One of the finest pieces of comedy ever written. Whenever I feel down or bit miserable I find this piece and start laughing. It's quite the equivalent of Soviet communist propaganda in it's delusional "jam tomorrow" optimism.
What an absolute embarrassment. Daniel Hannan should question all his convictions given that his certainty on Brexit demonstrates an complete lack of good judgement.
It’s time you retired Daniel – your opinions are causing immense damage to this country.
What I found particularly interesting was the focus on the cultural impact. Brexit wasn’t just a political event—it’s something that has left its mark on how people see themselves and their country. The divide between regions, generations, and even within communities shows how deep this decision cut.
At the same time, it’s also a reminder of resilience. Despite the hurdles, there are efforts to adapt and find new ways forward, whether it’s in trade deals or redefining Britain’s role internationally. It’s not an easy road, but the conversation about rebuilding and reuniting feels crucial.
This piece is a must-read for anyone curious about how Brexit continues to shape the UK. It’s not just about what was lost but also about what could still be rebuilt.
It is a piece of fantasy. What has actually happened has been disastrous economically and dented morale - perhaps permanently. Britain is now a poor country with a few excessively rich people in it and is short on the residence you mention. And Farage's vacant populism and anti-foreigner schtick is making things worse for social cohesion.
I am very glad I moved to Australia 30 years ago. I am having a celebration dinner next week.

We have almost reached the date of Daniel’s mythical Independence Day and Britain could not be further from the picture described this article.
Well done Daniel for writing this fantastic piece of science fiction!
Oh dear.
This has not aged well.
All Daniel showed in this crazy essay was his delusion and his hatred of rights enjoyed by British and European workers.
This would be funny but unfortunately post Brexit Britain is dead. Thank you Daniel.

Oh dear, I wonder if he has the self awareness to be embarrassed?
Aged like milk..
Aged like milk!
