National News The Brexit Thread 🇬🇧🇪🇺

[Peterdev]

Are many on here celebrating brexit?
Only a week away now.
Never thought we would leave.
Still lots of things to happen, but looking Forward to raising a glass of Chapel Down.
After that hopefully celebrating a fine win over Newcastle whilst contemplating the fifth round

We are also looking at a bottle of Chapel Down My grandad lived in the village in Kent where that is made.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

No. Not celebrating.

There’s a sparkling one but it’s around £27.00....we had a nice one at £13.99 last week

 

[Malc]

Definitely not celebrating ?

 

[QR]

Still don't understand what you think there is to celebrate. Serious question BTW.

 

[Basham Wonderland]

For me a quiet bottle of wine. And I promised I would send my friend in London a bottle of champagne if we left (back in 2015) so she can celebrate too.

 

[carefreeoufc]

Probably going to do the sensible thing and wait until the end of the year before celebrating. Other than leaving the EU I can’t see what the reason to celebrate would be.

I’d like to celebrate when we have great new trade deals, a thriving economy which outgrows the EU, improved rights for people of the UK (now we’re no longer subject to the laws of the European Union), increased spending in public infrastructure, national unity and so on.

Until then it feels a little premature to be celebrating leaving without actually seeing the improvements we’ve been told will happen.

I voted to remain but am quite at ease with us leaving (and celebrating doing so) as long as the promises and benefits are realised.

 

[Foley]

We may have technically left, but the hardest part by some way is still to come (the negotiating the trade deal with the EU and other Countries)

 

[Peterdev]

I agree the hardest part is yet to come and then of course there is the small matter of running the country

 

[arthurturner]

Still don't underdressed what you think there is to celebrate. Serious question BTW.

One should never celebrate whilst underdressed.

Well, we’ve taken back control, haven’t we? No more will our bananas have to have their shape dictated by the evil EU! Plus we have £350m a week extra for the NHS which is good with all these horrible foreign viruses about. Not that they will come here now we control our borders!

Mo Salah did a while back and it got him a booking

Don't forget the Blue passports.

To celebrate Brexit next weekend would be like celebrating a successful forthcoming football season, in August, before a ball has even been kicked.
Lots of potental for egg on face and also a bit tin pot.

So, you are sending someone a bottle of French wine to celebrate us leaving the EU? ? ? ?

 

[Gary Baldi]

Cigar, glass of wine (or two (or three)) and a big smile that after all the shenanigans over the past 3 1/2 years, we can finally look to the future.

 

[Gary Baldi]

And the continued bleating from the like of Hugh Grant will only make the feeling ever sweeter when we go.

Here's an interesting fact - champagne existed before the EU ?

 

[SteMerritt]

It did. Although if you can't see the irony...

 

[Gary Baldi]

It did. Although if you can't see the irony...

Or rather, some people don't have strictly defined lines on which they can celebrate leaving the EU to prove a political point, etc. Or perhaps even, you are missing the point too.

 

[Londonroader1]

Celebrate? Celebrate what exactly?

The UK produces some of the best sparkling wine in the world.

Good to know, I'll have to give it a go sometime. Though be it fancy French stuff or our own variety, I can't stand sparkling wine!!

 

[SteMerritt]

That's something I can most definitely agree with you on.

 

[Essexyellows]

11pm on Friday I shall be soundly asleep and miss the delivery of something we voted for almost 4 years ago.
The generic lack of celebration probably shows that Leavers have more class & respect than remainers who have been trying to de-rail the democratic will of the people for some time..... ?

 

[tonyw]

Been trying to work out - what exactly happens on Friday, with regards Brexit?

Britain stops getting represented in EU meetings? We stop paying into the EU budget......but do get a 33 billion pound bill? Anything else?

Strikes me that not many changes will be noticeable until the end of the year......and what that will look like, who the hell knows?

Waitrose has Chapel Down Bacchus Down sparkling reduced from £18 to £13.50 at present.

Some think the UK will crash and become unable to function without the EU on Brexit Day.

Well they're idiots and not worth listening to. Why bother?
