We are the 48

We are the 48 who believe in the EU

We are the 48 who numbered 16,141,241 million

We are the 48 who see the immigrants working jobs the British people do not wish to work

We are the 48 who support workers rights as enshrined in EU legislation

We are the 48 who voted for an inclusive future

But we are not the 52.

 

We are the 48 who are European

We are the 48 who voted for peace

We are the 48 who see the EU as a bulwark against the rise of xenophobia and racism

We are the 48 who value our European neighbours

We are the 48 with a culture enriched by free movement of people

But we are not the 52.

 

We are the 48 who wish not to be little islanders

We are the 48 who see opportunity in a single market

We are the 48 who see in metric not imperial

We are the 48 who value human rights

We are the 48 who number over 50 among those under 44

But we are not the 52.

 

They are the 52 who believe in a country long gone

They are the 52 who believe in a country that never was

They are the 52 who believe in isolation in a global world

They are the 52 who have forgotten the horrors a fractured Europe can bring

They are the 52 who have forgotten xenophobia and nationalism fan the flames of hatred

They are the majority
