A WHOPPING 1,627 days have passed since the UK voted to leave the European Union.
We’ve wasted far too many hours of our precious lives debating what – let’s never forget – was the biggest democratic mandate in the history of our country.
The vast majority of the 17,410,742 honest folk who ticked the out box on Thursday, June 23 2016 did not care about the ins and outs of any trade deal with the EU.
They were voting for taking back our sovereignty – freedom forever, if you like.
It’s astonishing to think that, 53 months on, some remoaners are STILL suggesting we should extend the transition period.
That means only one thing: They will NEVER accept the legitimacy of this vote. In fact, they will NEVER accept that we have ALREADY left the EU.
The game is up.
Even Keir Starmer, the flip flopping Labour leader, who was desperate to take the country to a divisive second referendum, has acknowledged that.
So now it’s more critical than ever that Boris Johnson stares the EU in the face and says: Stop with your pathetic games because we’re not budging.
As David Davis – the former Brexit Secretary – wrote in this morning’s Sun, the EU “has behaved unreasonably from the beginning”.
They’re trying to stitch us up with the same sort of deal they did with the Swiss and they want the right to punish us with tariffs in perpetuity.
Of course, I concede a deal would be preferable for both the UK and the EU – but it has to be a fair deal that does not leave our great independent nation under the thumb of Brussels.
Theresa May may not have meant it, but she was completely right when she said: “No deal is better than a bad deal.” Now might just be the time to prove it.
