Hello Jacob my son, If you want to know what is significant about the time when you were born apart from your birth I would say that your Island home of Britain is in the grip of a separation from the European Union. When you were born we were still in the European Union and there was a deadlock in parliament. None of the Mps could agree on how we would leave.
As a result, for the last 3 years, Continental Europe and Britain was playing poker with the well being of millions of people to gain an advantage and cut a better deal.
Your father is afraid but he keeps his chin up and carries on hoping Britain won't be driven into poverty in the 20s decade. You know the 20s better than me son. I have no idea what it will be like.
