Farewell, Disunited Kingdom

31st January 2020 · This thing called life · 0 Comments

January 31st. The Union Jack flag is removed from the European Parliament in Brussels. Disappointed Remainers wave goodbye to the European Union, while Brexiteers cheerfully chant words of freedom, sovereignty and independence. I find this political carol somewhat paradoxical, coming from the country that has ruled and administered over 60 territories throughout the course of history. Anyhow, enjoy your newfound freedom – and see you soon, Scotland. Expat Gone Foreign, Brexit, culture comics, Europe, United Kingdom, Disunited, Freedom
