Happy Brexit Day - #BrexitDay

Today at 11PM GMT and Midnight CET, Britain will formally leave the EU.

There will be some who celebrate and some who mourn this event.

Either way the following points should be borne in mind:

1 What is done is done, wallowing in self pity or triumphalism will achieve nothing.

2 We leave on good terms with our friends on the Continent and intend to remain friends.

3 This is a new chapter in the history of the UK, let us not squander it but use it as an opportunity to move forward in a direction that will benefit everyone in the UK.

The Failure of The EU - Verhofstadt Spectacularly Misses The Point!

#Brexit is a failure of the Union. There is a lesson to learn from it: to deeply reform the Union. To make it into a real Union, a Union without opt-in, without opt-outs, without rebates, without exceptions. Only then we can defend our interests and defend our values. pic.twitter.com/asW7C5YK7A

What has the BBC done to that poor bulldog? 

Doubtless the BBC is trying to make a smart arsed political point, forgetting that it is meant to at least try to appear impartial!

Bugger The Bong - Beware The Fake Outrage!

I get the sentiment & reason for wanting it but If you knew how close we truly came to having no Brexit at all the last thing you would worry about was a bell.

This is now one of those fake outrage causes that non Conservative voting leavers are jumping on to try & shame Boris.
