We know what it is, Solly.
It's far less rule-taking than the EU ever asked of us: they don't want unlimited migration for example or their own army for a start.
We are British and it affects us.

Are scared because you're aware of the potential benefits this will bring the UK?
Or is it because today is the day the EU ratifies Brexit and you'll be sad to see that happen?
