Is independence day!
After forty years of being tied to this unaccountable, undemocratic bureaucracy, we are finally breaking free. After three and a half years of undemocratic attempts to undermine the biggest democratic vote in modern times, we have won. Today is independence day.
Enjoy.
Some sour faces in the EU Parliament today apparently. Best not rub their noses in it eh?
Dear Mr Longrider
I have a little list of things which must be so before we are truly out:
No more payments to the eu
We control our borders
No further eu directive, regulation or decision will apply to the UK
Our ultimate court of appeal is the Supreme Court and its successor
Northern Ireland is an integral part of the UK
We have control of our farming
We have control of our fisheries
We are no longer a part of the EU customs union or single market
HS2 is cancelled
Stephen Barclay, Brexit secretary said he had a ‘gut feeling’ that HS2 would get the go-ahead on the Andrew Marr show on 26th January. As supposed minister for Brexit, this suggests he knows we aren’t leaving any time soon and the dead hand of the eu will continue to drag us down.
I won’t be celebrating until we are out or the eu is dead, which ever comes first.
If we continue to fund the eu, we should still have MEPs. No MEPs, no funds.

Mr DP
Please don’t forget the UKs commitment to the EIB(European investment bank) singed up to by the dry old hag May, this runs to many 10s if not 100s of billions of pounds, to bail out the EIB in event of the euro going tits up, which it will.
Yeah. I’m guessing that when it becomes politically convenient this guarantee will be repudiated. Probably not while trade negotiations are ongoing though…
Dear David
If May signed it, May can pay.

Legally we will be out but still a rule taker because of this wretched transition. I just know that when the parties talk on 3rd of March it will be demands from the EU not negotiation. That’s why I think we should bin the transition, cut off the money and then talk to the EU whilst running on WTO.
today is purgatory day – arent we in a worse position once we “leave” until the end of December. Dont trust Boris to leave properly, will hold my celebrations until we are no longer under the ECJ. not taking their rules, not aligning to there rules going forward, paying them cash, and Ni isnt seceded to the EU as it is now. hes busy nationalizing the railways, wasting billions on HS2, selling our data and security to Peking may as well have voted Corbyn ( not that I voted Tory)
