In this week’s local Kenilworth Weekly News, and perhaps in other local media too, there are several letters on Brexit.

Thanks to all the staff, students and my fellow panellists who joined in the discussions today at Southam College during the week when we’ve marked the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
