In the light of ever-increasing financial inequality, loss of bio-diversity through corporate habitat destruction and above all, the overwhelming threat of climate change destroying our planet, we should be concentrating our time and energy on working with all other nations to tackle these. According to the top climate change scientists we have only 12 years (ticking away fast) in which to convert to a carbon neutral life-style. This is an enormous challenge and our only hope of achieving it is with maximum global co-operation and understanding.

We simply do not have time for the divisions and bad feelings that Brexit is engendering. Could we therefore put it aside for now and concentrate our energy on the massive issues that threaten to engulf us? We still have a strong voice as part of Europe and we will need this if we are to have any potency in inspiring change with the global community, before it's too late.

It's now or never folks.
