Since our 28th April auction, London has a new mayor. Meanwhile Boris Johnson, his Conservative predecessor, has thrown his considerable political weight behind the “Leave” campaign leading up to 23rd June’s “Brexit” referendum. As I write this, it is diffi cult to escape discussion and debate regarding the referendum, which the Conservative and Labour leaders are both campaigning on the same side of the fence, for once. Naturally, there is also the side- show of Boris’s inherent challenge to his party’s leadership. Divided opinions exist all across the country: as things stand, it looks as though my wife and I will be voting in opposite ways, unless one can convince the other ‘twixt now and then to change one’s view. My colleagues here at MS Group are similarly divided: our diverse views have stimulated some interesting and well-informed discussions here in the offi ce. Whatever our respective opinions, I hope for three things. Firstly, a high turn-out: this is an important decision that we all ought to take part in and feel responsible for. Secondly, not to fear either future: there has been much scare-mongering from the “Remain” side and EU-rubbishing from the “Leavers”, all of which I think should be treated with some suspicion. And thirdly, that we all embrace the nation’s decision, whatever the outcome. And we can all agree on one thing: as a nation, we are fortunate to be able to make such choices democratically. Our next auction will be on 29th September: as always at the Radisson Blu Portman Hotel. Do contact us if you’d like to sell something and would like our opinion as to saleability. In the meantime, if you’re considering buying one of the lots in this catalogue, don’t hesitate to ask us for advice if you need it. Good luck! Felix Rigg B.Mus.
