Anyway Lads, just 3 days and a few minutes until we achieve Independence and walk away from the EU. I really don’t mean to crow or upset anyone, but I am really looking forward to Friday Night, I’ve even arranged an extension in the pub.....

Genuine question Pete. Are you confident a good majority of your regulars support Brexit? For me, any pub/restaurant that puts on a gig for Friday night to "celebrate" is dead to me.

And just for the hell of it, give me 3 actual real positive things to look forward to as a consequence of leaving on Friday night. Please. Just 3 real things.

Our own pub is not doing anything special because we would not wish to offend anyone who didn’t like what was voted for. We will however remain open for those that wish to celebrate to do so, and for those who voted remain and respect the vote to join in.

Sovereignty, Giving the U.K. voters the ability to change the ruling administration, No membership fee......

'no membership fee' utter madness

I think the hardest thing is the lack of any real 'manifesto' to get behind. I don't think anyone is any the wiser about what the post-Brexit world will look like, as all we've had are meaningless platitudes, with the government trying to be as vague as possible, both to avoid having any commitments to actually stick to, and also to be all things to all people.

I mean do YOU know what Brexit will actually mean? What's the strategy? The sad thing is, that it seems most Brexiters are happy enough to just be out, and it was never a case of "we need to be out so that we can do this, that and the other", as not once have any of the people here who voted for Brexit said anything along the lines of "you know what, I really think being out of the EU will allow us to do ....... so much better than we can now, and woe betide the government if they don't deliver it..."

Some of what you say is fair and others not so.

I agree it is more difficult to pigeon hole Brexit because it means different things to different people. I doubt anybody will be completely happy with what we end up with. Remain is what it say's on the tin, although even then, I don't think anybody can predict with any degree of accuracy where staying in the EU would have taken the country over the next 10 or 20 years. But again, I agree, that leaving the EU brings a lot more uncertainties.

I have a good idea of the sort of things I want to see happen, but I accept many Brexiteers would not fully agree with me. One day, when I have a bit more time on my hands, I'll put down in print some of those things, but I doubt there is anything in there that I haven't already mention in these pages before. Some of them will no doubt not happen. Even this early on, I am unhappy with our proposed plans for immigration, which completely overlooks our need for low skilled manual work especially in the service industry. I'm even more disappointed in Johnson already ruling out an extension to the transition period. There is so much to sort out in such a short period that it is ludicrous not to accept any flexibility that will ensure we get the right deal.

So in answer to your question, I know what I would like to happen, but obviously haven't got a clue what is actually going to happen because a) I don't know what the governments plans are, and b) there are many negotiations to take place before those plans come to fruition.

I don't believe the government strategy will have been fully formulated yet, but you have to put some of the blame on that on the EU for insisting on us leaving before negotiating the future relationships, and on Parliament for basically not agreeing to a withdrawal agreement. To date, all the emphasis has been on getting a WA in place. Regrettable, but understandable. I'd like to think they are working hard on coming up with a proper strategy, and we get to hear bits and bobs on certain things from the relevant govt ministers. I imagine some of it will be sensitive to the upcoming negotiations with the EU, but where there is no EU involvement I agree that the Govt should inform the public as soon as they can.

I also think it is unfair of you to say nobody on here has said what we expect going forward. I certainly have and others have too. The problem is you have all just consistently dismissed what we have said. As I said, I'll take the effort one day soon to go through some idea's of what I would like to see going forward over the next few years. But I already know that it will be torn to pieces on here and I'll end up either biting my lip and ignoring the comments, or spending countless hours defending my views.
 
2 more days boys and the were there, no more ORRRRRDEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR. No more votes. No more Corbyn talking about the 4 day week, i mean talk about a fantasy manifesto.

Sorry mate no surgery tomorrow, I've done me 4 days lad.

Don't drink too much. Remember you've got to be up early in the morning for your shift at the homeless shelter......
 
So Farage uses his farewell speech to lambast the EU. Could have been copied and pasted from some posts on here, and frankly that embarrassing his mic was cut off.

After the ratification vote, the MEPs from across the continent sang Auld Lang Sine (sic). Which is an appreciation of long and valued friendships in essence.

Classy man that has sold many, 17.4 million I think, an absolute pup.

But hey, "we" won.

Seeing those utter morons waving their flags after such a moving show of unity and appreciation by so many European MEPs towards Britain is utterly embarrassing. Shame on all those who allowed these cretins to represent us, you're a stain on this country.
