Heartbroken.

And thus fearmongering and hatemongering pay off. Nationalism and xenophobia win once more.

Bye, Britain. Sadly, there’s really nothing about you that’s “great” anymore.

This is a very dark day for all of Europe.

Yesterday was European Union Day.

flag of the European Union

Also known as Schuman Day, EU Day celebrates the historical declaration by French foreign minister Robert Schuman in 1950, which proposed the creation of a European Coal and Steel Community… the first of a series of supranational European institutions that would ultimately become today’s “European Union”.

I haven’t seen a single post celebrating Europe – the unprecedented decades of peace and all the economic, humanitarian, and cultural benefits we have been allowed to enjoy thanks to the European Union.

And that’s pretty devastating.

What is lost is lost forever.

Pro EU poster by the artist Wolfgang Tillmans, with the message: What is lost is lost forever. Say you’re in if you’re in. This one’s important: If the UK leaves Europea it may spell the end of the largest peace project in human history. It’s not about ‘same old’ but about pulling through together. Register to vote before June 07.

For 60 years the European Union has been
the foundation of peace
between European neighbours,

after centuries of bloodshed.

(The posters by the artist Wolfgang Tillmans can be downloaded so you can use & share them!)
