I come from a family of immigrants who were welcomed in by Great Britain.
90 years ago in 1935 my family (on my father’s side) arrived in London fleeing Jewish persecution in N**i Germany. 50 years later, in 1985, they threw a ’Thank You Britain Party’ . In the picture, that’s my great uncle Hanns clapping his hands and his twin brother Paul in the red tails and top hat.
180 years ago in 1843, my family (on my mother’s side) arrived in London after fleeing pogroms in Prussia and Anti-Jewish hatred in Belgium. They went on to set up the biggest catering company in the world J. Lyons (Corner Houses, Lyons Tearooms etc) employing more than 30,000 people, during WW2 their factories supported the Allies war effort, and later still they invented the world’s first business computer (LEO) and built the country’s first hamburger chain (Wimpy).
Twice this amazing country has offered a safe haven for my family.
Twice my family has been extremely grateful.
Thank you Britain.
Let’s make sure others can thank Britain in the future.
