  2. That’s like resetting your computer to factory settings and then want your files back.

  3. play stupid games, win stupid prizes, innit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    at least it’s good that Labour is legitimately trying to clean up UKIP’s mess

  4. People voted they wanted out, they got out, now they wonder why they are not treated like they are in.

    Maybe next time, they won’t get so easily manipulated by surface level lies.

  6. So… join the EU? Too bad you will not get the same deal as previously.

  7. Yeah… won’t be happening I’m sure for a long time. The UK will not be trusted as they might decide to do another Brexit again and the UK will extremely unlikely agree to adopting the Euro and going into Schengen.

  8. Still insane to me that they exited the EU on the whim of less than 1% of a difference.

  9. Basically, UK wants all the benifits of the EU without paying for it. But setting up institutions that set standards, coordinate the economy etc costs money. Even Switzerland and Norway are paying fees to the EU despite the fact that they aren‘t represented in the parliament.

    Edit. ActuallybSwitzerland „only“ pays a voluntary support to eastern european countries which aren‘t fees in the technical sense.

  10. It says reset, but it will most probably lead to minor improvements, if any. There’s no rejoining and the other stuff that r/europe Redditors like to point out (Euro, FoM, ECJ….)

  11. This article is talking about Labour wanting to improve relations between the EU and UK, making various deals on things such as defense and youth mobility, don’t know what the chatter in these comments about rejoining is about.

  12. “New government adopts different foreign policy strategy to their predecessor” getting a weirdly hostile response from this sub for some reason.

    Literally no one in the current UK government thought Brexit was a good idea, so yea naturally they’re going to try and improve the situation.

  13. Now that Trump wants US to isolate itself, integrating Britain back in the EU would be a good move.

  14. It was sad to see our british friends were lied to. “Taking back control” was nothing more than an empty rhetorical propaganda shell.

  15. For those who can’t read past a inflammatory headline (which is a shocking amount of people here apparently) The prime minister is having a tough time following his policy of close cooperation with the EU due to a legal case and what seems to be a misunderstanding between him and European diplomats especially on things like youth travel schemes and fishing.

    The EU side is pushing hard for things that the prime minister can’t agree to and the court case has some returning to a 2012 mindset. With all of the above the progress that has been made seems to be reversing as I said to a less cooperative position and more grating one.

    Now an unrelated rant, you lot can act all high and mighty but fucking hell look at this thread it’s the reminder of how many people can be swayed by just a headline.

  16. This would be nice, since brexit i stopped buying stuff from uk because of customs

  17. When we say Britain is quite ambiguous and generalised. He, Keir Starmer himself, wants, not most people. This will cause a political crisis.

  18. Well Labour never offered a real alternative during the post-Brexit elections. Corbyn was a soft-Brexiteer himself so there was never a shot to realize that shift in opinion. No matter what public opinion was, as long as the majority of the Conservatives wanted it, it was happening.

  21. No, they don’t. Read the article; it’s about enhancing the communication and relation between the EU and the UK.

  22. Boomers vote for brexit so that foreigners go away

    Brexit happens

    Foreigners stayed anyway, things went to shit

    Boomers : O

  23. Why am I seeing meltdowns in the comments? More UK derangement syndrome?

  24. I still think an explicitly non-binding referendum being treated explicitly as binding was fucking stupid. What’s the point in telling people to vote on something that you say will not have consequences if you treat it as fundamentally consequential?

  25. Can’t the Brits just join the Nordics so we all can leave the EU and have our own EU with blackjacks and hookers

  26. I lost track. It seems there are 22 different versions between Brexit and Bremain.

  28. Don’t forget this vote excluded a lot of young people who would’ve turned the tide of the vote, whilst racist fossils who died a month later were still eligible to vote.

  29. why do we need them to rejoin? They dont share the same values and think all their taxes go to the EU. We dont need to play ball, we are the bigger block. If they want to rejoin, they should get the chance, but we dont really need another round of scapegoating us for their failed policies.

  31. Just to get access to the Inner Market as a second country will require the UK to give up a lot of the benefits it had as a member. Fully rejoining would mean total harmonisation with the EU and there’s no chance of that happening within the next two generations.

  32. It was never about what was best for the people of Britain, it was always about what was best for the Conservatives. Then they got Shanghaied by the far right wing of the party and the fear of being marginalised by Farage and his faction of goons.

    It was a stupid idea, it caused and continues to cause immense harm to the UK. And whilst the political class is unwilling to publically admit it was an immensely fuckwitted act of self harm they are still in thrall to the narrative that they have to “respect democracy” because they are shit scared of Barry and his merry band of bigots who were never able to think beyond the headlines of the front page of the Daily Mail and The Sun, and who they fear will electorally crucify them if they dare suggest it was, is, and will remain the most monumental act of stupidity a country has enacted in the last 70 years. (America says hold my coat).

  33. Don’t go for it Kier, you want to get more riots on the streets this is the way to do it, i voted to remain, and however much i want to rejoin, and i really do, this issue is to much of a hot potato right now, and will just put farage in downing street in four years time.

  34. No don’t come back and keep sabotaging any attempt to strengthen a continental union. You’ve been doing so for decades. Assume your Brexit.

  36. The entire world could only dream of being part of the EU while UK legit left that dream. Insanity

  37. Brexit was a KGB operation, one of many designed to weaken the West, achieved through political bribery and disinformation.
