The UK Government has officially notified the EU that they are invoking Article 50. This begins the 2-year timer for the UK to leave the EU.
In a statement in the Commons, [Prime Minister Teresa] May said: "Today the government acts on the democratic will of the British people and it acts too on the clear and convincing position of this House."
She added: "The Article 50 process is now under way and in accordance with the wishes of the British people the United Kingdom is leaving the European Union.
"This is an historic moment from which there can be no turning back."

Northern Ireland can't leave. They would never survive on their own.
Of course they could, they would just become part of Ireland. But as the whole situation was explained to me, by a Scot, is that the Scotch-Irish, who were sent to Northern Ireland to control the place, since they would have to rely on the English throne to defend them against the rest of the island, these Scotch-Irish for some reason belonging to the wrong religion, are too dumb to realized that they are being used by the Brits, and to just leave. They could go to Nova Scotia. Or New Orleans. But Scots, sometimes it is impossible to distinguish stupidity from stubbornness.
