There's no need for triumphalist gloating either.

Well it’s not what I wanted either, but we’ll just have to make the best of it.

And I dare say if I’d voted the other way, I’d be raising a glass myself. There’s no need for insults.

Well said vegansrock My 90 year old Mum said yesterday she will shed a tear on Friday, she is so upset about it. Not one of my family or friends are in any way wanting this.

I think it’s just repetition of a sound bite. One with no accuracy or understanding of historical context. But that’s just what we’ve come to expect.

Why feudalistic? Do you know what it means?

Have your evening of triumphalist nose-rubbing along with Farage and his infantile thugs. You’ll find just as many who think it is the biggest act of self harm and we are entering a period of yet more chaos. Many of us feel a sense of loss, with out our identity and freedoms removed. The only thing I’m looking forward to is the government having to take the blame for their incompetence and being unable to blame the EU. You will find your life will not magically improve and that your celebration rings hollow in many peoples ears. I will fly my EU flag. Enjoy.

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.
