I am not here with a narrow interest in Czech matters, although central to the petition is the saving of Czech, among other eastern European languages, as a language that can be taught—as it has been, but will be no longer—to degree level.I am moved to be here, because the petition links my interests, my Czech background and the not negligible fact that I probably had about 100 holidays in Scotland and that my family lived in Milngavie for quite a while when I was young.
