At the time of closure, it is not clear what is happening with regard to the Government’s plan to strip us of our European citizenship.
In case there is a second referendum, let me address people in Wales:Don’t get fooled again. The UK’s membership of European Union is good for Wales. About sixty per cent of exports from Wales go to continental countries; in some industries the percentage is higher.
As a comparatively poor part of Europe, Wales has benefited over and over again from EU investments in a range of areas from sea defence works to cultural projects.
Before MPs at Westminster had the EU as a higher authority looking over their shoulders, we in Wales were treated with a lot less consideration and respect – I am old enough to remember that.
So don’t be so willing to pay heed to English newspapers and English voices telling you what’s best for England. You don’t live in England.
Be a proud Wales-based European and – if you get the chance – vote to Remain in the EU.
