My UK Independence Day Facebook Posts

Below are two Facebook posts I made four years ago. I had joined UKIP and contributed to the Leave campaign. I had spent almost every waking hour of the last weeks before the #BREXIT vote in tweeting and posting 'get out the vote' memes, facts regarding the EU and the referendum, etc.

Four years ago yesterday, at about 03.30, I posted this:

Well, I'm off to bed in a few. The polls will be approaching closing time by the time I get up! Here's hoping and praying that Britain makes the right choice and tells the EU to go stuff itself! St George, St Andrew, St Patrick, and St David pray for your people! Cry--God for Elizabeth, Britain, and Freedom! God Bless Britain and God save the Queen!!!!

Then, on the afternoon of 24 June 2016, four years ago today, I posted:

Rather than posting hither and yon on friends' and groups' pages, let me make one post here. WE WON! I had been up all night, posting #BREXIT links on Facebook. I walked up to the pub, shortly before the polling closed. About half an hour later I checked on my Kindle and saw the 'results'. I was gutted!!!

A friend bought me a whiskey to help me 'drown my sorrows'. I came home, told the fellow I care for what had happened, and fell asleep in my chair, but not before starting to create a 'tombstone meme' showing the date of Britain's death.

A few minutes ago, Tim rudely awakened me. As I began to give him a piece of my mind, he said, 'I woke you up to tell you YOU WON'!!!

I had planned a post pointing out how upset I was at the loss, to explain to my non-British friends, who've had no idea what I was obsessing about the last weeks, but instead, I'm over the moon!!!

As the polls opened, I posted. 'St George, St Andrew, St Patrick and St David, pray for your people. Cry--God for Elizabeth, Britain and Freedom!' For those who don't believe, I say nah, nah, nah!!! LOL!

I am so happy, I have tears in my eyes! God Bless Britain, and God save the Queen! HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, BRITAIN!!!
