12 Hours To Go And We Are OUT Of The EU.

Clock is counting down.

11.00 pm today and The U.K. leaves The EU. I am counting down the hours.

Happy Brexit day.

Congrats. Better late than never.

Congratulations on your newfound liberty. Have a blessed Brexit.

I get the feeling they're going to try to screw you guys on trade and...well, pretty much everything.
They have to make an example on what happens if you dare leave The Hive.

All we can do is hope for the best............ Remember 1991 and the disintiegration of the USSR? We just got to pray that our economies don't collapse in a similar manner. Just a six minute stop in production at our biggest car plant Nissan in Sunderland = a loss for the company, things are that tight. I just pray the container ships keep moving and the trucks don't get delayed or else we gonna see economic catastrophe similar to what happened to the USSR

The hell?

If GB is out of the EU is it not very normal that each country/nation looks out for their own. Like Trump said :"“trade wars are good, and easy to win”.

Peace

Don't worry too much about that for now: nothing will change at all for the time being. When the bell chimes 11 o clock Westminster time - nothing changes yet. The UK is then entering a 11 month long period in which pretty much everything will .. er.. remain as it was before, whilst UK and EU boffins will try to negotiate a deal.

You will probably see Boris and the leave crew cheer. Similar to a guy that get's an erection when hanged.

Farewell Brothers and Sisters. I hope that we -from the other side of the North Sea-, The Netherlands will join you soon in your regained freedom from an autocratic anti-democratic organisation: the EU.

As a person living under the regime of the EU myself, I understand fully why you are leaving.

Like Mr Farrage said: it is fine to work closely together, it is not fine to have a superstate that is taking away more and more power and liberty from its members, without any democratic accountability.

I plead here again for a Netherlands Exit!

#NEXIT!

Wilders or Baudet?

Not a snowballs chance in hell they'll ever get anything going.

We have the economic clout to hit back hard in a trade war.
The UK not so much.

UK only has 244,820 square kilometers of land. The US economy is obviously the number one and biggest sole national economy worldwide that reaches more than US $14 trillion of GDP while the UK is only placed at 6th place with over US $2 trillion.

I hope everything turns out well and the EU treats the UK fairly.....but I'm not betting on it. If the UK does well after leaving, that will encourage other countries to question why they are letting others make their decisions for them.

11 months is kind of optimistic to hammer out a trade deal where normally this would take 5 to 6 years...or so I heard.

Peace

I hope everything turns out well in the end

but should it not, don't blame us, the common people in the EU.....
we only live here. We vote, but our votes don't matter...

Good luck UK

What will change for you?

a reply to: KindraLaBelle

Belgium huh...yeah just like the Netherlands we a too small to matter. It was always a kind of Germany/France deal with the brits in between.

The open borders are good for our trade so I'm happy with it.

Peace

Yay ..

And now let's see if the Scots, Northern-Irish, Welsh and English will follow your line of thinking and will go independent too. And after that, perhaps the Great City of London will make itself independent from England. And so on and so on, until even Llanwrtyd decides that it will be a sovereign city. Heck, of course, eventually Fordwich will declare its independence!

But lo! Then there will no doubt be the sudden realisation that each individual citizen could be seen as a sovereign nation too - and of course you'd suggest they all go indenpendent too. And then, of course, the legs will be screaming for independence - rightfully pointing out how they are burdened by the rest of the body, especially by the head...

In other words: what defines a nation? If it is a similar language, then Ireland and the Island nations are far better off joining the United States, as 51st, 52nd, 53rd, 54th, 55th and 56th state. Sure, no doubt haggling with Westminster will follow if the Scots, the Welsh, the Northern-Irish or the English would be the 51st state or the 52nd... if the Irish would not claim that honour, given tge huge amount of Irish that already live in the US.

Thank Guin.. eh.. Goodness at least the Irish kept their sanity and did not fall for the little prank that Cameron played on the United Kingdom. And there still is some hope for the Scots too. Let's see where this will go.

But seriously: if it is culture, habits, ways of life, trade, sound Laws, proper Courts - then the nations should never have left the EU. We all know it. Even the Americans that post here would in overwhelming majority vote to make all of their states independent nations with hard borders, that had to negotiate trade..

Yes, indeed, see what happened. All hairdressers and barbers in the world are now in utter despair.

USA might be number 1 spot for economy, and the UK is 6th, but the UK is certainly not the 6th largest country, or anywhere near that number. We're fighting far above our weight on that score. and that's why we'll succeed!

Come on, you can’t be serious... Learn some history.

The Netherland, Belgium and Luxemburg started the BeNeLux. To work together as relatively small countries. This grew in to a coal & steal union and after that bigger and bigger to what is now the EU.

The Dutch and the Belgians actually were the original founders of the project that became the EU.
