Johnson says the case for Brexit must continue to be made to bring along those sceptical of leaving the EU

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson says the UK's departure from the EU is a cause for "hope not fear."   In a speech billed as an olive branch to the millions of Briton's who voted to remain part of the European block, Mr Johnson urged people to rally around an outward-looking and confident UK.


It's the first in a series of speeches by British Prime Minister Theresa May and senior ministers on what's being called the road to Brexit. 


Mr Johnson said now was not the time for Brexiteers to gloat, but to explain their arguments to those not on-board with Brexit.
