EU and Brexit thoughts

As an Italian citizen, despite over 16 years of life in the UK and a full integration into work, society and schooling system, I was not eligible to vote for the Brexit referendum in June 2016; yet it created a massive disturbance in my life. The posts to come are a simple summary of my thoughts relating to this event and its ongoing effects. I like thinking about things, I read a lot, and often my thoughts re-express something I picked up elsewhere and I won't remember the source - sorry, this is just my blog, not a science paper!
