Not so fast, there will be no rebate, no opt-outs, no exceptionalism and there needs to be a large majority of both parties agreeing to it. Remember each of the eu countries have a veto right.
@Bramfly If the old path no longer exists because it was torn away and is urgently needed, then you have to quickly build a new narrow path! In the EU case, an agreement with all obligations and rights but without participation in the EU internal market would be the quickest LITTLE WAY! EU politicians are not interested in Tory, Labor, Farage and Co for the time being! Macron has already proposed such a framework. You would have the best chance of a yes among all EU countries! Go to the EU and talk to them about what something like that might look like. This would give Wales, Scotland and Co the opportunity to join the EU pretty quickly. If something like that were to happen, the old parties would tear it up!
@@Bramfly Bramfly, not so fast 😎 A UK wide referendum and a qualified majority vote in favor of rejoining, say at least 60 % of all registered voters is also called for. The EU is not just another pub where you walk in and walk out of as you dawn well please.
The most surprising thing was to see British people living for years in other EU countries voting for Brexit, without thinking that they were going to be harmed. It is mind-boggling. I remember many of them without even speaking the language of the EU country they live in, defending the Brexit like crazy. 😮
If you do a search on TH-cam you will find footage of a remain campaign march through London. You will see two women being asked "What's the best thing the EU has given the UK"?. One woman couldn't answer it and just looked vacant and the 2nd woman said "The best thing the EU has given the UK is the NHS".. 🤣🤣🤣 Regarding Brits living in an EU country and never speaking the language of that country ,I agree with you and it's not acceptable. But to imply that Brits are too thick to make the decision all I would say is the vast majority of Eastern Europeans living in the UK live in enclaves of their own countrymen/women. They don't integrate any more than than Brits do abroad.If Brexit was the wrong decision can you tell me why the EU's perecentage of world trade has fallen year on year for well over a decade and How is the Germany economy doing?.
@@22tinka "can you tell me why the EU's perecentage of world trade has fallen year on year for well over a decade". The thing is most of the EU ecnomy is what you call developed. And developed economies simply grow slower than developing economies even as the world economy as whole grows. As a result the relative part of the EU has grown less. It should be noted that the same applies to the US. And even China seems to be hitting the limits of accellerated economic growth. And if you think that the UK is going to be able to do better on its own, I think you will be sorely disapointed. Between the economic giants of the US, China and possibly in the future India, the EU has a chance to go toe to toe. The UK will just get squashed.
The UK had special privileges in the EU, it had control over its borders over its currency and did not have to adopt the Euro. This time around, if the UK wants to rejoin, it will not have the same conditions.
Firstly teh UK didn't have control over it's borders, Freedom of movement meant that from 2004 onwards an average of 225,000 people came from the EU each and every year when we were told around 26,000 would come. Secondly plenty of countries joined the EU on the basis that they would adopt the Euro but never have, Poland is one example. Thirdly the UK will never join the EU again. Please get your facts right before posting, otherwise it just makes you look dumb.

It is only because you’ve been conditioned to believe the European Union is our only market in the world, Africa is going to be an amazing place in the years to come, Nigeria alone has 133 million people, we don’t trade enough with South America or Central America and then there is the Far East, us British people are blinkered and we are selling our goods into a heavily regulated region called the European Union with stagnant growth and, without migration its falling population would lead to an even smaller market . do you research, many international European companies mainly make their profits from outside of the European Union , we have to give leaving the European Union 10 to 15 maybe 20 years and we could be substantially better by trading with the rest of the world 🌎

The eu is nothing like the USa the eu all have different languages, different education levels, different money etc. this forced the race to the bottom. I have lived in the uk now 8 years saw eu and saw brexit. To me brexit is the best thing for the uk. It will take time to get trade deals etc but the uk seems to be getting better and better each day the eu worse.

My youngest daughter studied in Paris for a year thanks to the Erasmus Programme, but my grandchildren are denied that opportunity. So many small businesses are struggling or closing down because of formerly non-existent red tape. Above all, there's the disaster that the NHS is becoming despite the false promises of enormous investment.
@marijo1951 Before the EU horizon programme the UK had the most extensive world network of university exchange programmes...my cousin studied in the states before the EU existed, never mind the Horizon programme. France also had a similarly extensive network. Neither the UK or France were keen to give up their own programme for Horizon, but we did. It is now possible to study all over the world using the UKs Turing scheme, which is less costly, offers more placement capacity, and the financial arrangements are much better geared for lower income students. Your grandchild has just as much opportunity, it's just a different scheme. Edit: I said Horizon...I was having a 'moment'...I meant Erasmus.
boohoohoo. Try speaking to the BRITISH people who's wages went down 70% because of the floods of cheap Polish and similar labour.If they love Paris so much... move to France and stop telling the overwhelming majority how to run Britain. You remoaners lost... get over it.... or move to Europe!
@@shelleyphilcox4743jeez, this is dumb. Anyone can do mega expensive paid foreign exchange if they satisfy entry requirements, all universities have it; but the EU gave free movement. Right of residence, no visa, no foreign status, all the access of EU membership. Just like going to Oxbridge, or York, but you have the EU member universities to choose from! You are disingenuous in your reply because you have to be. What Brexit voters did to their own young people amounts to an act of war. It is unconscionable and unforgivable.
As an American it seems to me that Brexit is very similar to the Trump "America First" isolationist idea. In a world with instant communications and interdependent economies, it is much better to unify rather than isolate. Just makes more sense.
You understand the EU is a protectionist entity and that Brexit is intended to put us back on the world stage without the isolationist and protectionist policies of the EU
Shady money,tax havens,lower employment and environmental standards,higher food prices,lower inward investment,longer airport lines,travel stay limits,no mobility to with in the EU.Whats not to like if you have your sovereignty or at least someone in the Caymans has it for you...Britain has voted to have poor medical services,less democracy and foreign ownership of vital industries.
Brexit was a massive success - for the hedge fund managers who bet against sterling, for the inadequate and incompetent British politicians who had a grudge against their (mostly) better educated and more competent EU counterparts, ancd for Putin whose money appaears to have financed some of the Leave campaign.

Brexit was a massive success for the millions of workers who saw their wages stagnate/fall due to mass immigration. Bank of England's own report post Brexit stated that membership of the EU had suppressed the wages of the low skilled and skilled workers. The fishing communities up and down the country were sold out by the Consocialist government when they signed the fishing deal. If they had actually fought for the coastal communities then the fishing industry would have grown hugely over the coming years. The problem with the pro EU remnants is they are very selfish and don't look at the bigger picture. The EU is a portectionish racket, it's share of teh worlds economy has fallen year on year for well over a decade. Why be a small fish in a small pond?. The EU is insular and has a "little Europe" mentality which will ultimately see it's demise.
I recently received a letter from my UK bank that due to Brexit, UK banks are no longer allowed to offer services in the EU. So I have to withdraw my money and they will close my account. It seems noone is talking about this effect - how much money have already and will leave the UK banks due to Brexit.

Britain MUST rejoin the EU and do it quickly. Start by electing capable, intelligent people who are able to guide the country into a better future. Delays at ports for people and trade are not good, free movement are a hallmark of EU policy, just rejoin and get on with all of your EU neighbours. The whole migration and crime situations MUST be stopped and this can only be done through EU unity. Admit this first, BREXIT HAS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE A DISASTER FOR UK. There is really no argument against it at all.

One of the chaps interviewed early on in this piece, nailed the problem with Brexit. He said that it was not what people thought it was. He said it was designed to do something completely different-to hide the money that goes to the city of London in financial instruments and real estate. The dirty money comes from the Middle East and from Russia. Russian oligarchs own all manner of high-end properties in London. He also mentioned the islands, which are those overseas financial haven’s owned by Britain, are tax havens and dirty money laundries. Continued membership in the EU would have opened these practices to scrutiny. That could not be allowed by the British ruling class.

I feel so sorry for the people that never wanted to leave and yes I'd love to see the UK join again. However as I listen to the reasons to rejoin they are always about the negatives for British people and never about how the UK can help by being part of a club of countries that work together to build a better future for all EU members. That is logical I suppose but I want to see a UK that is eager to join and be a part of something bigger not a UK that is in it purely for themselves. Good luck with the campaign.
It must be considered though, that every Brexiteer turned up to vote, whereas many remainers complacently refrained from turning out. Those people need to shoulder a lot of the blame.

As in life when a relationship ends it’s better to move on. I have lived in the UK for 2 years well before brexit and never felt that people call themselves europeans. Go to France Germany, Italy or any other country and they identify as europeans. And yes we don’t like EU politicians, there much to be desired on how EU works but there is a sense of identity and belonging. In my opinion UK should not join the EU at the moment. We all know you will join just to get the benefits you had ( which you are not going to get this time) and bitch later about everything. Instead focus on what UK could do to improve the EU.
UK reminds me of a cat. Going around in the house meowing and screaming it want so go out, let me out, let me out, you're so cruel, why don't I get to go out? You tell it it might be a bit chilly out there, that it will have food, toys, our love and company and comfort inside, but it's sure it will be much better on it's own, on the outside. "Let me out!!!" So you open the door and expect it to go, but then it just stands there in the door post, for ages and ages, saying it will go out, but not just yet. Time passes. Eventually it will go out, and you then close the door. Through a window you see it stare at you, offended that you closed the door. "How could you do that to me, I just realized I don't have my food here, and why did you make it rain, why am I treated like an outsider all of a sudden". It struts around a bit, but soon realize it was nicer inside and now you have it by the window screaming it wants to go inside again.

Brexit has been a disaster. The UK public were fed a pack of lies. It's time to rejoin the EU, but I don't think the EU will be as eager to welcome the UK back (and certainly not with all the concessions it enjoyed before).
While I fervently believe that we should never have left, I am also fully aware that "Re-join" is not an option. Rejoin implies that we get readmitted under the same terms and conditions that we originally joined under and that is not an option. In order to *JOIN* we would need to meet the Copenhagen Criteria. In order to meet those criteria Britain would need to demonstrate a commitment to democratic governance and human rights, something that the FPTP electoral system and attempts to distance ourselves from the ECHR show a remarkable divergence from. Before long Britain might also fall foul of the requirement to have a functioning market economy, but that may just be a symptom of my personal cynicism. Then there is the requirement to commit to entering the €uro as well as commitment to free movement, meaning that not only can Brits travel to EU member states but citizens of EU countries can also freely enter the UK. Considering Charles DeGaulle was able to so accurately describe the shenanigans of Fartage and Widdlecombe half a century in his future I doubt that Britain can convince many EU member states that we can be trusted to fulfil any future promises.
I must say I am impressed. Finally I find a commenter from UK that knows how to join the EU in 2024 and that is not a veryy easy process anymore. There is also the adherence to political , economic and monetary unionm in the Copenhagen Criteria. And nowadays also being able to present a writen codified constitution.

The UK's relationship with the EU has been a trainwreck from day one. They acted like a spoiled brat who wanted to be part of the cool kids' club but couldn't stand following the rules once they got in. The government begged to join when they realized they were missing out on the economic party, but they never fully committed to the "European project." Once in, they constantly whined, demanded special treatment, and acted like they were too good for the rest of Europe. They wanted all the benefits without any of the responsibilities. UK politicians used the EU as a convenient scapegoat for decades, blaming Brussels for their own failures and feeding the public a steady diet of bullshit about straight bananas and other nonsense. Meanwhile, the British public evidentally couldn't be arsed to actually learn how the EU worked, preferring to believe words on a red bus trundling around the country. They swallowed tabloid lies and politician's bullshit hook, line, and sinker. When things got tough, instead of working to reform the EU from within (where they had significant influence), the government helped by Farage threw a massive tantrum and decided to take their ball and go home. The Brexit campaign was a shitshow of lies fueled by xenophobia and delusions of grandeur, led by opportunists who never thought they'd actually win. Now the UK is out, the press media is still bitching about the EU, acting shocked that actions have consequences, and trying to blame everyone but themselves for the mess they've created. It's like watching a never-ending episode of a really bad reality TV show.
I think the British people need to accept that Brexit is permanent and here to stay. When the UK left, it gave up all the special exemptions and rebates it had negotiated over the years. Even if Brussels was of a mind to try it again, Britain will never get back those exemptions. It would need to join as any other country and agree to Schengen, the euro, full labour mobility etc. I can't imagine a situation where the British public could swallow that. Britain shot itself in the foot and will have to live with the long-term consequences. A pimple on the ass of Europe.
It's not just London you need to appeal to. Pretty much the whole of the UK has been shafted by Brexit. 4 years on, we should be starting to see these 'benefits' of Brexit, but I see none. Best of luck to you going forward.
from ireland, we wish you all well on the long (long!) journey back. Hope ye manage it... but 2 points. 1. it wont be the same UK that will (eventually) rejoin. ie. there will be a unified Ireland by then and g-d knows what the Scots will do and 2. EU nations will be v v circumspect about the uk rejoining, ie def. prepare for being in the eurozone and giving up all the perks, the uk got.
I sell worldwide and ship worldwide but now the EU have to pay 15-25 percent import duty they have gone elsewhere. How can I replace this lost market, as stated I already ship worldwide. If my profits are down 15-25 percent that is 15-25 percent less I have to spend within the UK -.and so my loss has a knock on affect.
Before Brexit I was a frequent buyer of UK products, and it was even more cost effective and smoother than buying from France or Germany or Spain. But after Brexit it is very complicated. Sometimes packages are destroyed in customs because they don't meet EU regulations, sometimes packages are returned to the origin because of some bureaucratic error, and when some packages do manage to arrive, I have to pay a lot of extra money for customs duties and bureaucracy, which can double or triple the original cost. The only things I am now buying sporadically in the UK are small things and even then I have to pay extra costs to have them shipped through Ireland. In the end it is not worth it to me to buy in UK.
Firstly there is no import duty to the EU for British made goods. That's a fact. So clearly what you are doing is importing goods or parts of goods built elsewhere, probably China. Secondly the devaluation of sterling has been big enough to absorb that import rate anyway. I work for a company that makes a product in Britain; we have no issues exporting to the EU, there are no import duties and due to the devaluation of sterling our product became cheaper for people in the EU and therefore our sales increased.
Brexit is a mess and always was going to fail..It’s time we was allowed to talk about this and it seen to be talked about on mainstream T.V..If Brexit was covered on mainstream,Brexit would crumble fast..Hence is the reason it’s not covered by the mainstream..But it’s only a matter of time until Brexit is covered..
The only question is, does EU want England back? Could you count on England not having an other urge of megalomania and again in 10 years time? Personally I’m sad to see the UK now standing outside EU.
Thecuk always had a superior and condescending attitude towards other Europeans claiiming that god woildnt have made the english channel if great Britain were to be part of Europe
I was and always will be a Remainer but caution those calling for rejoining that it’s a generational project and won’t happen soon. There are multiple reasons both on the UK side and from the EU side.
I am European/French. The problem with Brexit is that British people were sold a lie. Mainly, that the UK would be fixed in terms of immigration, and become a sort of Hong Kong 2.0, and get its glory back. In fact, the UK economy depends heavily on EU import and export, and leaving destroyed your opportunities, leaving you isolated and backward. Not a single European country in 2024 can just be outside the EU and exist on its own and prosper. Only Switzerland achieved this but its a unique small population country with a very special banking industry and culture. As to the immigrants, BREXIT got rid of the skilled and culturally similar European immigrants, but kept all the wrong ones in (illegal third world migrants). Thus BREXIT gave you the worst of everything. Unfortunately I don't think joining the EU is going to happen anytime soon, especially since the EU will make it pricy for the UK to do so.
Well, I think there is one pragmatic way. Hold your laughs... Bribe your way in. I think if the UK would offer one trillion euros in hard cash this would be a far more feasible way than the diplomatic route. This would show a legitimate commitment.
@@BartSliggers Well, it would be more likely that the EU would demand the UK adopt the Euro. This will never happen because those in the City, who financed Brexit, would be right back into the same situation with outside oversight. Either way, never going to happen.
@@ardakolimsky7107 it might be possible for the UK to apply to join in about 20 years if we start the work now and endure many hardships and don't get distracted. That's a hard sell isn't it?
@@Purple_flower09 20 years? Sure. Anything is possible. Who would have thought in 2004 that the UK would be outside the EU? However, the driving force behind our exit was a small cabal of elites who will not allow us to return - and there is no way the UK can be convinced to adopt the euro. This would be a prerequisite. Not to mention the rest of Europe have had enough of the blatant lies in our media. Bendy bananas mate...that shit sticks.
Without being mean, I don't think any European wants to see the English back in Europe, it's better off without you blocking kings...sorry and good luck !
The people who voted for Brexit got what they voted for , i.e. the UK has left the ETU. What they did not get was all the things that were promised to them by those pushing for Brexit.
Britain had an enormously privileged position in the EU … bespoke status unlike any other country of the block. Leaving was always going to end in failure and self harm for the country. An Irresponsible and self serving generation of politicians got us there
lets be clear you've been the most painful and destructive force in the EU since Tatcher so nobody in Europe is in a rush to welcome you back ....... and nowhere near the term and condition you use to enjoy .....
Rejoining seems obviously a good idea and something inevitable in th long run, but I think you should avoid being like the Brexiteers who uncovered the cost for Brexit and be honest about the cost that re-joining the EU will mean, among other things the loss of the British Pound in favour of the Euro.
If the UK is so powerful in its opinion, maybe the EU should join the UK? Would that be a solution? After Brexit, the UK will probably no longer join the EU, so let the EU join the UK? The same stupid idea as the UK leaving the European Union.
Asking Londoners is stupid. They never wanted to leave the EU. This is the city that partied during Covid. They have been on the wrong sides of everything for the past 400 years.

Just an info point for every brexiteer : If the Uk rejoins the EU again, all the benefits and special treatment you had before won’t be back. That means, you’ll need to get the euro, join the schenghen area and give the amount of money eveybody else gives(before you had an spécial arrangement)

Scotland and Wales can join first
Not so fast, there will be no rebate, no opt-outs, no exceptionalism and there needs to be a large majority of both parties agreeing to it. Remember each of the eu countries have a veto right.
@@BramflyWhen you say both parties, do you mean Labour and Liberal-Democrats? The Tories will be history.
@Bramfly If the old path no longer exists because it was torn away and is urgently needed, then you have to quickly build a new narrow path! In the EU case, an agreement with all obligations and rights but without participation in the EU internal market would be the quickest LITTLE WAY!
EU politicians are not interested in Tory, Labor, Farage and Co for the time being! Macron has already proposed such a framework. You would have the best chance of a yes among all EU countries! Go to the EU and talk to them about what something like that might look like.
This would give Wales, Scotland and Co the opportunity to join the EU pretty quickly. If something like that were to happen, the old parties would tear it up!
@@Bramfly
Bramfly, not so fast 😎 A UK wide referendum and a qualified majority vote in favor of rejoining, say at least 60 % of all registered voters is also called for. The EU is not just another pub where you walk in and walk out of as you dawn well please.
The most surprising thing was to see British people living for years in other EU countries voting for Brexit, without thinking that they were going to be harmed. It is mind-boggling. I remember many of them without even speaking the language of the EU country they live in, defending the Brexit like crazy. 😮

Regarding Brits living in an EU country and never speaking the language of that country ,I agree with you and it's not acceptable. But to imply that Brits are too thick to make the decision all I would say is the vast majority of Eastern Europeans living in the UK live in enclaves of their own countrymen/women.

@@22tinka "can you tell me why the EU's perecentage of world trade has fallen year on year for well over a decade". The thing is most of the EU ecnomy is what you call developed. And developed economies simply grow slower than developing economies even as the world economy as whole grows. As a result the relative part of the EU has grown less. It should be noted that the same applies to the US. And even China seems to be hitting the limits of accellerated economic growth. And if you think that the UK is going to be able to do better on its own, I think you will be sorely disapointed. Between the economic giants of the US, China and possibly in the future India, the EU has a chance to go toe to toe. The UK will just get squashed.
You seem to have a bunch of far right governments in the EU, how are you dealing with that?
@@mikethebloodthirstyHow has the Conservative government been "Far Right"?. Give some examples of their "Far Right" Policies.
The UK had special privileges in the EU, it had control over its borders over its currency and did not have to adopt the Euro. This time around, if the UK wants to rejoin, it will not have the same conditions.
a better reason to stay out. there are quite a lot of British colonial islands who want to stay out.
Firstly teh UK didn't have control over it's borders, Freedom of movement meant that from 2004 onwards an average of 225,000 people came from the EU each and every year when we were told around 26,000 would come. Secondly plenty of countries joined the EU on the basis that they would adopt the Euro but never have, Poland is one example. Thirdly the UK will never join the EU again.

Brexit was a massive success for the millions of workers who saw their wages stagnate/fall due to mass immigration. Bank of England's own report post Brexit stated that membership of the EU had suppressed the wages of the low skilled and skilled workers. The fishing communities up and down the country were sold out by the Consocialist government when they signed the fishing deal. If they had actually fought for the coastal communities then the fishing industry would have grown hugely over the coming years.

The dirty money comes from the Middle East and from Russia. Russian oligarchs own all manner of high-end properties in London. He also mentioned the islands, which are those overseas financial haven’s owned by Britain, are tax havens and dirty money laundries.

You tell it it might be a bit chilly out there, that it will have food, toys, our love and company and comfort inside, but it's sure it will be much better on it's own, on the outside. "Let me out!!!"
So you open the door and expect it to go, but then it just stands there in the door post, for ages and ages, saying it will go out, but not just yet. Time passes. Eventually it will go out, and you then close the door. Through a window you see it stare at you, offended that you closed the door. "How could you do that to me, I just realized I don't have my food here, and why did you make it rain, why am I treated like an outsider all of a sudden". It struts around a bit, but soon realize it was nicer inside and now you have it by the window screaming it wants to go inside again.

James O'Brien asks Brexiters "name ONE thing that is better since Brexit" and noone can ever respond with an example!
The pride at getting out of the EU has really expedited the fall of the UK. I know for sure that those in the establishment, that pushed to get out , are not suffering a jot.
When an employer outright confesses that the worst oart of Brexit for them has been not being abled to employ cheap foreign workers and without a second’s hesitation continue to be an arrogant arsehole, is it really that hard to see why Brexit even happened?!
The question is why.
Is it about money? Business? Trading? Freedom of movement? Influence in the world?
If this is what you want. If this is what your Party is about. Please don't join again. Stay where you are.
If it is about heritage, neighborhood, culture, peace, and most important values to share. Than please come back.
we dont need to join the EU for that, it was heritage, neighbourly attitudes and culture that were and still are being eroded. as we try and get our country back.
@@c.c.8841 So we all are fine. I don't say you should come back and no one in the EU needs the UK or Argentina or any other 3t part country. Get happy on your island. I personal wish you all the best. Bon voyage, mon ami 🙂👍
😂We're good, thanks. There have been several general elections since the referendum. The only way our traitorous political elite can get the UK anywhere near the EU is through shady deals. Keep lying to yourself.

I am unclear on how rejoining the EU would happen. Nobody in the EU is talking about it. They've moved on. They don't have to take the UK back. If ever they did it wouldn't be the same as before. Am l missing something?

@@lizziebkennedy7505no rebates, no opt outs, no cherry picking exceptionalism, etc available this time. As for now The UK does not meet the Copenhagen criteria, start there.
Brexit has been a disaster. The UK public were fed a pack of lies. It's time to rejoin the EU, but I don't think the EU will be as eager to welcome the UK back (and certainly not with all the concessions it enjoyed before).
While I fervently believe that we should never have left, I am also fully aware that "Re-join" is not an option.
Rejoin implies that we get readmitted under the same terms and conditions that we originally joined under and that is not an option. In order to *JOIN* we would need to meet the Copenhagen Criteria. In order to meet those criteria Britain would need to demonstrate a commitment to democratic governance and human rights, something that the FPTP electoral system and attempts to distance ourselves from the ECHR show a remarkable divergence from. Before long Britain might also fall foul of the requirement to have a functioning market economy, but that may just be a symptom of my personal cynicism.
Then there is the requirement to commit to entering the €uro as well as commitment to free movement, meaning that not only can Brits travel to EU member states but citizens of EU countries can also freely enter the UK.
Considering Charles DeGaulle was able to so accurately describe the shenanigans of Fartage and Widdlecombe half a century in his future I doubt that Britain can convince many EU member states that we can be trusted to fulfil any future promises.
I must say I am impressed. Finally I find a commenter from UK that knows how to join the EU in 2024 and that is not a veryy easy process anymore. There is also the adherence to political , economic and monetary unionm in the Copenhagen Criteria. And nowadays also being able to present a writen codified constitution.

It's probably reading the room fairly well. To my mind it is unrealistic to expect all 27 member states to approve an application to rejoin. They're doing well without us.

Titanic success
But Britain is unsinkable!
Complete failure and source of stress.
Brexit= disaster..
The UK's relationship with the EU has been a trainwreck from day one.
They acted like a spoiled brat who wanted to be part of the cool kids' club but couldn't stand following the rules once they got in.
The government begged to join when they realized they were missing out on the economic party, but they never fully committed to the "European project."
Once in, they constantly whined, demanded special treatment, and acted like they were too good for the rest of Europe. They wanted all the benefits without any of the responsibilities.
UK politicians used the EU as a convenient scapegoat for decades, blaming Brussels for their own failures and feeding the public a steady diet of bullshit about straight bananas and other nonsense.
Meanwhile, the British public evidentally couldn't be arsed to actually learn how the EU worked, preferring to believe words on a red bus trundling around the country.
They swallowed tabloid lies and politician's bullshit hook, line, and sinker.
When things got tough, instead of working to reform the EU from within (where they had significant influence), the government helped by Farage threw a massive tantrum and decided to take their ball and go home.
The Brexit campaign was a shitshow of lies fueled by xenophobia and delusions of grandeur, led by opportunists who never thought they'd actually win.
Now the UK is out, the press media is still bitching about the EU, acting shocked that actions have consequences, and trying to blame everyone but themselves for the mess they've created.
It's like watching a never-ending episode of a really bad reality TV show.
I think the British people need to accept that Brexit is permanent and here to stay. When the UK left, it gave up all the special exemptions and rebates it had negotiated over the years. Even if Brussels was of a mind to try it again, Britain will never get back those exemptions. It would need to join as any other country and agree to Schengen, the euro, full labour mobility etc. I can't imagine a situation where the British public could swallow that. Britain shot itself in the foot and will have to live with the long-term consequences. A pimple on the ass of Europe.
It's not just London you need to appeal to. Pretty much the whole of the UK has been shafted by Brexit. 4 years on, we should be starting to see these 'benefits' of Brexit, but I see none. Best of luck to you going forward.

from ireland, we wish you all well on the long (long!) journey back. Hope ye manage it... but 2 points. 1. it wont be the same UK that will (eventually) rejoin. ie. there will be a unified Ireland by then and g-d knows what the Scots will do
and 2. EU nations will be v v circumspect about the uk rejoining, ie def. prepare for being in the eurozone and giving up all the perks, the uk got.
I sell worldwide and ship worldwide but now the EU have to pay 15-25 percent import duty they have gone elsewhere. How can I replace this lost market, as stated I already ship worldwide. If my profits are down 15-25 percent that is 15-25 percent less I have to spend within the UK -.and so my loss has a knock on affect.
Same here
Before Brexit I was a frequent buyer of UK products, and it was even more cost effective and smoother than buying from France or Germany or Spain. But after Brexit it is very complicated. Sometimes packages are destroyed in customs because they don't meet EU regulations, sometimes packages are returned to the origin because of some bureaucratic error, and when some packages do manage to arrive, I have to pay a lot of extra money for customs duties and bureaucracy, which can double or triple the original cost. The only things I am now buying sporadically in the UK are small things and even then I have to pay extra costs to have them shipped through Ireland. In the end it is not worth it to me to buy in UK.
That money is just lost. It's not a form of revenue for governments or anything like that, the money is just thrown away. Not.
Firstly there is no import duty to the EU for British made goods. That's a fact.
So clearly what you are doing is importing goods or parts of goods built elsewhere, probably China.
Secondly the devaluation of sterling has been big enough to absorb that import rate anyway.
I work for a company that makes a product in Britain; we have no issues exporting to the EU, there are no import duties and due to the devaluation of sterling our product became cheaper for people in the EU and therefore our sales increased.
Brexit is a mess and always was going to fail..It’s time we was allowed to talk about this and it seen to be talked about on mainstream T.V..If Brexit was covered on mainstream,Brexit would crumble fast..Hence is the reason it’s not covered by the mainstream..But it’s only a matter of time until Brexit is covered..
The eu sucks.
If you want a decent future for you, your family and your fellow humans vote to get back into Europe!
Unfortunately it's extremely difficult to get back into the EU and takes a few decades. The dream is just a dream.
The only question is, does EU want England back? Could you count on England not having an other urge of megalomania and again in 10 years time? Personally I’m sad to see the UK now standing outside EU.
Thecuk always had a superior and condescending attitude towards other Europeans claiiming that god woildnt have made the english channel if great Britain were to be part of Europe
I was and always will be a Remainer but caution those calling for rejoining that it’s a generational project and won’t happen soon. There are multiple reasons both on the UK side and from the EU side.
Brexit disaster
Speak for yourself, I love it.
How can it be a success if its not been fully implemented.
What remains to be implemented?
That should've been done way before we officially left the EU, not after. There was no plan whatsoever and was deemed to fail
I am European/French. The problem with Brexit is that British people were sold a lie.
Mainly, that the UK would be fixed in terms of immigration, and become a sort of Hong Kong 2.0, and get its glory back.
In fact, the UK economy depends heavily on EU import and export, and leaving destroyed your opportunities, leaving you isolated and backward.
Not a single European country in 2024 can just be outside the EU and exist on its own and prosper. Only Switzerland achieved this but its a unique small population country with a very special banking industry and culture. As to the immigrants, BREXIT got rid of the skilled and culturally similar European immigrants, but kept all the wrong ones in (illegal third world migrants). Thus BREXIT gave you the worst of everything. Unfortunately I don't think joining the EU is going to happen anytime soon, especially since the EU will make it pricy for the UK to do so.
* British people were sold a lie * That was in the 1970s - we rectified it in 2016.
Switzerland is keeping all the dirty money from the world and stolen money from the murdered Jews...
Rejoin or Independence for Scotland!

Sure.
Anything is possible.
Who would have thought in 2004 that the UK would be outside the EU?
However, the driving force behind our exit was a small cabal of elites who will not allow us to return - and there is no way the UK can be convinced to adopt the euro.
This would be a prerequisite.

Rejoining seems obviously a good idea and something inevitable in th long run, but I think you should avoid being like the Brexiteers who uncovered the cost for Brexit and be honest about the cost that re-joining the EU will mean, among other things the loss of the British Pound in favour of the Euro.
If the UK is so powerful in its opinion, maybe the EU should join the UK? Would that be a solution? After Brexit, the UK will probably no longer join the EU, so let the EU join the UK? The same stupid idea as the UK leaving the European Union.
