Jas Jones: Broken Link
1st May 2025
—
Broken Link is based on the Channel Tunnel and how it was a significant milestone. This is because it was the first direct link between the UK and Europe, boosting the economy and general access. This milestone took 100 years of failed planning and attempts before the two countries, agreed on construction. 20 years from its completion, Britain left the European Union after a 52% win in a referendum, starting a process commonly known as Brexit; this wasn’t such a positive milestone, restricting the UK’s connection to Europe and the European Union. This vote changed our trade deals, jobs, economy, travel rules and foreign residencies. The book aims to educate and emphasise the efforts that made an incredible connection between the UK and Europe. The tunnel provided freedom of movement and a connection to other cultures giving the opportunity for everyone to learn and develop.
