    FYI: the UK can rejoin the EU but will never get the sweetheart deal they had when they Brexited

      Which I think is fair TBH. We had a sweet deal, but we fucked it up by being idiots. No reason to give us special treatment, dumb actions have consequences.

      why would EU entertain Breturn? Even if they did allow this, UK would just exit again in a few years.

          Then why did they leave? I thought Brussels was stealing all the money, and if UK goes back, what will happen to the 200 million a year the NHS gets?

          Buses dont lie.

            You need to accept the fact that even idiots can realize they were lied to now and then. It seems like enough British idiots noticed in this case.

              What on earth makes you believe that “enough British idiots noticed” they were lied to? Reform UK is at 26% in polls, was at 30% not long ago… that’s double what UKIP ever had before Brexit. Idiocy doesn’t just disappear, even the most naive should have realized that after Trump’s return.

                They will acknowledge they may have been lied to about one thing while happily swallowing all the other lies they’ve been told. I didn’t say they stopped being idiots, just that in the face of overwhelming proof some of them would recognize a mistake or two.
