Let's do something Putin will hate. Let's rejoin the #EU. And if that means we have to have cheaper food and fuel; the right to live, work, and retire in 31 other countries; higher environmental standards; and peace secured in NI, then that's a price I'm willing to pay...

@juglugs Nobody wants you in the EU. Nobody wanted you in the EU before you too, you were always a pain in the ass but it was to difficult to get rid of you. Thank you for leaving — no way you’re getting back in.

Have a nice day.

@glevonian @juglugs Oh no, I quite liked having the UK in the EU *because* they were such troublemakers. I was sad to see them go.

I like the EU project and I'm happy that my birth country joined, but some heavyweights in the union are prone to rushing headlong into a deeper union in ways that sometimes make sense, sometimes don't. It's been valuable to have an opposition party.

@clacke @juglugs Sorry, it’s axiomatic, aside from a few nut cases, everyone in the world with a brain hates the British. Every week a country somewhere in the world celebrates their independence from British colonization.

Whenever something bad happens to the British, everyone in the world is a little bit happier.

@glevonian @juglugs That's all true, and yet they served a purpose. Perhaps even exactly because they couldn't get more unpopular than they were anyway. 😃

@clacke @juglugs I can’t imagine anyone in the EU wanting them back, sorry.
