TORATORATORA, I don't know what you're laughing at, you didn't point out to-day's not the June 23rd so you're not so smart either.

This day isn't the 23rd of June, read what you have written again.

It's the 18th not the 23rd.

It was no mistake to escape from the federal block.

We officially left (in theory) on the 31st January 2020.

23 june 2016 was when the public proved wise enough to vote for leaving.

 

Not a lot right with the OP at all.

Well I've read it very very carefully OK!. It says this (including the heading):

On This Day In History,,,,, 2016

23 june 2016 Britain made the biggest mistake ever, by leaving the European Union. 

No matter how you read it, it's complete cobblers. Apart from today not being the 23rd June (it's the usual convention when highlighting "what happened on this day" to do so on, er....this day) there is also the minor point that the UK did not leave the EU until 31st January 2020.

Starmer having his strings pulled by Bliar no doubt,with his whirlwind visits , today he's seeing Macron  in Paris to plead his case for getting the UK back in the European Union, he's got two hopes, No Hope and Bob Hope !!!!

Hopkirk 10.09 ..... That's only what you think.

No Gully, it's well known that to be insulting the hand needs to be the other way round. In the film The Greatest Hour Winston Churchill made that mistake early on. I suspect it is based on truth.
