Happy UK Independence Day! 23rd June 2016 was the day - to great shock from everyone - we voted Brexit. Two years on we are still wrangling about various details but the date is set. Worth a read of The Mogg's words "Brexit and Beyond: Britain’s Place in the World in the 2020s" [Brexit Central]. He is one of the very few - even among government Brexiteers - that refuses to be negative. John Redwood is another, here on The Commentator praising the US Ambassador who say we should be more positive: “To see this defeatist attitude towards Brexit is a bit sorrowing to me,”...isn't it embarrassing that we have to be told?
Rees-Mogg ends with "I have always thought that by and large, individuals making decisions for themselves, make better decisions than others can do for them. This applies on the national scale too. The nation state can make better decisions for itself than other nations can impose upon it. I believe it for the United Kingdom and I believe it for other nations around the world. That is the opportunity for the UK in 2020 and beyond. It is to have confidence in ourselves to make the alliances that will lead to success and to ensure that we have the right economic policies in place."And if mistakes are made, they are OUR mistakes.
The UK's European Union (Withdrawal) Bill now only requires Royal Assent, which will be on 26 June 2018...
