Brexit and Star Trek
5 min readJun 24, 2021
There is now a new Star Trek series that follows along from the Star Trek of my childhood. Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, Jeri Ryan and others came back in a new series and a second season is coming later this year. I never thought I’d see the day! At the same time, we are five years on from the Brexit vote, and I was reminded of something I wrote days after the referendum itself back in 2016. It seemed appropriate to return to it.
