Farrow & Ball, based in Wimborne, Dorset, had the benefit of EU protection of intellectual property for their colour names like "Mole's Breath" and "Nancy's Blushes".

Now, with no EU freedom of movement, they have to register names twice. More costs. More bureaucracy.

Steve Bullock's (@guitarmoog.bsky.social) 2018 speech at Final Say For All in Brussels has been mentioned in a letter to Bucks Free Press. "This myth. That we were run by the EU. Or that we were steamrollered by the EU. Or that other people were deciding. It's a total myth. It's an absolute myth".

Bluesky users, what do you think of these two letters about the European Union in Bucks Free Press on the 21st of March? "We don't need more Eurocrats control" and "We're out the EU, and staying out".

There's an art plaque and sculpture under the railway bridge near Folkestone's train station saying, "The Luckiest Place on Earth". What would you wish for?

Folkestone is an art school? Let's see. :-)

On my way to Folkestone for a conference on the future of the NHS.

Great to see the Bravarian, Liverpudlian, Cosi Doerfel Hill who seems formidably well informed on EU citizens' rights in the UK, at the Common Ground conference.

It was a pleasure to go to the EU-supported Common Ground meeting in London yesterday.

I met people representing Northern Ireland, Scotland, Romania, Germany, Sri Lanka, the University of Lincoln and the British Council.

Thank you to the organisers.

With the wonderful Elena Remigi at the Common Ground conference in London for EU citizens in the UK.
