Hurrah! We're getting OUT at last!

But it seems strange to me that there is so little talk/news on the media about this. Before the General Election everything was about Brexit. To the point that even I got sick to death of it! But it's all gone quiet since then. Are there to be no celebrations from all those who voted to leave? (Sad that Big Ben won't even mark this historic event.)

(I was talking to a young woman the other day, and she didn't even know that we were leaving the EU on Friday!)

I can't really celebate in style, as most of my family wanted to remain -otherwise I would have had a party! So it will be a bit of a damp squib for me!

I shall still open a bottle of champers and toast this great country of ours - our democracy, our integrity - and now, at last, our freedom from a corrupt and self-serving feudalistic state.

Either way, it's an historical event we were able to witness- Here in the US, Republicans just undercut the framers of our Constitution, carving out a backwards path towards a monarchy ..

Woo hoo!

Not ..

King Donald, anyone?

So why the fuss? Because certain posters can't stand other people being happy merlotgran, I suggest you ignore them.

GG3. Nobody is expecting the world to be changed tomorrow.

So why the fuss?

Party poopers abound!

Idiots who think the world will be changed in the morning certainly do.

Somebody in our little corner of the village has set off fireworks.

Must be something better they could spend their money on, surely?

No partying here - all a damp squib really, though I hear the local Wetherspoons are celebrating something....

Oh and by the way, where is Johnson, with his words of wisdom?

Any premise put as an OP under News and Politics is open to challenge Opal. I have no idea why you don't understand that. You cannot dictate to people what they think or what they say even or even accepting your banning of their comments, though you seem to have the hubris to believe you can. It is incredibly rude and arrogant to try and do so.

I assumed this was just a celebratory thread to commemorate an historic event. A ‘virtual’ party if you like.

No GGMK3, I couldn't care less, I just don't understand why you keep commenting on a thread that is obviously celebratory in nature, when you are such a doom and gloom merchant. You must be an absolute joy at a party .......

Does it matter if I am unkind to leavers who are determined to rub everyone's nose in this desperate night? NO merlotgran.

Opal whatever a thread starts as the bossy ones cannot insist on what is discussed on it. Or have you decided, single-handedly decided that you will have this your way too?

None of us can do more than guess what’ll happen in the next moment, let alone be so certain of the good or bad effect of leaving Europe. All we can do is get up to a new day and keep on keeping on.

At 23.00 hours as remainer I will be lighting a candle. I am very sad. This is my 1st and will be my last thread on Brexit.
I can only hope for a better future for us all.

Have you all no other friends to share this moment

That's rather an unkind comment, GG3

Would you say the same to Gnetters who come on at Christmas?

Nobody is forcing you to read this thread.

No, the sad people are the ones who come onto a celebratory thread in order to spread their stupid messages of doom and gloom. If you don't like the celebrations and happy messages, then why don't you leave the party?
