My local pub is having a Brexit party

[Flymetothetoon]

I know it's early but there are lots of pissed young men already in my local and Union Jack hats/flags/banners aplenty plus a buffet (still covered up for later). Am in the North. Anyone else?

Bugger! This is not how I wanted this thread to go

re the buffet, they are probably gammon sandwiches! ;)

3 pubs in our village all having Brexit parties

There will probably be fireworks where I am. They seem to let them off every time someone has a shit 😂😂

"There's a vigil in Sheffield."

Because they regret Brexit?

I'm just north of you, and 70% of the area I live in voted Brexit. I wouldn't be surprised if they were celebrating in our local tonight. DH and I were out delivering parish magazines earlier and came across one house with union flags everywhere.

What these xenophobic Brexiteers don't realise is that the Europeans who came over here to supply cheap labour will be replaced by people from further afield, then they will complain even more

I'm in NI, so I imagine the Brexit parties would have a Presbyterian influence- peach and chicken or cheese and grape sandwiches. Except those wee Presbyterian ladies are unlikely to go to a pub, so it'll have to be either sausage rolls or having a party in the orange hall, with soft drinks in those super thin plastic cups that crack.

There's "keeping the EU alive' events here in Liverpool.

Pro EU groups have nationally named there's 'Keep a light on' (for the EU) and there's groups getting together with lit candles etc. There's one of those as well in Liverpool.

Our nearest Brexit celebration is Warrington. Don't ask me why, we're fucked, here in the North West.

In the north east and just seen a Brexit party at a local come up on my fb page.

@Flymetothetoon. Wish I could be there with you!

You’re not allowed to mention anything positive without it turning into a bun fight.

Hope you have a good night!

Thank you @Best0ption I started this thread with no malice , no political agenda , just an observation of what is happening at my local pub in the North and I deliberately avoided the Brexit board because I didn't want to cause ire. Seems I was more than a little deluded!

Flymetothetoon . I think brexit is such an emotive subject that even a light hearted observation like yours will end end in a political debate. Will there be be vol au vents ???

Bestoption . No one knows if its positive.

Because they regret Brexit? the vote wasn't 100% in Sheffield or anywhere else.

What these xenophobic Brexiteers don't realise is that the Europeans who came over here to supply cheap labour will be replaced by people from further afield, then they will complain even more yes, I wonder when the penny will drop.

There are no Brexshit parties going on in my local area thank the lord.

I'm in London so thankfully cushioned somewhat from the horror of it all.

@wildflowersandweeds

Will there be traybakes?

😂

Yum

Serve them right, stupid fucks.

@ScorpionQueen undoubtedly! Can't beat a good fifteen!

DS made a blue cake with yellow stars today. Not sure about the amount of food colouring used but if anyone fancies a slice do come to our wake in about an hour.

I mean I was too young to witness WW2 but I'm still pleased we won

Leaving the EU isn't winning a war because it's not a war,you can't possibly seriously be comparing the two?

One of my friends is planning to ring a bell dolefully, dressed in black, on the Main Street of Tamworth at 11 pm, if anyone fancies joining him.

DH has stripped off and put on a leapard print frock to sing a spice girls song (scary spice obviously) does that make this better the buffet is brill

I'm politically ambivalent at this point but can be persuaded almost anywhere with the promise of cake. Whereabouts?

Sleeveen, I am tempted to call a cab right now I hope you will be keeping an eye on him, he's a brave man. Is he Julian Cope? I love him. I read that Cope once fell in love with a city centre when he was on LSD (I told DH that, and he asked: "Which one?")
