Bye, Bye Great Britain – Welcome Little Britain!

“Get Brexit done!” said those supporting leaving the EU until recently. Since the weekend this has been achieved. But nothing more – and probably soon also the leave-supporters among my fellow countrymen will realize, that this is not the future that we can wish for our children.
My daughters had planned to study in England. As we have heard the price for a semester abroad (seen from Germany where I live…) will probably double. How many families will be able to afford this?

This is indeed a very good outlook for this year and my family and I deeply appreciate this cheerful greeting. Thank you very much indeed and let’s all hope for a good year 2020!
