Every country, just like any individual, has to live with its own mess and pay the price for it. And this unfortunately applies on both sides of the Channel. The UnitedKingdomians – is there any other word to define the four British and Northern Irish nations’ subjects, with their different, if not contradictory positions on Brexit? – just like the French.
Will the Channel – which used to be a formidable divide, only to become in 1994 a friendly leap thanks to Margaret Thatcher and François Mitterrand’s joint decision to build the Channel Tunnel – part us once again?
