Letters / I am voting No

My children are scattered – Shetland, Dorset, France and Canada. I visit when I can.

It will annoy me immensely if my English grandchildren and I have to use passports, foreign currency and expensive health insurance because we have a border, new currency and no European Health Insurance Cards.

This will be a common problem for many as for centuries we have scattered for employment, marriage and retirement reasons.

History, a common language, similar religions and mongrel antecedents have made us British. I wish to remain so.
