Make Britain Great Again, while stanley Johnson applied for a French Passport to get the benefits of being in the EU.

As Johnson said, the UK is well-positioned to do even more trade with the EU by erecting barriers to that trade. Oh, you Brits are so very clever. It must be because of all those ordinary people men of the people going to Eton. It is very strategic to have such a good school, free of charge, diverse, and open to all the public. Well done indeed.

Can someone tell me what’s the point of Brexit again?

I am feeling very sad this evening. Goodbye dear EU friends.

This is a massive success for England. They control immigration, gain full access of the EU market without paying tariffs and they don't have to pay compensation to access the EU market. Given how sweet this deal is for the UK, I wander why other member states will not want the same, therefore other EU member states will or should leave the EU and persue the same deal England has.

"But they're our closest trading partners. They're not likely to stop you, are they? (2:00)
"Yes I think they will be, yeah".
[They're also our closest competitors, & it wasn't the French population who voted for this]

Must under 40s think Brexit is stupid, so you can work out the general direction of travel.
Brexit is a blip.

We did it. A massive thank you to all those who fought to ensure the UK's democratic vote was upheld, against those that sought to thwart it. Happy New Years!

The irony is we will spend the next 20 years integrating again and end up in a worst position that we would have been inside, but near the exit door. Which is roughly where we were
