With a song with Scottish and lots of nostalgia, the European Parliament is separate from the UK

Lawmakers passed the law anchoring the Barracks, which launched Friday after three years of long negotiations. "We will always love you, live in Europe."

With a song with Scottish and lots of nostalgia, the European Parliament is separate from the UK

Britain's separation from the European Union passed yesterday (Wednesday) in the European Parliament, following a vote on the departure agreement from the bloc in which it had been a member for some half a century. The Barracks went live at 11pm on Friday, after three years of tense negotiations between London and Brussels.

Lawmakers voted by a majority of 621 votes against 49 opponents to pass the retirement agreement, under which Britain would continue to be subject to union laws for a period of about a year. After the vote, members of the European Parliament broke into the song of the Scottish people "Past Times".

During the transitional period, Boris Johnson's government will try to formulate a trade agreement with the remaining 27 countries in the bloc.

"Only in the agony of departure are we looking at the depth of love," said European Commission President Ursula von Der Lane, quoting British author George Elliott. "We will always love you and we will never be far away. Long live in Europe."
