We're Back!
November 24, 2021
After the covid hiatus, Lancaster for Europe is back campaigning! On the European Movement's Day of action, 20th November 2021, we were in the market asking 'Have you noticed any of the promised Brexit benefits?'
With no political party mentioning Brexit, the results were astounding. Before 2020 we always found members of the public who supported Brexit, but this damp Saturday we found NO-ONE willing to claim a benefit, and real anger, as stickers were slammed into the 'No' column. The best we could do was two 'not sures' against the question of benefits to education. Yes, we're back.
If you're a member of Lancaster for Europe, you'll have received notification of our Annual General Meeting on 1st December. A link to the zoom meeting will follow shortly. Hoping to see you there.
