If you want to heal the country then you don't celebrate something that half of it doesn't want and a good number of them are resolutely opposed to. I cannot see even this government being that stupid. It will be a test of Johnson's attitude and a marker for the rest of his premiership. Declaring the 3ist Jan as a Bank Holiday would be the most offensive and divisive thing possible. Have your celebratory drinks by all means. Do it quietly in the comfort of your own homes and with your friends please. It won't happen in our local pub that's for sure. The landlady wants people to remain friends and discourages political discussion of all kind. On 1st Feb nothing really changes. The argument for common sense and reason remains and will continue to be made. It's just become a marathon and not a sprint with a few hills to clime on the way. Wow just wow. I seem to remember plenty of people going on marches for "The peoples vote" and they were happy to call it a celebration as well as a political demonstration. You're like Hodges the ARP warden will you be creeping around on Jan 31? "Put that bloody light out" As I alluded to earlier many people in this country are happy to celebrate diversity well you don't get more diverse than Brexit and I will celebrate as I see fit as long as it's within the law.

Mark Francois seems a thoroughly unpleasant man whose views never failed to rile me in the recent past. No charm, no tact but a huge opinion of himself. I would oppose his suggestion on the grounds that anything he wants must be wrong. My own feeling is that there will be many more flags flying at half mast on Jan 31st than Church bells ringing out. I get no sense of celebration anywhere but in the minds of people like Francois, and in places like this. Don't do yourself down so, Wissie

People will be celebrating the fact that despite the losers in the referendum doing their best to hold the country to ransom for three years the first hurdle in achieving what the majority of the country wanted has been passed If you actually check the election result I think you will see that the majority of the country actually voted for parties that opposed this government. As has been said many times when a referendum has been called on a flawed basis by a government scared of losing it's majority then the Parliament has a duty to try to correct things. It was not Parliament who "held the country to ransom" at all. It was a minority Tory administration trying to thwart their will, aided and abetted by a disintegrating opposition party. A disaster all round. No-one in their right mind celebrates disasters.

48% is not half! As more than half voted against the Tories in December that works both ways. In round terms we have an almost equally divided nation for which the ONLY resolution is compromise. Those in favour of the EU have been trying to find ways to satisfy those who aren't for decades, with opt outs and rebates. A soft Brexit would have done the trick now. Declaring victory and wanting to celebrate is not helping anyone. Including yourselves.

Maybe she is also fed up with your constant drivel I don't discuss politics in the open in the pub. There is a time and place for everything. Quietly with my friends who take the same stance as me sometimes. The landlady is a Brexiteer and we have had several good private conversations which have always ended up with her saying "you've got good points, but I won't change my mind". Which seems to be the typical response I get from most Brexiteers I have personal chats with.

What individuals do is up to them. There have always been those who behave like idiots. Just look at any city centre on a Friday and Saturday night. That there might be a surfeit of them at the end of this month is no more than I would have expected. My comments were addressed to what the government will do and whether they will encourage such behaviour or understand how the "other half" feel and try to dampen down inappropriate responses knowing that ultimately it will work against them.

Congratulations. You are the most boring and deluded poster ever. Not needed. There are many who are seriously deluded posting here. I am a lonely outpost of common sense by comparison. Indeed anyone who continues to believe that Brexit is a good idea has to fall into that category. When all the evidence shows we would be much richer and safer staying within the EU and our future outside is based on wishes and hopes, that has to be an almost textbook definition of delusion. Maybe in a few years you will look back and say "he was right you know".

And to be fair, we mocked them for being the utter f***ing morons they were and still are to this day. I am rather flat about January 31st if I am honest. I don't trust Johnson to truly deliver the sort of clean break Brexit I want and whilst our departure at the end of the month is something to cheer on, the reality is that this country is still divided in a way that threatens our basic understanding of what the UK is. I genuinely struggle on a variety of levels to comprehend how so many people, who will happily proclaim themselves as substantially brighter than almost every Leave voter, could be so monumentally stupid with their stance on trying to make the British public vote again on the Brexit issue and essentially handing a moron like Johnson a majority to do what he wants. Remoaners truly are political retards because all the basic facts pointed to this happening and yet still they proclaim themselves as being 'right'. Stupidity on a level that is difficult to get your head around. If those idiots could have stopped Brexit from happening then we would have had to put up with them rubbing our faces in it for months and I refuse to stoop to their level. We won on June 23rd 2016 and the fact that is has taken us until January 31st 2019 for that to be made reality is truly shameful. History will not judge these Remain Retards very well. I expect to experience a grim satisfaction come January 31st but beyond that...nah. This battle is won but the war is not over by a long way. These Progressive b******s have not gone away. And have shown that they have zero respect for democracy. They might look like w***ers individually but collectively they represent a truly authoritarian risk to us all.

You really haven't got a clue!
