Watching how a lot of our citizens have behaved during Brexit and

they will have to meet to see it through ?
It's not over yet, there is still 5yrs to go before we can lay claim to
our territory again?
There will be an election before then?
Then what??
I hope you are right and Boris does as you believe, and l must say l
was pleasantly surprised at his performance so far !!

We should be weaning ourselves off of our dependency on EU
goods,not looking for ways to continue as before !!
I suspect that instead of using the opportunity to consolidate the
gains made by this "deal",we will squander them away and we will
continue to, much as before,with the ridiculous hordes of trucks
streaming across the channel every day and night, instead of seeking
out alternative suppliers etc?
Brexit was supposed to be the springboard for real change in UK,
but l fear that we will , in the next 5 years just slowly slide back to
the same old, same old again!!

Excellent speech by Kate Hooey. I was so pleased to hear her praise Nigel Farage. We all owe him a great debt.
Here's to 11pm tonight, I hope everyone, Leavers and Remainers, will raise a glass to the future prosperity for the United Kingdom. It's been a hard won fight and there are still many who are against this country succeeding with Brexit, but I'll just say ''To hell with you! You lost! now take your four and a half years constant whining, whinging opposition elsewhere and watch as this great country succeeds.'' CHEERS !

There will AS ALWAYS be highs and lows in times ahead, but that has been the case throughout history.
Myself I firmly believe that we are on the cusp of a new era which will see us prosper in areas unimaginable when constrained by others.
The whole world is seeing huge change.
We are ideally situated to benefit hugely from new opportunities provided by the challenges and changes ahead.

They're starting a campaign to rejoin the monstrous edifice - hopefully, it should go the same way as the Anna Sourby `Change UK` movement.
I don't remember ever hearing Kate Hooey being so eloquent as in that speech. Good for her.
We have a bottle of Kentish fizz in the fridge for later.

Why do they choose to have dual nationality? If they don't need it I doubt that any Brexiteer will object to them becoming full Australian citizens.... especially when so many have been so rude about the country they chose to have a passport from.

I am just trying to understand the reason for the original post. Surely you were not suggesting that those with dual nationality should have been able to vote in the British Referendum?
