Countdown to Brexit

[Mi-Amigo]

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.

Correct, @Cleoriff - every statement.

what is needed is co-operation, not isolationism.

So when we did decide to leave, why did the EU do their best to keep us isolated & not try to join the lines between our new future? It works both ways.

A chance to see BoJo put on the spot...

I don't normally like these longer, opinionated video podcasts, but he makes a few good points about the lies the country is being fed by the government-controlled press. Alas.

Haven't time as yet to listen to that @pgn ..will do later. I think the  rise in energy prices is horrific but we are stuck with it. 8 smaller companies have fallen by the wayside. However we can do something about lorry drivers if he (Boris) offered them temporary visas to come back and drive earning a fair wedge of money. Apparently that's not even on the table.. We have food rotting away because the producers are unable to get it to the supermarkets.

And the heating oil price here has gone through the roof in a week:

When we were out yesterday, we  filled the car up. Today a different ball game, Ray was out and said cars were queuing at every petrol station.  Don't panic said the government. Yeah right. 🙄

Very sorry to see this happening, but it was almost inevitable. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Or maybe it never does.
