As the deadline for Britain to quit the European Union approaches, thousands of people are expressing interest in a Brexit beach party in the Netherlands to say a fond farewell.
By yesterday, nearly 10,000 people had signed up on Facebook to attend the proposed event that would allow people to sit in deck chairs looking out to sea as “Great Britain wakes up as a closed institution” while enjoying “Dutch chips, French wine and German beer.”
Another 63,000 have expressed interest in the Oct. 31 party at Wijk aan Zee, 30 kilometers northwest of Amsterdam.
The plan is the brainchild of documentary maker Ron Toekook, who is amazed by the attention it is garnering and now is in the process of trying to make sure it actually happens.
He got the idea from a vacation in Hawaii, when he saw people head to the beach, drinks in hand, to watch the sun set.
