We jus need to get on with it and make it as successful as we can, because naval gazing is pointless because one thing I will guarantee is that in five years time politicians and economists will be able to cite reports and data that proves:

1. Brexit was good for the country, and

2. Brexit was bad for the country.

And that the extremists won't accept the data that doesn't correlate with their specified agenda

When it was all argument and rage, BBC couldn't leave Brexit alone.
Now, something as important as conclusion of the legislative process barely gets a mention.

The BBC's hypocrisy, pretending to be even handed, is staggering.

No harm in scrapping the BBC. ITV, Channel 4 and Sky can do the job (Sky needs a bit of impartiality training).

Universities and Science Minister Chris Skidmore has said that the UK will not implement the EU Copyright Directive after the country leaves the EU.
Several companies have criticised the law, which would hold them accountable for not removing copyrighted content uploaded by users, if it is passed.

Brexit outrage: Remainers say they will refuse to use EU exit commemoration coins


The new coin, a 50 pence piece, features the message: “Peace, prosperity, and friendship with all nations” as well as the Brexit date in smaller writing at the bottom.

Despite the coin's apparently benevolent message, pro-EU campaigners responded with outrage.

Lord Adonis, a Labour peer who has fought ardently to reverse Brexit, tweeted: “I am never using or accepting this coin.”

Meanwhile, Alistair Campbell, Tony Blair’s former spin doctor, shared a similar message as he claimed he will ask till workers for change to make up the 50p should he receive one in the future.


What a sad affair this losing the referendum is turning into.
anyhoo ill take as many as i can get could be worth a few quid in the future.
