Dross was an inappropriate word and I apologise for that.
However I get incredibly fed up with the fact that people who voted to stay have refused to accept the result of a democratic vote.
The endless attempts to rerun the vote, to tell people who voted leave that they didn’t know what they were voting for, whilst conveniently forgetting the fact that remainers didn’t know what they were voting for either. Our membership of the EU wasn’t going to remain the same.
I am 56. The vote in 2016 was my first opportunity to have a say in our membership of the E.U.
I have never been comfortable with the EU. I dislike the fact that over the last few years the majority of the decisions seem to have been made by Angela Merkel, somebody who I have never voted for.
I think this is a great country, with a proud history of democracy, and of doing what is right, even when what is right might seem insane to outsiders.
As many people have said we are not leaving Europe. We will still be Europeans, and citizens of Europe. We will not however be citizens of the E.U.
I still love much about Europe - particularly the beer......!!!
I don’t wish ill on the EU, I hope for the sake of their people it is a success.
Yes I will celebrate on Friday. As well as the next stage in leaving the EU, One of the things that I will be celebrating is that fact that in spite of all, the democracy in this country has been preserved. I will get my Brexit 50p, and chuck it in the pot along with the other coins with pictures on. I will be pleased to have it, but it won’t be anything like as pleased I was to find the Sherlock Holmes 50p in my change.
That’s all.
