@danbarker On a holiday in Rome, at the age of 15, I saw Joseph Ratzinger (later elected Pope Benedict XVI) cross the street, recognised him and went up to him to say hello, followed by a short conversation. I think I recognised him because my father had subscribed to L'Osservatore Romano.

"44 years I've been selling fish. And overnight, it's pretty much been destroyed."

A fisherman speaks up about his regrets voting for Leave. Hats off for going public. It would have been so much easier for him to take his lumps in silence. We need many more voices like his.
