There was little in the press about this, but Brexit finally happened.

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu.
With little fanfare, Britain left the European Union on Friday after 47 years of membership, taking a leap into the unknown in a historic blow to the bloc.
The U.K.’s departure became official at 11 p.m. (2300GMT), midnight in Brussels, where the EU is headquartered. Thousands of enthusiastic Brexit supporters gathered outside Britain’s Parliament to welcome the moment they’d longed for since Britain’s 52%-48% vote in June 2016 to walk away from the club it had joined in 1973. The flag-waving crowd erupted in cheers as Big Ben bonged 11 times — on a recording. Parliament’s real bell has been silenced for repairs.
In a message from nearby 10 Downing St., Prime Minister Boris Johnson called Britain’s departure “a moment of real national renewal and change.”
The whole Brexit fiasco revealed what a fraud democracy is. The people voted to leave the European Union and the entire British political establishment across multiple parties did everything they could to prevent Brexit from happening.
We are now seeing quite clearly that there is a less likely chance that the will of the people will be implemented in democracies than so-called authoritarian governments. The only exception is when the people have been conned into supporting Jewish agendas by the Jewish media.
