Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !

The inevitability of rulings like this is one of the reasons I voted Leave. Anyone who still doesn't understand that the EU is on a one-way ticket to statehood in its own right is being wilfully blind.

Now we're leaving, of course, I am content for the EU to organise itself in any way that gives maximum advantage to us as a third party. If any other member states decide they don't like the EU's direction of travel, they are welcome to follow us out the door.

I think I've just reached my Brexit boredom threshold ! There are so many bigger issues that deserve our attention but we're obsessed with this, which is going to drag on for years and leave us worse off and more divided at the end of it. What will it be after Brexit? the Whitehall faceless bureaucrats' turn for vitriol again ? Brits love a good moan (me included )

That's the reaction i would have expected as oppose to Brexiters being pleased.

The decision may help the EU exit process by reducing delay's. As (I assume) you are someone who believes in democracy, and therefore respects the outcome of the referendum, why aren't you pleased about the decision?

I've not expressed my opinion on this decision though I'm pleased that it simplifies matters. I was just amused by people liking a decision that they would not like if applied to the UK.

Or your boat.

Brexit negotiations set to start on 19 June
The EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, has pencilled in 19 June for the first formal day of talks with Britain about its withdrawal from the European Union, in what are being billed as the most important negotiations in the country’s history.
That highly symbolic morning, Barnier will face whoever is the British Brexit secretary after the election for the first day of an arduous 15 months of negotiations to hammer out the terms of the UK’s exit.

If we Brexiteers can bring a little bit of extra amusement into your life, then that's great; take it as a freely given, unforeseen, Brexit bonus

Wow, we've had 2 whole days without yet another pro-EU anti-Brexit scare story.

[deadite66]

surely saving their strength for a big push.

Here you go, hate to disappoint

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has falsely claimed the pre-referendum pledge to inject the NHS with £350m a week after Brexit is in the Conservative manifesto.

And this was after sneaking a look at Preston's questions before the interview, what a naughty mugglewump...

Do you ever get tired of rehashing old crap ?

The £350 Million suggestion, was just that and it was not prerequisite in which leave got my vote.

I had made my decision years ago, because we do not need to be part of a corrupt system. Now we are leaving, this country now has a chance to do things it wants without peddling pissants who are running that pile of garbage telling us what we can and cannot do.

It's Boris that's rehashing old crap, save your strop for him Mick. It's incredible he's had the cheek to lie about it again.

He did not lie-end of discussion.

I will save my strop for you and always you, when you consistently mock democracy.
