EC President Ursula von der Leyen says Brexit will be "new beginnings for old friends".

That's diplomatic parlance for 'get lost we have had enough of you'.

A sentiment it is not difficult to agree with.

Don't worry, Brexit will surely be a sellout and you will get your homogeneous globalist technocratic paradise run by the likes of the not at all robotic Ursula Von Der Leyen

Nobody would have gone to war with anyone because two world wars genetically removed too many of the men capable enough of fighting in one. Have a look at the state of most of the "men" around you now. If any of them look remotely like men, they are probably not western European.

Don't forget we've got a blue passport now, so that makes it alright. Even though the British firm that made the old one lost the contract to a European one !
Good old brexit , the gift that keeps on giving &#128580;

Fascinating to see where Boris has been today. Proving that politics is sometimes as much about where you say things as what.

They will, although they, and even the brexiteers, would struggle to understand what the first three words mean!You"d think mall?

I am so so excited at the moment. The dream Brexit really could be happening. Free trade ports, corporation tax lower than even Irelands, 100% control of our fishing waters, all kinds of enterprise initiatives, a wonderful new start.

This is what it was ALWAYS about. I still don't trust Johnson not to betray us but fingers crossed. Because this could be happening...absolutely smashing news.

By June we will be feasting on fresh British fish, great lamb and steaks from South America along with inward investment flowing.

Finally a chance to reestablish ourselves as a truly global trading nation. Let the EU do what it needs to do and good luck to it in dealing with Poland and Hungary, both nations whom I hope we offer all kinds of direct support to in their own struggles with Brussels.

The Poland/Hungary impasse has been resolved and the EU's citizens will be in receipt of the massive covid restoration fund, safe-guarding their jobs and living standards.

Far from the ridiculous fantasy world you portray, British citizens are in for an extremely tough time.

LOL. All good until Germany decides to turn off the tap, again. Just enough money will flow until the Germans and the Dutch feel they are back on an even keel and then off it goes again. To keep on exporting cheaply they need the likes of Greece and Italy to remain piss-poor.

The UK might be in for a dodgy few months but after the year we have had? Nah. Storm in a teacup.

We are rocketing! Let the roaring 20's begin!

I want choices. I want the best from all around the world. We import huge amounts of beef from the EU as things stand. They will change once we can open up our borders to other nations. Ditto with all kinds of other agricultural produce.

And yes, English lamb and steak should be pushed and pushed. No issues around that. But we can get the best of what the world has to offer as well.

Indeed Kev, matov scored an own goal in that post , favouring South American meat above great british stuff? He clearly isn"t as patriotic as he was trying to portray!

Oddly enough I don't really consider myself to be that 'patriotic' in terms of all the flag-waving jingoism stuff. And have zero issues around enjoying all kinds of foreign goods. But for me that is the point of being English. We are a trading nation. Led the way in importing all kinds of different foods, hence why we can happily enjoy an April 23rd celebration of German lager followed by an Indian curry.

Simply put I want choice on our supermarket shevels. And South American steaks are fantastic. World famous. Ditto with New Zealand lamb. Of course England produces top quality produce as well but Brexit is not about us closing down our markets but rather opening them up for a wider choice.

Have you had south american beef then?
I thought leaving was to give us a choice. It's not up to me to support a supplier out of patriotism.
I would fight for the country on the beaches but until that is needed I will eat whatever and from wherever I choose. Re my second line.
