Brexit finally got done at 23:00 GMT on 31st December 2020 when the UK's Withdrawal Agreement with the EU finally expired. A "trade deal" between the UK and EU was agreed on 24th December. The Alt-Wrong finally got their prize of freedom, democracy and British sovereignty.
What did they actually win? Chaos at the ports, thousands of tonnes of fish that can't be sold, tariffs, duties, and all sorts of things which were once Project Fear and the undemocratic, treasonous lies of the Liberal Metropolitan Elite, Socialists, Marxists, quislings, traitors, lefties and people who hate their country. Socialism, Marxism, EUSSR, Venezuela, toilet paper!
We are on the third week of this glorious new future of sunlit uplands with no downsides, only upsides with much more to look forward to. And Donald Trump is going to give us a fantastic trade deal with the USA straight away.
Over at the Guardian, Polly Toynbee has an excellent summary entitled Brexiters are waking up to the damage they've done.
As Brexiters turn on each other, Brexit politics move fast. Until now the Tories planned to move on, only reviving “Brexit done” triumphalism to re-arouse the captured red wall at the election: Labour just wanted to bury the whole issue.
The Westminster system has failed us (the UK). We are now looking at Irish Reunification and Scottish Independence. Gibraltar has already got its own deal where it gets to join Schengen.
We have Taken Back Control(TM).

Just this morning, one of the grandchildren wouldn't eat breakfast. Had to lecture the little tyke about children going hungry in Merry Olde England. Waste not, want not. Of course, he asked why England was so merry if they were starving to death, and I had to explain Brexit. That led to a reading of Aladdin and the Forty Thieves, where I explained to the child that he should always stay away from thieves. If you don't pal around with the thieves, they won't try to rob you when you leave. And, THAT led to more questions about Robbing Hood and Riding Hood and the birds and the bees . . .
Anyway, let us know if you guys get hungry. I'll make a batch of biscuits and gravy, freeze it, and ship it express mail.

Just make sure you fill in the papers the way HMRC bureaucrats want [mirror.co.uk], otherwise the batch will be returned and charged to the sender.
