Countdown to Brexit

Mi-Amigo — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 19:42:10 GMT

The UK leaves the EU at 23.00hrs [11pm] tonight.

According to BBC News online see here

The British flag has been removed from its pole outside the European Parliament in Brussels and replaced with the flag of the European Union.

A clock counting down to the moment the UK leaves the EU will be projected on to Downing Street.

At 22.00 [10pm]: Boris Johnson will address the nation in a video message.

At 23.00 [11pm], Big Ben will not chime due to ongoing renovation works.

Nothing has changed in this country for years, I don’t suppose leaving a load of bankrupt nations will change that!

If only it had stayed as EEC European Economic Community - things would have been better

At 18 I voted yes to go into EEC - a no-brainer att

I also voted Remain again a no-brainer for me

I am all confused now

Had the misfortune of catching part of Farage's speech in between programmes. What an obnoxious, objectionable piece of excrement that guy is.

I can't stand another year of this Brexit stuff all over the news.

Today also coincidentally saw the end of the January transfer window at the same time of 11pm. Guess which of the two events was my priority?

The BIG question is: are we now going to lose roaming benefits within Europe???

Ordinary citizens will be losers in every respect.

Re: Countdown to Brexit

@Menetekel

There will be no changes to roaming (or anything else) for the next 11 months during the transition periods

Re: Countdown to Brexit

TallTrees — Sat, 01 Feb 2020 08:42:43 GMT
