Dear People of the European Union, I am writing this letter for and on behalf of the United Kingdom to extend our heartfelt apologies for the impact of Brexit on the people of the European Union, and for the personal insult, distress and uncertainty it has caused. I didn't vote for Brexit, I voted to remain and I have had to learn to respect and accept the outcome of the referendum and it's many consequences. On the day of the results, back in 2016, I was driving a French TV News crew around London. Pierre the TV News programme producer turned to me at 4am, as the crew prepared their equipment…

Howard Marks 1945 – 2016

"In the early hours of 10th April 2016, Howard Marks died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by his four loving children.
