It’s Brexit Day
- Thread starter Zutroy
- Start date
There's going to be a lot of Smug boomers today talking about how this is our "Independence Day"
Insufferable.
Still, the inevitable has come to pass, hopefully things don't become royally fucked.

I am surprised they actually made it go through. For a while there it seemed like they were just going to spend a decade arguing over the terms and delaying the exit.
What ended up being the final agreement? What happens to the border with Ireland? Are Scotland and Wales still sticking around?

My local is going to be full of insufferable cunts tonight.
I'll be honest I legitimately thought that when we went through three rejected Theresa May deals last year we stood an outside chance of having the whole thing called off.
Hope the gamble for re-election was worth it Cameron you absolute turd.

Just feel sick TBH, feel like a part of my identity has been ripped away from me.
Sorry EU friends, please believe me when I say we're not all ignorant and small minded. Plenty of us don't want this.

Errr... immediate changes?
... German citizens will no longer be able to be extradited to the UK.
The only good thing to come out of Brexit and it's not even good for the UK.
Good job, UK.
Millions of people are having rights and identities they were born with taken away from them against their will and we get to watch cunts wave little flags to celebrate it, and everyone is just kinda shrugging and resigned to it at best.
Fuck them. This is a very sad day that I hope to reverse in my lifetime.

It feels awful and the hangover is going to last until the end of this year too. We're out, but nothing changes until Jan 1.
Fucking gross feeling in my stomach

I live in the North West, UK
Desperately sad, but it needs to come to pass. I've fought and fought against it, talking to people, pushing for a second ref, learning and following every piece that outlined how compromised the referendum was along with the negative effects...but fuck it. People need to see the effects at this point so we may somehow get over this shitty populism dominated period.
Slow decline awaits, with a drop at the end of the transition period.
Fuck Boris Johnson for being a compromised twat, fuck Jeremy Corbyn for being an ineffective twat who didn't like the EU anyway, fuck Jo Swinson for not doing more to avoid the slide to a GE in November and fuck our social and normal media overlords for allowing a slide into cyber McCarthyism that enabled this.
EU friends - I will always love and believe in the European project

None of this has been organised. The rough agreement says if things aren't settled by the end of 2020 we leave with nothing on all fronts.
Well done to all involved.
This is just the beginning, not the ending. UK is technically out of the EU, but it's still tied to TONS of regulations that the UK will be bemoaning for years.
So they basically just delayed everything except the formal exit?
This happening on the same day that the impeachment trial is reaching its zenith is proof that the Anglo-American world are two sides of the same coin.
This is me too.
I was born an EU citizen and I always felt good about that, I don't really give a toss about being British or English I'm more interested in being part of a larger union
Despite not living in UK, it feels to me like part of my identity is taken too.
The first exit from EU. Will the European Union crumble? Other states follow?
I have always seen myself as European (yeah, I know. Brits will remain "European" but you get what I mean. United under one flag.) first.
You can't just stop being European. This seems so irritating and unfair. It should be birthright...

My game plan for tonight. Not keen on seeing Nigel's gurning mug everywhere.
Nah, if anything the EU is safer because of this. Most far right parties in Europe suddenly became very quiet about leaving the EU....
Yeah, I just shrug my shoulders and plod on. Nothing else I can do really, time to just get on with it.
Truly a sad day. Feels like these regressive arseholes have stolen part of my identity and now I'm stuck with little Englanders and pub politics.
Guy Fawkes was hung, drawn and quartered 413 years ago today. 185 years ago today a man fires a pistol at President Jackson but the firearm misfires. 155 years ago the US abolishes slavery.
Meaning? Who is to say...?
Nothing really changes till January 1st next year. That day has way more importance than than today/tomorrow.
Good luck, global Britain. You'll need it.

I wonder what these bozos will do. Seems like Torys are hell bent on following US (well, thats been the case since Thatcher).
I guess corporates will get huge tax cuts in order to attract new investments and jobs. Dailymail has been going on and on about knife attacks in london so it would seem UK needs private prison industry as well and that will be accompanied by harsher prison sentences. And envoirmental protection will stop so UK can cut EU prices in manufacturing.
I hope Scotland at least would try to vote for their freedom once again. So all wouldn't be lost.

Ive got a work trip to Germany in a couple of weeks and a trip to Paris the month after. So yeah, just gonna carry on as normal.
Ah well. Let's see what political horrors the transition period brings but other than that, we don't have much choice but to see how it goes.
Hopefully the first day of the new, Great British Empire. The EU will rue the day they let loose their prisoner, for now they face a great competitor just on their doorstep and Britannia does not forget or forgive.
I assume this will also spell the end of the European project itself.

I'll be avoiding any and all news today, the mere mention of it makes my blood boil. I am looking forward to correcting people who proudly state "see, everything's fine" from tomorrow when nothing has actually happened, so there's that.
No, we've taken back control of the atlas. We are a continent in and of ourself, as has clearly always been the case. *plays Rule Britannia*
