Today, I bore witness again to an incredible, massive show of peace and unity, following Pride that was held last week. Organisers estimate that 50,000 people marched to Parliament Square in the anti-Brexit, pro-EU protest, which was also meant to be a show of solidarity for Europe, Europeans, and other immigrants in the UK. There was a real sense of a shared identity among the British and (as) Europeans, Europeans with (as) the British, and a warm welcome for other globals like myself, as Londoners. Viva diversity!
