Leave Means Leave Brexit Party at Parliament Square
A Brexit Party in Parliament Square as the UK officially leaves the EU.
Brexit Day – The UK leaves the European Union
Forty-seven years and 30 days after we joined. Three decades since the rot set in with the drive towards a United States of Europe. Seven years after David Cameron promised a referendum and 3½ traumatic years since Leave won it. It is hard to exaggerate the magnitude of this moment.
Happy brexit day
Britain, the first country to leave the European Union. May there by many more.
Today is a historic day. Today the UK breaks the TINA (there is no alternative) spell that has been the main driving force behind the neoliberal anti-democratic monster that is the EU. Today the wheels of history are set in motion again. There is always an alternative. #BrexitDay
