Boris Says UK Has Crossed the ‘Brexit Finish Line’, Parliamentarians Pass Bill

[Kyle]

The government’s bill implementing the withdrawal deal has passed through both Houses of Parliament, meaning the UK will finally be leaving the EU on January 31st, 2020.

On Wednesday evening, MPs in the House of Commons rejected the amendments to the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill proposed by the House of Lords.

The upper house could have continued to push for their amendments to be passed, but agreed to end the “ping-pong” phase of passing the legislation, given the Conservatives’ 87-seat working majority would result in the amendments being defeated at every vote.

In a brief comment after the bill passed, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “Parliament has passed the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, meaning we will leave the EU on 31 January and move forwards as one United Kingdom.

“At times it felt like we would never cross the Brexit finish line, but we’ve done it.

I'll believe it when I see it. I thought the EU rejected all of the UK's proposal. They can leave (and should) but they risk having a hard row to hoe with the rest of the EU.

Daddy Trump is on Boris' side, so we'll lend them any hands they need. I'd rather help GB put a nail in that Socialist coffin than cough up for some third world shithole that will never amount to anything.

The actual separation will not happen until Dec 31 of this year. What happens next week is that the U.K. loses all voting power in E.U. matters.

The next 11 months, the U.K. will still have to pay dues and abide by E.U. rules.

How many trade deals does the U.K. have in place to take up the void?

What is the point of the question? Should a country (whose citizens voted to leave a larger union) not have the right to be sovereign?

I do love how all the lefties/"stayers" assume that every bump or bruise associated with Brexit was completely unanticipated by those who voted to leave.

They knew ripping the bandaid off would hurt. They by and large felt that the end results would be worth it.

Continually pointing at every expected outcome and shouting "see! we told you!" to someone who was already aware doesn't make them value your position any more than they did before.

Like when my wife tells me I need to take the trash out today, despite the fact that I already know it, never miss a day, and have an alarm set on my phone to remind me. It doesn't make her the hero of trash day.

Not sure if that old man rant made complete sense. But hopefully the the tone was correctly conveyed.

To me that is the crux of the problem with the EU.
A country should have sovereignty and not have some other country telling them what to do.;

South Carolina thought the same thing. At least GB is doing it without bloodshed.
