Another new Brexit thread

[blue for life]

Of course. Should be interesting watching them explain how giving up sovereignty, control of borders, laws and economics will benefit us. Not forgetting, of course, that new members are obliged to give up their currency (and therefore any control of the economy) and join the success that is the €

When you say ‘them’ that includes me in case you got confused there! It was a serious point I was making and got liked by Leavers!

I think everyone is that fed up of Brexit no one will want to hear about it again.

Not now but maybe in decades to come when the current youth replace us

Of course we get to see Sturgeon rehearse this sales pitch

Why would any sane government bin a currency union and leave a single market, with freedom of movement, that would be crazy. :-)

They might not want a new member who wont sign up to the ''closer political integration'' that we signed up to in The Treaty of Rome'' and then spent close on 50 years trying not to get involved in closer political integration.

Plus we've hardly behaved like a partner that can be trusted have we?

Fuck - that has crushed all our hopes and dreams for the future

He is surely just exercising his rights as an individual - what is it that you find wrong with that?

Is he supposed to be held personally responsible for the 'sins of his son?

I find it hilarious. It’s the perfect metaphor for the Johnson‘s and Brexit.

“It’s going to be really great for Britain, now help me pack because I’m buggering off to France.”

Correct

And 40 years won't go by if you don't at least make a start

You forget. We're all so pro-EU that we now need to protect the EU from the UK's trying to rejoin.

Because we respect democracy and your right to argue and campaign to rejoin. Doesn't mean we agree with the sentiment to do so.

Would have been nice had the same courtesy been shpown to us these past few years but that's now ancient history.

She's now got to sell leaving a trade agreement with the EU and enter into negotiations to rejoin which could take years.

Vote for independence, likely lose the Shetland Islands, get a couple of years uncertainty outside the UK and EU unions, then rejoin the EU, adopt the Euro, join the Eurozone, Schengen, the massive debt contributions and EU budget payments. Sign me up.

To join a bigger one, maybe.

And have more of a say in how it is run as the Irish have shown recently :)
