^ As of a few minutes ago the
United Kingdom has officially left the European Union after 40+ years. Hobbits
like 1st breakfast and then 2nd breakfast and the British like 1st Brexit and
2nd Brexit. The 1st Brexit just happened (everything that was legal a few minutes
ago is still legal for the next 6 months.)
2nd Brexit will happen on
December 31, 2020 when the transition period ends and all laws regarding the EU
will end. The UK now has 6 months to negotiate new treaties with the EU on
everything (the Northern Irish-Irish border, shipping, health care, medicines,
pets, imports/exports, fishing, banking, UK-EU travel including EU citizens'
status within the UK, British citizens' status within the EU, the
Gibraltar-Spanish border, the Chunnel, cell phone roaming charges, policing,
military involvement, food safety, etc.) It took 3 years for the UK to finalize
Brexit and now they have just 6 months before potential chaos.
There are contingency plans
already made for the British Military to be deployed around the UK in December
2020 in case there is any trouble (due to wide-spread fears of food, medicine
and other shortages) and the Queen even has a special Brexit Evacuation Plan
that could see her go to Canada (although since she is Queen of Canada it
wouldn't be seen as the British Queen fleeing the UK, but as the Canadian Queen
visiting her country.) ^
