You are aware that freedom of movement, goods and so on doesn't stop in 17 minutes from now, yes?

Happy Brexit Day

And now we get to see how conservatives will blame everyone else for the negative consequences of their actions.

Don't worry he will just keep making more ''tick tock'' posts for the next 11 Months.

I also find it ironic that a country that didn't follow like 1/3th of the EU things to begin with but still had 100% of the benefits is celebrating ''freedom'', yet every Brexiteer I personally talk with can't give me any solid answer as to what exactly they are free off now, all I get I ramble answers like '' free from the EU bullies '' or '' no more immigration '' , yet they all hire Polish people if they need to build a house or garage, not to mention all the NHS staff like doctors and nurses who come from a wide range of EU countries.

Good riddance. Looking forward to get rid of the UK whining, so the EU can focus on other things, nd of course present the UK with a ‘our way or get lost’ trade deal.

[Pann]

Well... that's it then ... so long and thanks for all the fish... no that's not right...

See ya around, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Thank god I don't have to see that frogface Farage in the EUP anymore.

Just more evidence that the English should never be put in charge of anything, lol. If they can't run their own country without it going up in flames like low-cost side cladding what hope is there of England being able to participate in an international community with other countries?

There's no one there Dribbles, you can tell by the wide open spaces on the street between people. That part of London is almost never that empty.

Yes, we're well aware Brexit was in part a Russian effort to try and destabilise the EU thanks.

Ahh, that's true, that's true. By the way, how's the impeachment going? Having fun? Need some help?

[Gaidax]

Glad this nonsense is done with, really.

I mean, however it proceeds that particular shitshow has an expiration date.

There's no constitutional term limit that'll stop Europe east of the Dnieper from Balkanizing, however.

Democracy really worked in UK !
Too bad I live in US.

Bout as well as expected. People as stupid as the people who voted for Brexit run the senate. I mean McConnel literally said on live TV he'd violate his impeachment oath and your American equivalents couldn't wait till McConnel finished in their mouth.

It's a blessing for the EU and the US though. Now we can bend a much weaker country over the barrel with the trade deals. The best part being if the UK wants to trade with the EU in any comparable fashion/volume as before and not tank your economy you're gonna be behold to their rules. Except this time where you used to be one of the top dogs calling the shots you're the bitch they get to ignore . I gotta hand it to ya though I think Americans were gonna take the moron gold but you Brits sure as hell outplayed us.

Exactly. Britain couldn't have made a stupider choice if they'd tried. This will bolster Scotland to leave and join the EU and tank Britain's economy.

Doesn't Scotland have to leave the UK then apply to join the EU?

[cubby]

Doesn't Scotland have to leave the UK then apply to join the EU?

I am not the right person to ask. But IIRC, Scotland does need to leave the UK, then apply. I thought I heard about a short circuit method where they could retain some kind of EU membership vis a vis their affiliation from when Britain wasn't insane.
