The Brexit Arms: Are We Nearly There Yet? 🇬🇧🚗↩️🇪🇺

[SingingLily]

No, not yet, but soon. Just 24 more sleeps until we legally leave the EU at 11pm on 31 January and finally enter the transition period after what seems like centuries of argument, dither and delay. We do so with hope, optimism and a determination to be a good friend and neighbour to the EU, but for now, no one said it better than Winston Churchill.

“This is not the end, this is not even the beginning of the end, this is just perhaps the end of the beginning.”

The Pub Rule is the same as it always was: all welcome but only if you leave goadery outside. The first drink is on the house.

Blimey,
Bongs for Brexit has raised £245,000.
Thousands of people giving £10 or £5.
Even if it ends up going to Help the Heroes it shows how many people are interested.
Perhaps Boris will go in on a zip wire and wallop it.

Yolo comes on here in the spirit of friendship and is attacked by some goady fuckers

Just calling people goady fuckers doesn't make them so. pp are entitled to post, if some others are upset by it they've no need to be.

I have certainly not 'attacked' Yolofish, only pointed out to them that i didn't need their advice on posting - nothing wrong with that and I wouldn't take offence if it had been the other way round.

I don't think the 'other' thread has eaten itself, but it's very deep into renewable energy at the moment (which I make no claim to understand) and as there seems to be very little going on in politics at the moment it's kind of in a bit of a hole.

I dont actually like the silence that we seem to be getting from our dear leaders about what is happening; but I am managing to distract myself with the Haz 'n Megz situation and lots of . In the spirit of the dear departed (not in that way!) Duchess of Sussex, it's great to know you all care and I hope you all are ok too.

🍷 to Yolo, Songs, 🐻, Bellini, Rufus, Frumpety & others who rub along with all the other regulars & don't seek to shit stir

Amazing! I’m mire than ready for Boris to zip up and Biggity Bong it, but Help the Heroes would be a lovely alternative 😉.

With his head? No sense, no feeling and all that!

Shame it's all going to be in London isn't it? All those new Tory voters from the Up North being left out. Not going to look good if all the celebration is 'London-centric' - we know how much Boris and Dominic can't stand 'London-centric' stuff

I'm baffled Mistigri I don't understand the regulars code-speak

In fairness it probably helps to do a middle school class in emojis and memes.

I agree that it's odd to celebrate Brexit in the bit of the U.K. that doesn't want it. Why not a crowd-funder for a town crier in Telford or a sandwich board man in Sunderland?

Back for a little while, folks, and thank you for your good wishes. You know - fellow Armers - that you have mine in returns.

I see you've already heard about the light show in Downing Street, the countdown clock, the Union flags that will be flying in Parliament Square and Boris's plans to give a rousing speech. Looking forward to it. All of it. Bring it on!

And if it induces the nineteenth nervous breakdown in some diehard Remainers, well the events of yesterday and today mean I no longer care.

Lunnon innit? centre of the universe etc, focal point for our great nation's celebrations etc etc.

Dont think Edinburgh or Glasgow would welcome a celebration!

🙌🙌🙌

*Boris’s rousing speech”.

Oh Lordy, is that really the best we can look forward to? Lots of stammering and a bit of Rule Britannia?

Your meme work is fantastic, Dusty - thank you.

Just 14 days and 2 minutes to go...

You're welcome Lily 😘

Steve Bray looks so lonely...bless.

TBF, if someone offered Bray enough money, a cosy flat and some strong lager, he would probs do the bongs through his megaphone for us.

I do love the flag.

Too upfront for some obviously, but I can't help that, it's just my style

Ohh nooo, Epic. Someone needs to kidnap the megaphone. Strictly in the public interest, you understand.

I never understood why he never lost his voice. In the same way that I used to wonder why rioting prisoners could skip about on the roof in rooftop protests and never fall off. In my idler moments, of course.

Here's a topical possibility for a trade deal...

Love that cartoon!

And Hi Michael! 👋
