SADLY I don’t believe there were any street parties - and Heaven knows it’s been hot enough - to mark the EU (Withdrawal) Bill officially becoming law.
But is is certainly a long overdue cause for celebration and everyone in the country should unite and look forward to the day all the t’s have been crossed and the i’s dotted and we have shaken off the EU shackles.
It should not have taken two years to get to where we are and Theresa May needs to show grit and determination to speed up the march towards freedom. This country has been subjugated for so long by Brussels that we seem to have lost confidence in our ourselves.
So many people were not born when we joined the European Union but they should have no doubt that we are perfectly capable of standing on our own two feet as we were before that ill-judged decision.
The EU Withdrawal Act, as it is now known, means that the 1972 European Communities Act which made the EU supreme over Westminster will be repealed and we can re-establish the supremacy of our own government and parliament - and it won’t be a day too soon.
