In case you hadn't guessed, Josh Barrie's 'freedom of movement' adventure was InterRailing. The piece comes complete with photos of the plucky millennial soaking up the delights of Europe; Irish bars in Amsterdam, hostels in Berlin, Barbie museums in Prague. It's a tale of museums and misdemeanours. If voting Remain would have meant more people writing about their gap years, then maybe we made the right decision after all.The thing is, those who voted to remain are right to feel angry. But to market a newspaper at "the 48%" is not to be united by a love for Europe, but rather a disdain for the 52%.Perhaps the New European isn't so bad. Perhaps it just grates because, for the first time in my political life, I've reached a point where I'm properly fed up with both sides of the argument. While this newspaper might contain some hot takes on post-Brexit Europe, while it might have some helpful hints as to the best cafés in Paris, it sends out a terrible signal. It's the same as everyone on your Facebook feed crying over the "uneducated idiots" who voted out or the video of a kissing chain throughout Europe or the illustrations of Boris Johnson snogging Donald Trump. Yeah, they're all sort of valid, but they all come from a place of bewildered resentment, a sort of baffled "yeah, but Europe is so lovely why would you chose Nigel Farage over vol-au-vents?""MY EUROPEAN YEAR 2011: JOSH BARRIE TELLS A FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT ADVENTURE"
