I Love United Kingdom

Congratulations to British people on your Independence Day! God Bless you for your choice, and may this be a joyous day!

Irregardless of whether you celebrate it on June 23 or January 31.

I know it was hard - but it must be very fulfilling and awe inspiring to know you stand on your own two feet - responsible for yourself, able and capable of making your own sovereign choices.

Yes - you can collaborate and cooperate with others - as we all should, but Thank God you no longer delegate your decision making to unelected bureaucrats outside of your country. Example - I always thought that having Brussels impose what your lunch menu offered at your school district levels was the perfect anomaly to rebel against.

We in the US have British and French philosophers as the intellectual progenitors of our own independence and constitution, and it's wonderful to see you regain your own patrimony.

Don't worry - Europe will get over it. They need you as much as you need them. What's more - the longer term economic benefits outweigh any short-term pain. It's hard, I know - but you made your choice... twice in elections since 2016.

Congratulations!

To the Red, White and Blue.

Pfft... "Independence day". Pathetic that these English nationalists got so low as to borrow from the Americans the notion of being "independent", it's like they can't even think for themselves anymore and have to look for America to tell them what's right and what's wrong. "[i]Oh, poor me! I'm so OPPRESSED by the EU!! Booo-hooo!![/i]" Truly idiotic. I was once proud of my English heritage, not anymore.

Thanks God I still have my Scottish heritage to feel proud off.

@SW-User You're pooh-poohing the idea, but in fact the British have separated themselves from being ruled by the EU. That's true independence. It has value on just that alone.

@SW-User Aren't the Scots trying to do the same thing? 🤔
SW-User
@Quizzical Oh yeah...well put! The desire to be sovereign is universal.
A lot of Brits will be looking at that “irregardless” and shaking their heads...🤦🏽‍♀️
@SW-User Yes, there are definitely dialects. But irregardless is illogical, because “regardless” is the actual word. It would mean the same thing, after all.

@bijouxbroussard Ok, well, thanks.

@bijouxbroussard I found it quite amusing seeing the "Proud to be British", anti-EU patriots, flying the Union Flag - upside down. 🤣😆🤣😆

I love England though and I live in the USA, and can’t work in the UK with my European Passport anymore right? I lived near London a few months and I like having options!

@Carazaa I don't know the details of that - but I'm sure if the politicians on both sides quit obstructing, it won't be too hard to fix.

These Brexiteers really make me proud to be British 😂

@SW-User we’ll have to agree to disagree.
