I am an immigrant, who has lived here almost 51 years, longer than Mr. Cameron has. I spent almost half that time in Scotland and the remainder in England, but I will never be either English or Scottish, though I do have a British passport. As an immigrant and a foreigner, may I offer some consolation to the Remainers (of which I was one). This outsider can see that the British, and particularly the English , are resilient, innovative, resourceful, and have the best sense of humour in the EU, if not the world. You haven’t had an internal armed conflict since for over 300 years. How many nations in the world can say that? You will eventually get the exit from the EU sorted out efficiently and good-naturedly. Edmund Burke, an Irishman, said the same over 200 years ago: “revert to your old principles—seek peace and ensue it.” It ain’t the end of the world as you know it.
