The EU in key figures. Various statistics.
@SydesJokes Nah....Scotland, Wales, and North Ireland however should!

@SydesJokes yes...

But not tomorrow.
Needs to be one step at a time

Join the customs union first (that's the most important but)
Then the EEA as a whole and eventually the EFTA

Whether we the rejoin the EU itself would very much depend on what happen in the meantime

@SydesJokes No, just leave us be. If the UK joins, they have to use the Euro.
@SydesJokes If they join the EU again - why not?
@SydesJokes note that is possible to be part of one and not the other, e.g. Norway (SM but not CU) and Turkey (part of CU but not SM)

@SydesJokes no way they’re taking that toxic lot back into their ranks. UK kicked, screamed, sabotaged all the way; then left. There’s a general sense of good riddance, it’s not like ther’s an invitation for the kid that pissed all over the place to rejoin the party.

The sovereign Scots are welcome, of course.

@SydesJokes EU is doing better without the constant troublemaker.

@SydesJokes This is a decision that is ultimately up to the British people and I feel like it is not my place as a German to tell them what to do. I respect their decision, whatever that is.

But yes, UK should re-join the EU...

@SydesJokes

That would almost certainly mean allowing freedom of movement at which point we might as well rejoin the EU

@SydesJokes from my European perspective, yes please
@SydesJokes I don't seem to be able to vote but YES
@SydesJokes
We can't just join stuff because we think we're entitled. Nor will the EU let us cherry-pick the things we want. We made our bed, and we will have to lie in the mess for quite a few years to come. It doesn't really matter what WE want. We lost the right to have a say in June 2016. Rejoining is many years away, and we will never get back all that the Tory Brexit bastards have stolen from us. That is where we are now.

@SydesJokes

At the beginning of #brexit , a very old English veteran, speaking at a D-day commemoration, declared that it would such a shame to waste all his generation's effort to win that war and then bind Europe back together into a peaceful whole.

As an American, living in a country where we've been set at each other's throats by the evil efforts of the psychological manipulators, I do sympathize with him.

Similar ops have been run on us.

We have to work to put things back together.

@SydesJokes Hi Lord Sydes, I'm Lord Snafu of Fuch Hall on twitter, just starting on Mastodon, so any help would be appreciated.
