![]() Nigel Farage is planning to host a £100,000 "Brexit Celebration Party" in Parliament Square, with fireworks, bands and comedians, to mark the moment Britain leaves the European Union later this month. The party in Westminster "under the watchful eye" of Churchill's statue on Friday Jan 31 will culminate at 11pm when campaigners and MPs hope Big Ben will 'bong' to mark the moment that the UK brings down the curtain on its 45 year membership of the EU. Richard Tice, the Brexit Party chairman and Mr Farage are applying to the Greater London Assembly - which licenses events on the square - to stage the event which could culminate with a fireworks display similar to New Years Eve. Organised under the cross-party Leave Means Leave banner, between 5,000 and 10,000 members of the public are expected to attend. Each will be charged a small ticket price to cover costs although some donors are expected to help pay for it. Every attendee will receive a special "memento" to mark the day. The plan is to celebrate with bands, singers, speeches by key Brexiteers such as Mr Farage. ![]() Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister, will be invited Mr Farage told The Sunday Telegraph: "Jan 31 is a moment to celebrate, when the Establishment have been beaten by the people. "We will invite people from all parties, business figures - they will be asked to join the celebration. There will be a few short speeches but the won't be very political. "It will be celebratory. There will be music and singing. It will be a good-natured, upbeat, optimistic genuine celebration with no direct political edge whatsoever." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...00-brexiteers/ Are you in London, will you go along for the event? |
