Brexit Arms: Election Night Lock-In

Welcome to the Brexit Arms - it's going to be a stormy old night! We're about to be buffeted from right to left and back again with no real idea what the landscape will finally look like in the morning. All are welcome to weather the storm in the warmth and safety of the Arms - but please remember this a hospitable establishment so let's try and keep it that way.

We're kicking off the evening with our Back to the 70's theme night while we wait for the big main event to unfold. The juke box is loaded with all your 70's favourites. Feel free to dance round your handbags but please, no dancing on the tables…. this could be seen as having too much fun.

As always, we've got a nice big pot of PG Tips on the brew and Camp coffee by the mugfuls in addition to our usual alcoholic beverages.

On a serious note, we know that tonight's events are going to cause some upsets. With this in mind, the mint imperial bowls on the bar have been filled with Diocalms and we urge all our customers to make use of these. There should be enough to go round as long as nobody starts trying to stockpile. We simply cannot risk the need for plumbers to unblock our loos on Friday morning, as they could have been called out on strike by then.

Landladies on duty tonight will be:

20:00-22:00 Greenish (with Babychams, Cherry B's and vol au vents)
2200-midnight Twattage (with Classic Dmitris and cheeseboard)
Midnight-0200 Singing (with stiff brandies to calm the nerves, plus a selection of fresh nuts)
0200-0400 Hate (possibly with Albanian delicacies and a hangover cure)

We'd like to get the glitter ball turning with this absolute classic:

….fingers crossed similar scenes will abound in the Arms by the end of tonight. Enjoy!

P.s. When ordering drinks between 8pm and 10pm please supply your own drinks emojis. Thankyou!

We've been saved from 1930s Germany!!

How could any one vote for the Labour Party as is.
Df would be turning in his grave.

What. Did. They. Expect.

Remember corbyn being asked '' is this anti semantic statement ''

. '' yes ''.
So why is this guy still in party?

He's being investigated...

What? For over a year???

Forget it. Nasty man. So proud of our country.

SingingLily · 12/12/2019 22:43

@CendrillonSings

You've done a valiant job but now it's time to pop in and enjoy a drink.

A large glass of whatever you fancy is waiting on the bar for you. 🍷

BoswellSolver · 12/12/2019 22:45

Well done though team Brexit Arms 🙌🏼
It's not easy being 'out' as leavers, or conservative, but we have stuck to our guns and the numbers speak for themselves.

I'm a regular name changer, such is the toxicity of the debate but am proud to be here as one of you guys 😆🙌🏼😆🙌🏼😆🙌🏼

DustyDiamond · 12/12/2019 22:45

Just on the other thread reading about how much of a cunt I am etc.
As usual, we will bear the nastiness and just carry on with our plans 🤣

YY

I just had a quick 👀 & the vitriol is in full fettle 🙄

Staying well away from there now...

dirtyrottenscoundrel · 12/12/2019 22:46

Well at least we’ll get brexit done now. Wine

DustyDiamond · 12/12/2019 22:47

Reported some of the nasty shit on other threads.

Fuck em Bellini 🍷
Leave them to their cesspit

Just shows how much people live in a teeny tiny bubble & don't interact with people who are not Just Like Them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Twattage13 · 12/12/2019 22:48

The cheeseboard is out on the bar with a range of hard, soft, blue and goat for your delictation. Sorry been a bit AWOL shaking in a corner in shock at the exit poll!

All snacks are free and also all drinks are free this evening...

And no I'm not going anywhere near the other thread...

Walkingdeadfangirl · 12/12/2019 22:49

So glad to have a safe place to talk about Boris, Brexit etc.
Labour/Momentum are so full of hatred in real life.

It becomes such a relief to see that most of the country agree with us.

Also a regular name changer since ref but decided to stick with this one for last few months when the Arms started back up again

It's been a long fucking slog but we've done it!

Cheers all 🥂

(I'm off to open one of my Brexit Prosecco bottles now 😍)

I've just reported some.

Posts like those are precisely why the country is as divided as it is.

The correct level of tolerance for personal attacks and vile abuse is...none.

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 12/12/2019 23:02

Walking this is the relief I felt on ref night.
I'm not mad, other people do see this too.

I'm so in love with our country. But jitters again now.

Hasn't there been a past massive mistake?? "

Been lurking between both threads for long time now to try and get a balanced view. But unlike the Arms - which welcomes healthy debate and polite conversation from all sides - there have been some vicious comments on the other thread recently. 😳

jesiccawesicca · 12/12/2019 23:04

Have to say I am shocked by the vitriol on certain other threads about these results.
It's almost like being back in 2016.
I don't understand why there needs to be so much name calling when the people have been given a choice and have voted the way they wanted to.

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 12/12/2019 23:04

Fellow armers I expect things will tail off if the exit polls are true.
I'd really love to meet some fellow comrades in rl if anyone was close enough for a brexit arms meet up.

I'll leave that thought on the bar.

Songsofexperience · 12/12/2019 23:05

As I said before, I am a convinced remainer and regular contributor to the other thread as it's referred to here.
What really matters to me tonight is a sense of respect for everyone. We can't expect everyone to be happy with the results - that has to be respected. I just worry most of all about divisions deepening. That's why I try to engage with others who don't share my views. It's going to be really hard work for people who have built up a lot of resentment for the current government.
It takes me personally a huge effort to do that BUT more than anything I don't want a complete communication breakdown between different sides. It's a huge threat I think.
Sorry for waffling (too much 🍷)

SingingLily · 12/12/2019 23:06

for a brexit arms meet up.

We'd have a whale of a time!

Miljea · 12/12/2019 23:06

jessica can I assist in your understanding in telling you my DH has just lost his job as a result of this? HTH.

SingingLily · 12/12/2019 23:07

Songs, not waffly at all - understood and thank you.

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 12/12/2019 23:08

Songs, the current gov though is very different from theresa and very different again from the Cameron and osbourne....

I'm expecting positive things from this line up.
I'm prepared to march if there's a whiff of NHS sell off which I doubt anyway... Or anything else really..

GreenishMe · 12/12/2019 23:08

Oh my god its like the purge out there

Are people being nice(ish)In here

Thistimetomorrow · 12/12/2019 23:08

If the polls are accurate we have reaffirmed our wish to leave the EU. We will have sent a second very clear and positive message. Democracy has triumphed. Leavers, be they Labour, Conservative or remain voters who respect the referendum result have rallied together and put Country before party and I thank you all for that.
The silent majority have spoken again. Like the referendum, never underestimate us.

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 12/12/2019 23:09

Miljea that's awful.
Dh has been made redundant a few times now, each time things were scary but got better...

Unfortunately there is no job for life anymore.

Songsofexperience · 12/12/2019 23:10

Am I the flasher greenish?!

GreenishMe · 12/12/2019 23:10

Hi Rufus.....come in quick and lock the door!
