With only 99 days to go till the Brexit deal is supposed to be done, can the country's divisions ever be reconciled?
Exactly 13 years ago, on 20th December 2005, there was a heated debate over the UK
...
's involvement in the European Union between then UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and then UKIP leader Nigel Farage.
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair was being challenged by Mr Farage over the amount of money the United Kingdom pays into the European Union.
"Why should British taxpayers pay for new sewers in Budapest, a new underground system in Warsaw, when our own public services are crumbling in London?" Farage claimed.
Tony Blair replied by saying, ""This is the year 2005, not 1945. We are not fighting each other any more."
