Abolished as an act of spite - a tragedy for young
people
A local French court has ordered that a British retiree be put back on the electoral lists for the European elections – a ruling that is the first of its kind since Brexit.

It is a happy coincidence that as York and Lviv are working to become sister cities, the European Movement UK has produced a powerful new film this year in Lviv to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Lviv is known as Ukraine’s humanitarian hub and Flags in the Wind highlights the resilience and determination of people fleeing the devastation of war, drawing parallels with Britain’s own wartime past.
It reminds us never to take Europe’s peace for granted, amplifying voices of those fighting tyranny today.
In honour of Lviv, please watch this 25 minute film.
За щасливим збігом обставин саме в той час, коли Йорк і Львів працюють над тим, щоб стати містами-побратимами, Європейський рух Великої Британії нещодавно створив у Львові новий потужний фільм, щоб відзначити 80-ту річницю Дня перемоги над нацизмом.
Львів відомий як гуманітарний хаб України, і фільм «Прапори на вітрі» підкреслюючи стійкість та рішучість людей, які рятуються від руйнувань війни, проводить паралелі між воєнними реаліями України і воєнним минулим Великої Британії.
Цей фільм нагадує нам про те, як важливо ніколи не сприймати мир у Європі як даність, посилюючи голоси тих, хто бореться з тиранією сьогодні.
Будь ласка, подивіться цей 25-хвилинний фільм на пошану Львова.
2024 Celebrating Impact Prize for the EU Rights and Brexit Hub
York University's Professor Charlotte O'Brien
The EU Rights and Brexit Hub is the first of its kind: a nation-wide, legal action research hub. It is an interdisciplinary, inter-institutional, multi-method three-year project investigating how Brexit affects the social rights of EU/EEA nationals in the UK. It is funded by an ESRC large Governance After Brexit Grant.
Do revisit our Facebook interview with Professor O'Brien a couple of years ago, here

Professor Juliet Lodge considers a European perspective and reports on Musk's altercation with the EU.
We maintain that the UK, having left the EU, will have its best interests served by retaining a close as possible relationship with the EU, its peoples and its cultures. This site will serve as a bulletin board, a village pump, and information and interest exchange. The aim of this site it to keep alive our already close ties with the countries of Europe which, we maintain, were more easily facilitated when the UK was a member of the EU. We will also share any difficulties that arise from terminating membership and solutions to problems where they exist. Also, we will share advantages of leaving the union should they arise...
“Our fight continues....
We are standing up for European rights, standards and values in the UK”
