BRITISH POLITICAL COMMENTARY: “Don’t Despair After Brexit – Time to Fight for Hope” / Owen Jones ☮

We have to respect the democratic process and accept the result but we must fight against the most severe consequences of the Brexit result. Now is not the time to mourn, now is the time to organise.
