On the eve of the EU Referendum

The EU Referendum is tomorrow, and I'm terribly worried about the outcome. Tilly & I want to stay IN the European community of writers, artists & scholars. Don't shut us out! We support Remain.

Since this is pet-loving Britain, there is of course a Mutts4Remain hashtag...and the wonderful goofiness of it is one of the many reasons I love my adopted country. (There are CatsAgainstBrexit too.) I don't want it to turn into anti-Europe, anti-immigrant Fortress Britain. Building walls out of fear is a terrible idea, whether it's Trump in America or Johnson, Gove, and Farage over here.

I am an immigrant. And like so many immigrants, I give to the UK much, much more than I've ever taken.
