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."

    Do Brits even practice ritual infant genital mutilation? I thought it was only something Americans and Moslems do.

    I feel your pain. Stay strong.

      Never mind me, I'm a complete retard. Of course you were talking about Moslems. Moslems should go to the USA instead, where the AAP wants American hospitals to open their infant genital mutilation practices to infant females as well as infant males.
