Even in the UK there are more people that want to rejoin than stay out so this makes sense
Learning from your own mistakes makes you smart.
Learning from other people's mistakes makes you wise. >

Thanks UK for showing our idiots what happens when you self impose sanctions on yourself >

...can our reward for our selfless sacrifice be reentry when the inevitable reentry referendum (empire slinks back? Return of the geordi? Backtrack of the clones? As alternatives to "brejoin" or "breturn"). Obviously we'd lose all our special exceptions, but that's very much the idiot tax >

The EU would take the UK back but with a massive humble pie. No more special rules or exemptions, ditching the pound for the euro, etc. >

Oh yeah, absolutely, I even expect the "Islands are different" exemption from schengen zone to be removed, although I expect Ireland might have something to say about that >


Islands are different" exemption from schengen 

Whats this about? I thought Ireland couldn't do schengen because of the soft border with Britain (Northern Ireland) >

I am pretty sure you're right. The Schengen area already contains one island member state (Malta), and numerous sizeable islands belonging to other member states. Ireland cannot join Schengen because it maintains a Common Travel Area with the United Kingdom, and I imagine the UK is uninterested in Schengen for the usual reasons it is against all EU integration. >

Iceland is also in Schengen >

You're welcome, EU. >

It made Britain look like a selfish asshole while actually it was taking one for the team. >

Not only selfish, but just plain stupid >

Well you have to admit that the plan was genius: give less, take more. >

Like Lord Buckethead once said: it will be a shit show. >

Never thought I'd see the day when the two biggest reasons for European Unity was Russia and the UK. >

I'll argue that the strong British response to Russian aggression in Ukraine is doing a lot to smooth things over with our mainland neighbours. >

Co-operating against Russia has certainly done a lot to move on from the vaccine wars. >

Cooperation against Russia was a major stepping stone for building the modern Italian nation-state.
It's practically a time honored tradition. >

Not the poster child I ever wanted to be. >

Who could have seen this becoming such a disaster.
Oh right... >

No, not the right. They didn't see it at all. >

They sure did, and saw the chance to profit from it >

Oh, the few up top did. But the masses that follow them in lock step didn't. They thought that it'd be sunshine and lollipops. >

Normal people: 'Sensible reason not to leave'
Brexiters: "It's Project Fear, you're all just mad that you lost and you're trying to scare people"
Reality hits hard bitches. >

I’d love to see Farage’s face when he sees this. He was so sure there would be a Frexit, Itaxit, etc. >

Farage doesnt care, he has his European passport >

And Russian money >

It’s so damn stupid. If UK had a referendum vote I almost guarantee it would be >60% in favour of STAYING in the EU.
There’s a stat being thrown around that a significant % of voters that voted to leave the EU are now deceased of old age. 
People are stupid , and racist, and ignorant >

Brexit . Economic suicide . Cheers lying politicians >

And cheers dumbass citizens for not doing basic research. >

The general public is naturally stupid . Easily exploitable >

No shit. 
Brexit is the largest non-war related self-own* in modern history. And a lot of Brits are fucking PROUD of it. 
*had to include the war caveat because Putin-Ukraine. >

Not sure about that, got famine causing agriculture policies and the one child policy in China to compare to. And whatever Argentina did to decide to not be on the path to be the most developed nation on the planet as they once were.
But those are very very low bars. >

By modern history I really meant the 21st. China's One Child policy definitely up there!
