At last Article 50 has been triggered

Tweet

After 9 months of promises and delaying tactics, we were finally assured that Article 50 would be activated today, starting a possible 2 year period prior to Britain leaving the European Union. I had known so many false promises and non committal statements over the past months that I was beginning to doubt whether this would ever become reality. Today the action was taken and now the wishes of the people have been put into motion. The 2 year negotiation period is not guaranteed to encompass the whole time, but it cannot be extended now that it has begun, so we can feel confident that by 29th March 2019 Britain will once again be in charge of herself. I did find it quite appalling that many politicians stood up in Parliament and protested about this, claiming that it was an unacceptable thing for Theresa May to do. Considering that the referendum resulted in this decision, we should not have politicians stating that the choice of the British people should be ignored.
