LEAVING drinks for the UK’s departure from the EU have been organised for Preston Park.
The event is planned for March 29, 2019, exactly two years from the triggering of Article 50 and the scheduled date for the country’s departure.
The party is described as “one last shandy before we leave the EU”.
Event goers are invited to join the gathering from 6.30pm.
A Facebook group advertising the soiree has 251 attendees and a picture of UK PM, Theresa May, smoking a cigarette, eating a bag of chips, and drinking a Special Brew.
The event comes after an estimated 700,000 people marched in the captial demanding a second vote on Brexit.
Organisers called it the “second most attended demonstration this century”, behind the 2003 Iraq War protests.
In the referendum 52 per cent of the UK voted to leave the EU in June 2016.
