A thank you to Brexiteers.

A few good lines in here, including "Since Brexit, Britain’s Conservative leaders have worked tirelessly to prove that EU membership was very far from the problem.”

EU media and leaders blame Brexit for UK political ‘insanity’ as Truss quits

Observers suggest PM’s failure could spell end of ‘wishful thinking’ of a sovereign UK going its own way

i dont particularly see it as daft, more an interesting phenomenon that brexit will rumble on and on for years to come yet

Events though!

Molly's is the Irish pub, was The Letrim Inn. The Rising Sun is long gone, as is The Woodman that was a little further down the road. The Cavalier on Russell Lane survives and has taken on the few regulars from when The York closed last year.

The best pub for miles around was Toolans on North Finchley High Road for decades, but it's gone rapidly down hill since Nancy Toolan sold it a few years back. The Bohemia was next best and is probably Finchley's finest now. I heartily reccomend their 'Wings Wednesday'.

Thanks for the tip about The Bohemia - just been looking at their menu - a fine selection of beers! It's within walking distance from me too

Looks like a bigger turnout than I would have expected, and it's getting international coverage - while they are of course correct about the failure of Brexit, I'm not sure it that's good an idea to be holding anti-Brexit marches at the moment, especially with one of its chief architects seeking a return to power. The short-term chances of reversing the policy seem to be zero and if Johnson does lead the Tories into the next election, it could be a lifeline in 'Red Wall' seats if he can say 'Kier Starmer wants to help these people take your Brexit away, only I can stop him.'

If you weren't enjoying your freedom of movement on the terrace of your Portuguese home, you could've gone along to have a look for yourself.

it rude to mention the champion of Brexit on the boards whilst he remarks from his Portuguese home


we've yet to confirm if he returned to vote for Brexit whilst applying for a passport in his country of residence


would not bring it up if it was not for 6 years of bring up the brexit vote btw

Not sure how much you can tell from one cropped photo, tbf. I'd be surprised if it was that few. But at least that guy from the Bee Gee's is there. It'd be a tragedy if otherwise

It's the fact it's cropped that makes me suspicious

Some great quotes from the anti-democratic protestors

Thousands of London protesters call for UK to rejoin EU

Please spare thoughts and prayers for Tony

Tony Harold, 44, from Poole, who works in the share market, said that Brexit affected him as he has a property in Spain.

He said: “We’ve seen the damage and it’s all been downhill ever since it started.

“Personally, I have a second home in Spain, and I’ve been impacted directly.”

I don't march in the streets. Never have. Not my bag.

I was visiting my newly born premature niece anyway.

A 4 in the morning point: if you believe in (direct) democracy there's no subject area that doesn't warrant continuous approval and reappraisal from the people. Ive no agenda about Brexit but there's a principle here about extending democracy always. Just because one vote goes one way doesn't mean its set in stone for all time. ( Though there are some things that are big enough that it's ridiculous to keep revoting on within a short time frame).

My idiot brexit-voting next door neighbour says he wants to move to Portugal now, I think because it’s the easiest or only place in the EU for getting a residence visa as a Brit, if you’ve got money obvs. If he actually goes that might count as a brexit benefit not sure though.

You thought my brothers baby was born a month premature before I said so? That was remarkably prescient of you, but then Brexiters are gifted like that I suppose.

I thought he had a yoga retreat place in France? What happened to your shopkeeper with a second home in Spain?

Yes neighbour does have a house in France but he can’t be there more than 90 days in a year now can he. Very sad.
I have to try hard to keep a straight face when he moans about this after he voted for it the big idiot.

Liverpool bookshop man is trying to sell his mobile home in spain , no longer has any hope of moving there to retire / die.
