European Guardian readers share their sadnesses and frustrations regarding BrexitI totally agree with Timothy Garton Ash’s article (My message to Europe: divulge us you want us to stay,13 December) and have told our numerous British friends again and again that we owe them and the whole country so much and will never accept their departure. I would like to add that it is incomprehensible that a whole nation allows a bunch of cynical ex-Eton boys to push the country to the brink of catastrophe. If it is accurate that only eight British schools deliver more students to Oxbridge than three-quarters of all others, one should not be surprised by the Brexit insanity.
It would be wonderful if positive forces could cooperate to prevent the catastrophe. European citizens in many countries would like to criticise and improve the EU together with their British friends. We know it is not perfect, and but it is precious.
