My heartiest congrats to my British friends. The UK is the home of liberty. #Brexit🇬🇧

George was a remoaner but this song is perfect. And British.

30 years since the release of George Michael's "Freedom 90"

I have always loved the sound and feel of this song, and the music video has aged well, too.

Meaning of the song: The artist was railing against Sony Music because:
At the tender age of 18 or so, George Michael and Andrew Ridgely formed the group Wham! and signed a 6-album record deal with some random agent at a London coffee shop.

As they freely admitted later, they were young and gullible and should have sought legal advice first.
For the rest of his days, George Michael was bitter about the decision he made aged 18, and it took a toll on his health. The excessive daily drug use did, too.

He was the archetypal leftist; sucked in to an ideology before the brain had a chance to mature.
I was a little over 18 when this song was released in 1990. I too was gullible and made decisions I would later regret. Like being a leftist. But I didn't dwell on it, I turned it into a positive.

#WalkAway #Brexit #MAGA
The reasons that the UK entered the EU were varied and some were probably well intentioned.

The 52-48 vote in 2016 to leave was an unassailable margin of victory and an emphatic rejection of the chains of EU membership.

Incredibly, the Conservatives survived betraying voters.
I'm still absorbing the magnificence of Boris Johnson's landslide victory last month. The time to relax, reflect & celebrate #Brexit has arrived.

Remoaner tears are absolutely delicious.

"All we have to see/ Is that I don't belong to you/ and you don't belong to me" #Freedom
