Your This is Europe series, and your commitment to it, are in the tradition of what Great Britain has always represented for liberal, democratic thought. Social and political debate in Britain, both in and outside of parliament, abiding by a set of accepted rules in the function of its democracy, for all its shortcomings, have always been a beacon in a world where such values are not always respected. Certainly this new series follows in that tradition. Truly, in these troubling times, I can almost hear Winston Churchill’s “We shall never surrender” as your motto.
