Brexit cheerleaders no longer even believe their own words 📨 Read y_alibhai's latest newsletter:
Instead I want to understand why the EU meant so much to me and millions of my fellow citizens and why, after seven long years, we have not “moved on”. The simple answer is, you can’t move on when the debris of a catastrophe keeps falling and mounting and there’s no time to clear up, rebuild and start again.
I was not always a Europhile. In truth, until this century, I was wary of the club – a white fortress – and several EU nations. Unlike the UK, their indigenous populations were insistently monocultural and bound to the idea of “terroir”, a French word commonly used to describe different regional grapes, but which expanded to mean an old, set, cultural entity. Blood and soil stuff.
Immigrants in France were both punished for not being French enough and kept outside the walls of Frenchness. Italy, the nation so adored for its sun, beauty, food, flair and felicitousness, similarly kept and still keeps non-white migrants on the fringes. In Germany, Turkish workers were exploited and treated as “guests”, even after decades of residence in that EU country. Britons of colour were subjected to crass racism in France, Italy, Austria and Sweden.
