Its VE Day!!! After years of bashing the EU and being pro-Brexit and voting Tory at the last GE ( only to have his new Tory MP announce he won't contest the seat next time ) my Dad has just admitted to me on the phone that he was wrong and that there was strength in being an EU member state plus trade advantages and that he was lied to by the Leave campaign. If you knew my Dad you'd realise how big that penny was that just dropped.
My dad did the same about the Tories. Not quite got there on Brexit yet.
There will be plenty joining him. It will become a tsunami in the next couple of years. Question is, will enough people be prepared to give up the pound? That’s the only realistic basis for our re-entry. My guess is ‘no’, which I think would be a grave mistake.Its VE Day!!!

I think there's bigger barriers than that.There will be plenty joining him. It will become a tsunami in the next couple of years. Question is, will enough people be prepared to give up the pound?

But many of the more rabid barriers will lose their seats at the next general election.I think there's bigger barriers than that.
Fair play to your dad.Its VE Day!!!

He should just count himself lucky that his son has turned out to be such a great bloke.You can only hope - TBH I had given up many moons ago so the whole conversation felt like I was a priest taking a confessional
Externally, maybe.I think there's bigger barriers than that.
