Let’s take a phrase from our friends in Britain, who are every bit as angry as millions of Americans.

As they’d say on the other side of the Atlantic: “Let’s not be faffing around with this!”

No, let’s not.

This column — A Brand New Day — is severing all ties with Facebook.

The evidence of betrayal is so strong that, however much fun it’s been to chat back and forth with you on the world’s largest social media platform, it’s time to pull the trigger.

How The Press itself acts in regard to Facebook’s actions must be decided higher up the food chain, but in our little space, it’s over.

We’ll leave A Brand New Day page on Facebook for one week, containing a final message, so readers who might not see this column and want to connect will get the news.

After that …

Nada.

It was bad enough that Facebook, which 44 percent of Americans claim as their No. 1 information source, zigged and zagged during the 2016 election, feeding “news” the company knew was fake to partisan sources — while pocketing millions in ad dollars.

It was worse when Facebook was caught having sold all the user information of 50 million customers to the outright scandalous Cambridge Analytica — an outfit being paid to tilt both the U.S. presidential election and Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.

And now, while we’re still reeling from all of that, here comes news that Facebook has kept millions of phone calls, texts and SMS messages made by unsuspecting users.

These actions are monstrous.

No matter how much enjoyment we get from keeping in touch and joshing with friends, or debating various topics, Facebook can no longer be part of our regular lives.

Mark Zuckerberg’s company, with so much good to offer, has betrayed us all.

TO BE honest, I’ll miss Facebook.

I love connecting with Press readers on social media — we’ll still be on Twitter, by the way — and I’ve had a personal account for quite a while.

Since I’ve lived and worked in different parts of the world, Facebook was a dream vehicle to stay in touch, and for friends all over the globe to communicate back and forth.

It’s been terrific.

But there is a certain moral and ethical line in the sand. It’s different for everyone, and I don’t claim to be the judge of where anyone else’s line should be.

I know mine, though, and Facebook has blown right past it.

At some point, you have to say: “No, you’ve behaved so disgracefully that I refuse to be tainted by the association.”

At that same point, you part company — simply so you can look in the mirror and think that you stand for something.

Facebook has given away the right to our trust.

Call it shocking, startling …

And some of it might be actual theft, I suspect.

Endless court cases over the next few years may prove that Facebook broke some laws along with our trust.

In any case, we’ve seen more than enough.

Adios, Mr. Zuckerberg.
