Off Topic 29 March - Happy Brexit Day everyone

29 March 2017 will be my political equivalent of Clive Mendonca's hat trick at Wembley.

Nearly 30 years after Lady Marge cried "no, no, no" the good people of England will cry "yes, yes, yes" as we finally invoke Article 50 and begin the process to leave the stinking, rotten and corrupt EU.

The end of my own personal 30 year campaign leaves me feeling like an emu that has finally hatched an egg. What a great day tomorrow promises to be for us English folk.

We soon go back to making our own laws. Trading with who we want, letting in who we want, and living alongside who we want.

No more being told not to grow bent bananas. No more being dictated to and held to ransom by tiny, tinpot dictatorships (but enough of Sturgeon and the SNP) . And back to having plumbers and builders called Bert and Sid. Local jobs that our own people need.

Wednesday 29 March - the date when 40 years of being chained to an obscene ball and chain from Brussels finally starts to come to an end.

We are getting the Old Country back

 

But are we getting the old Country back and what does that mean exactly.

 

Milk maids cycling to church down country lanes.
Noel Edmunds Swap Shop on a Saturday morning.
Being allowed to smoke on public transport.
Butchers shops and greengrocers.
Jeeves and Wooster.
9 hours of football on Cup final day.
Your only experience of Scotland having to be a Rod Stewart song on the radio.

Ruddy cheeked English folk.

Rule Britannia !

 

Post of the century, Vol. Brought a tear to my eye.

Hurrah for England!

 

Let's hope that Brexit turns out to be the Utopia you envisage.

 

Not utopia, that is a canard oft repeated by the Remoaners.

Just a country in which we elect the people who make our laws and set our taxes, and then get to boot them out if we disagree with them.

Nobody elected Herr Juncker or the EU commission

 

If it's not Utopia why are the Brexiteers on cloud 9?

 

How many banannas bent or straight do we grow then?


You are in for a huge disappointment if you think Brexit is the answer.
The country will be on its knees if May dont change her mind...

 

i think that brexit was a shame, there should have been a third option of massive reform but the eu dont like being told what to do, or listening to sensible suggestions.

one of the massive benefits of leaving are now we're in charge of our own finances and not needing cheap overseas labour (of even if we do need it we can cherry pick), this will hopefully close the doors on the nutters, extremists and benefit tourists. there is no amount of financial benefit in the world that could levy against what happened in Westminster last week - this did not happen prior to the mass european immigration we've seen since the late 90's.

 

Because we believe in national sovereignty and being governed only by people we elect.

 

I hope the fishing industry recovers from the crippling eu policy

 

As a libertarian I'm happy that we are finally invoking Brexit. Finally moving away from "big" government and away from a United States of Europe.

Irrespective of what people say, we will be more of a "global" country out of the EU than in it.

 

You do know that last weeks nutter was not an immigrant. He was born here 52 years ago.

 

The fishing industry has been crucified by the EU. Our fishermen throw most of their catch back so the Estonians can meet their quota.

 

am aware. the influence of these nutters (and only the nutters as immigrants in general are good) coming in would have been what contributed to him going fully nuts

 

No way you can know that....
He was a scumbag when he was Christian.
Not in anyway condoning it but throwing unsubstantiated theories about isnt wise imvho.

 

fair enough! i cant really find the right words to put it any better, but the gist of it is at least now we can control the sort of people / influences we have coming here.

the last 20 years have been pretty grim for the uk what with recessions, terrorism, sh1t governments. i'm hopeful a new start improves us in everyway (more global etc)

 

Can we ban religion?


The bigger worry for the average Joe should be the Tories being in charge for the foreseeable future, not brexit.

 

Will be in until 2030, minimum.
The country is in very safe hands

 

Another 12 years of austerity which has been a resounding success
