Leaving the EU 2020


So we have left the EU but nothing has happened which will in practice affect our life and I doubt that we will notice any changes on January 1st 2021 when the transition ends
But them most of us do not do business with EU and if we do then the odd click on the laptop will deal with any extra customs procedure or if travelling having to show an App on our mobiles that we are entitled to enter a EU27 country. For business with AI it may well be done without any human actions at all once set up
And we will never know if our economy would have been better if the vote had gone the other way 
For most, if not all, of us the result on 12th  December 2019 has more implications as for the first time in a decade we have a Government able to govern
And if we don’t like what they do over the next 5 years we can vote them out in 2024
If there is any cheer to be had this weekend it will , for me anyway, seeing England beat France!
Brexit will no longer be with us from breakfast to supper and those of us who have followed the politics will have to find something else to do! Don’t say follow the Labour election battle as that is very uninteresting> you have the main contenders trying to be more Corbyn than Corbyn but without his CV and telling the Members that is the way to a victory in 2024!
Labour will only start to become interesting again when, and if, they start to face reality and try to devise policies which can compete with the policies of Boris!
I suppose that I will remember two very exciting political evenings both with high drama> Brexit result 23rd June 2016 when I was devastated that we were leaving and 10 pm 12th December when I was overjoyed that Boris would get Brexit done with his landslide
In between I have been on a journey as a democrat to supporting leaving EU and the journey from not thinking much of Boris to being a supporter 
Quite honestly I now consider that under Boris this Country will be a great place for my middle aged Children[3] and my Grandchildren [8] to thrive and achieve their aspirations
As for myself and my wife in our late 70’s I do not expect to see another Labour Government , nor high inflation. 3 day working week and the Winter of Discontent or anything similar happen
And I do accept climate change and see great opportunities for technology to solve those issues and that I will not have to stop eating beef because they fart too much!
A new positive future is in our grasps and it is up for everyone  to reach out and enjoy the benefits, both those who have and those who do not 

Amazing, 12 months ago I would not have been a Boris supporter !!!!
