French words on Brexit cherishedI appreciated the supportive comments of Alain Rousset (president of the Regional Council of Nouvelle-Aquitaine) that you ran online – and those of Emmanuel Macron televised on Brexit day, on what was a very sad day for us Brits who love our adopted country.
‘Dark Ages’ are really a step to a brighter futureHow sad that your correspondent John Spinks (Connexion, January issue) spoils his argument about the failure of the UK voting system with an attack on Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party.

SOLVIT... notI am writing with respect to SOLVIT (the European Commission mediation service for EU rights breached by public authorities in EU countries).
