British positivity?!! Really? Well, I suppose time will tell, but honestly, I don't feel very positive right now. ?

You must like the smell of beer and fags then.

I've never particularly liked the smell of beery breath.

It was a “knuckle dragging carnival” with shirtless drunks climbing over the statue of Churchill. Good report here with plenty of pictures.

This feels more like a wall going up than the euphoria when the Berlin Wall came down and families and a country were reunited.

Did they have a secret supply of epilepsy meds for 2021 onwards?

Oh and Farage singing the National Anthem almost made me heave

Listen, 'leave' won, we get it
Please have some decorum
Just please try to understand that people are very worried and very uncertain
Lovely that you made new friends though ?

You must be feeling brave tonight ananimous grin

I was so disgusted with the far right salutes and jollies that I could be sick
Afraid I just find your threads constantly trying to stir the pot
However you feel the way you like to put the boot in is far from attractive

Well if you like the sight of shaven headed tattooed men with their shirts off drunkenly shouting “ f***ng do one” and giving Nazi salutes then I’m sure it was for you. I am not pedantic, but the spelling of “independence” is rather crucial .

Hubby and I have just got back from Parliament Square celebrations (stayed longer than planned as the atmosphere was electric!) - We all made so many new friends (both leavers and remainers) - Hellllllo to the "Backing Singers"! grin And Tenby Angels Helllooo - Hopefully we will see some new members joining GN. (I've warned them about the welcoming committee, don't worry). wink
There is definitely a wonderfully, optimistic buzz in the UK!
I love this British wave of positivity.
Reminds me of the Berlin Wall coming down.
