🇬🇧 Happy Independence Day patriots 🇬🇧

Its Day 1 outside the #EU so we wanted to remind you of all the things Remainers told you would happen on #Brexit day.

Never in the history of political movements has one side fibbed so spectacularly and (at times) hilariously.

[6] 'CUSTOMS CHAOS', 'Thousands of trucks backing up for miles'...

In reality, the New York Times reports that "a new era began Friday morning without much fuss"

“It does seem pretty calm” Elizabeth De Jong, policy director of trade group Logistics UK https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/01/business/brexit-uk-ports.html
[16] From the Government’s own leaflet in 2016, stating a zero tariff zero quota deal was not possible without paying millions to Brussels and accepting EU rules.

Paging ‘Dave’ and George Osbourne! We just agreed exactly that.
[19] ‘Brexit will ruin the British food and drink sector’

Yum! đŸ„˜

[20] Lunchtimes will never be the same again.

RIP to the BLT after #Brexit
