Brexiteers celebrate leaving the EU

Parliament Square, London. Fri 31 Jan 2020



 I met some Brexiteers on Parliament St

 and there were rather more in Parliament Square

 

 'We Are Free' says one poster - but clearly we are not, just coming back to rule by the same elites and

 unfortunately less free than when we were part of Europe. We don't know how Brexit will pan out, but it seems

 likely that we will have to accept GM food, chlorinated chicken, more deaths from salmonella, higher prices for

 medicines, our heath service being even more quickly privatised and much more.

 But of course we will be free to wave Union Flags - as we have been for the past 47 years

 People stand on an EU flag

 

 Churchill was one of those who set up Europe

 Some of the odder fringe stood apart in the middle of the square

 Some had come up from Wales to join in the celebrations. Though I think Wales has more to lose.

 

 

 

 One of the few who stands to make money out of Brexit
