A few days after the Brexit referendum a 10 year old Spanish boy asked me why we, the British, didn't want to be with them, the Spanish, and the rest of Europe. He seemed puzzled and nobody had been able to explain it to him. He ended the short conversation by saying, 'I just don't understand'. Two years on he is now 12 or so and he heard the word Brexit mentioned in conversation between me and someone else. 'Brexit nooo!' he cried and waved his finger as if to put a stop to it. I asked him if he was still upset about it all and he paused for a few seconds and then said 'to be honest, I couldn't care less what you do now'.
