Tonight, this is finally happening: after 47 years of market and EU membership, three and a half years after British citizens decided on the Barcasit, the United Kingdom is leaving the EU ranks. That is, almost, not quite yet.

At midnight Central Europe will enter into force the Partial Barcasit Agreement and a transitional period will begin during which EU and UK representatives are expected to conclude negotiations no less complex than have been negotiated on a long list of issues that remain open between the two sides - fisheries issues, for issues that "Security and criminal and future trade and economic relations between the Union and the Kingdom.

In fact, the night came into effect half a "barracks", with no one able to estimate how long the transition period will last until the final separation: Johnson's government is determined to conclude negotiations on all open issues by the end of December 2020. The EU believes that extension will be needed To prevent a situation where disagreement will lead to the explosion of calls and "rigid barracks" which Brussels and London have so far sought to prevent, successfully.

Johnson: "We've reached an excellent barracks agreement"

"Union should ban BDS activity"

"Goodbye, not peace," tonight's headline for "Evening Standard," referenced Stage Barracks, which will continue to accompany Britain in the coming months, and possibly in the years to come. And that, just hours after the Barcasit supporters left with great solemnity and the sound of bagpipes, the European Parliament. With an equally symbolic gesture, Boris Johansson convened our government for a special meeting in the port city of Sunderland, in northeast England, not far from the border with Scotland.

When the Barracks referendum was made, Sunderland was the first settlement in Britain from which final results came in support of leaving the EU. "Today we begin the future of the United Kingdom," Johnson declared, "turning the pillar of the last three and a half years of controversy and pushing the gas forward to unite the nation and give everyone, across the state." Johnson, who promises his people a "dawn of a new age," again promised that his government - "the people's government," will work for the whole of British society. "Don't forget, this is not a government that only works for Whitehall (London's prime center) Westminster (the London House of Commons). It is the government of the people, which works and serves all the people of this great state. "

In a recorded speech to the nation, which aired an hour before the Barracks came into effect, Johnson urged the British to look forward to the future rather than backward. "This is not an end, but a beginning," Johnson declared, "this is a real moment of national renewal and change." As a gift to the British people in honor of the historic day, the British government decided to cut taxes mainly for the disadvantaged and the working class.

Supporters of the Barracit will mark the EU's departure tonight with noisy celebrations, but not necessarily taxis. Nigel Farage - the leader of the Barcasit Party, held its own celebration in London's Parliament Square, announcing dramatically: "We are leaving the sinking EU Titanic on the Barcasit rescue ship and heading for a glorious future."

However, the display of the EU flag burning in the early hours of the British capital does not reflect British sentiments, even among many Europeans. Former PM David Cameron, who initiated the referendum on giving him a backing to stay in the union, said: "I led the campaign to stay in the union, but I always got the outcome of the referendum and knew this day would come." Opposition leader, Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn, urged the British to avoid "self-seclusion" upon leaving Europe.

Scotland will hold another referendum?

One of the big problems, the Barcasit's, is the unity of the United Kingdom. Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who heads the Nationalist Party, announced that despite London's opposition, her government would begin procedural proceedings for a new referendum on independence for Scotland, as Scotland wants to remain in the EU.

The Scottish Government is about to formally ask the Election Commission to examine the legality of the question that will be presented to voters in the planned referendum. Sturgeon declared that, in order to overcome the British government's opposition to the referendum, it would work to formulate a wider front in support of the referendum. "Independent Scotland will be born of the power of our ability to persuade, history teaches us that change often comes quickly after many years when the obstacles seemed big," Sturgeon said in a speech in Edinburgh.

"Small Island," the British Liberal left-wing daily called The Guardian, one of the leaders of the Barcasit fight on its front page, of Britain's new situation after leaving the EU, adding: "It's the biggest bet of a generation." "Our Time Has Come" declared with great optimism the Sun tab over a photograph of the Big Ben - one of Britain's national emblems, which, quite symbolically, will not ring this historic night as it is undergoing renovations. "We Did It" shouted the headline of the Daily Express, which produced a special souvenir sheet on the occasion of the Barracit. The Daily Citar close to Labor chose a humorous headline: "Tonight is a truly historic moment for our great nation - the end of a dry January with no rain."
