...as they will be leaving the EU soon. Even if they later leave the UK they'll still not be in the EU.

[Neveracrossword]

They'll still be in Europe, won't they?

[ToraToraTora]

Geographically, not the EUSSR.

[Neveracrossword]

Yes.

[Peter Pedant]

foo dat odd dat

odder still - Savid javid - has just returned from holiday

yeah but under the noo rules of immigration and Freedom- who let HIM back in ? did he perhaps arrive by rubber dinghy?

( joke dat - just in case s/o thinks I am serious)

[Old_Geezer]

Maybe they could consider celebrating their links to the rest of the world, while they're at it, unless they don't value those ?

[Peter Pedant]

o hi OG - have a good new year
sozza - noo year .....

[Neveracrossword]

OG, maybe that's the theme for next year, though 'the rest of the world' is a shade large, a shade vague.

[ichkeria]

That made me laugh Peter!

They are desperately trying to convince people the world consists of just Europe.

Convince enough people the world is very small and the biggest part of it is the EU and they then forget or don’t fully understand the extent of the world they live on.

Meanwhile in London UKIP is seeing in the Brexit New Year with a celebration of all the countries of the world. I’m searching for the link
...

[Old_Geezer]

Are they ?
Treating all nations as friendly trading partners, or potential ones, surely one need not celebrate any single group but take friendship as a given; expressing UKIP love for all.

[ichkeria]

It’s Scotland saying we may be leaving the EU but this part of the UK at least wants to show our affection for things European.
That is perfectly understandable I think to most people (including Tora I suspect)

[douglas9401]

So many 'theys'. We'll be a 'brigade' soon enough.

Tora and co will still have their pint of warm extra bitter though.
Possibly with a twist.
