FBC's response to Brexit vote

Whilst FBC does not take a political line, we are disappointed with the result of the referendum because it is bound to make relations between the UK and the rest of Europe more difficult.  This underlines, however, the importance of the mission of the FBC;  we are determined to do everything we can to maintain and strengthen cross-Channel links.
