When it's all over, we get a good deal and are out then i'll happily raise a glass with everyone, look forwards and admit my original view was misguided!

In honesty I voted to remain but I wouldn't class myself as a remoaner, firstly because I accepted the result as it came and secondly before voting agreed with a lot of the points of Brexit anyway, that's democracy!
I just wasn't and still am very skeptical about the way this government will go about this and while confidence is good when negotiating in any walk of life, there is a fine line between this and a deluded arrogance which is my worry. I also don't believe that just because the remain camp lost it suddenly means we need to pretend things can't go wrong and that anything they now say is wrong, for this to be done properly you need someone challenging the negotiations to ensure they are pressured in to getting us the best deal possible.
We can only hope that David Davis doesn't call David Sullivan for negotiation advice or we're all doomed!

I will be stealing some drinks from a vending machine at the local hospital as Boris Johnson and Michael Gove promised me that the NHS will soon be getting an additional £350 million a week.

Defo Lewisham.
I don't trust any politicians and I'm certain that triggering A50 is just the start. As we get closer and closer to actually leaving remainers will be doing all they can to delay, muddy and scupper it.
If there is to be a final vote on the exit deal in the commons then any deal not involving staying in the single market effectively staying in the EU will be rejected by half the house and so it continues.
Corbyn has already stated yesterday that any deal must keep all the benefits of EU membership so how is that goung to work as it is not actually possible to leave but keep all the benefits as we know. The EU will say and do all they can to make leaving as unattractive as possible and remoaners on all sides will be all over it.
A general election if called before any exit will be like a 2nd referendum. This is still far from over even after tomorrow when A50 is triggered.

*clinks nurse's glass early*
That's not a euphemism (unless you want me to give you one).
We should look forward, not backwards and show the world how great we can be without being xenophobic, bigoted or extremist.
Its time to prove the new political classes in the west wrong and its extremely important.
Chin chin!!

The fact that we have reached this early stage (assuming A50 is triggered tomorrow/by the end of March) is still a beautiful miracle.
A year ago I never thought we would be where we are. I had written you all off as cowards. Sorry. Only some of you are. ;-)
Anyway, triggering A50 is the second of the three hurdles. While you're right to be cautious (there are massive bastards and corporations lined up to thwart Brexit at any possible point) I can't see the harm in celebrating each milestone along the way. Some of us have been waiting a very long time for this.

Agree, I was going to say I don't get this celebration/independence day nonsense, sounds too much like Nigel Farage talking and i'm not one to find excuses to not get pissed!
It's like celebrating a big money transfer as a done deal when it's only at a stage of the clubs beginning to talk and the other club has publicly said they do not want to sell, or our fans celebrating an FA Cup win at Cardiff in the 80th minute! basically celebrating success of something that hasn't even happened or that they have no idea what sort of deal we get out of this.
As much as everyone wants this to work, think it's a bit early to be popping champagne corks. Also taking off the UKIP/Union Jack tinted specs there is still a possibility this could all go horrendously wrong.
I wont raise a glass till it's over and we know whats going to happen!

Why the fuck does every journey HAVE to have an ending? LIFE has an ending. It's called DEATH. No more after that. The JOURNEY is ALL. Enjoy.

Rls, you're risking a charge of hubris toasting the beginning of a journey which does not have a destination and is more a setting out than arriving exercise. Dare I suggest that in two or more years time instead of a drink you might be eating......and it could be humble pie.

Orson Welles - probably the finest piece of improvisation in the history of cinema?
"Holly, I'd like to cut you in, old man. There's nobody left in Vienna I can really trust, and we've always done everything together. When you make up your mind, send me a message - I'll meet you any place, any time, and when we do meet old man, it's you I want to see, not the police. Remember that, won't ya? Don't be so gloomy.
After all it's not that awful. You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly."
