Scotland joining you soon.
We along with most of the UK population are SO sorry to be leaving
Thank you Lancaster for your kind understanding and good manners. This is quite opposed to the attitude of our politicians who refer to the Europeans as the enemy ! Those same individuals shout for sovereignty and liberty whilst seeking to put us in a position much worse than before. Am I insane or is our dear leader just a little muddle headed ?

what is happening to the country I was born into tears my heart apart. I have always felt more at home on the continent and feel bereft at what is occurring. Many thanks for all the friendship over the years. Look after our star, we will never stop trying to rejoin.
