Brexit bill: Lords pass landmark legislation on leaving EU [Can start as early as Tuesday]
BBC ^ | 3/13/17

The House of Lords has passed the Brexit bill, paving the way for the government to trigger Article 50 so the UK can leave the EU.

The prime minister could theoretically invoke Article 50, which formally starts the Brexit process, as early as Tuesday.

Scotland wants to re-join the EU, just as it is falling apart.

Stupidity and bad habits die hard.

The EU was Germany winning WWII by other means with the help of the go-along-to-get-along French. It's long past time to finally, once and for all, for Britain to really, truly win the war and reclaim their sovereignty.

Scotland has sure fallen since their desire of independence from the British Crown in medieval times.

No idea about the rest of the country as I’m working nights, but it is good news to my ears. :)
Now Scotland will go ahead with another divorce referendum.
What interesting times we live in.
