The EC wasn't dissolved. You have believed the lies of the Brexit campaign. Even they said nobody was talking about leaving the Single Market.

I'm married to a Yorkshireman who feels exactly the same way as me. Leeds and Newcastle both voted Remain so stop acting like a victim and blaming north/south divides because it doesn't wash.

Tolerance of what? Saying that people who live in the south have completely different feelings to northeners?

Lol ..its never stopped you before
Talking about fixing the U.K. without mentioning rejoining the EU is like talking about putting out a forest fire and not mentioning water
We need to rejoin to survive. Simple as that.
The leader who takes us back into full EU membership will be hailed as the leader who saved the U.K.
Until someone has the balls to take us back in, we have zero hope of ever being a legitimate power in the world.
No vote. No referendum. Just someone with a spine who says “we’re going back in because it’s the right thing to do”.

Oi! Unnecessary!
It’s a quote from Knocked Up.

I'm out working in Barcelona at the moment. Been here for a long weekend. What a beautiful city.
I'm staying with family who live here so I get to see what it's like to live here. It is wonderful. I really do wonder whether we realise how far behind we are falling. I think not. I think we're insulated from how so much of our infrastructure and local services are becoming tier 2.
And we constantly let our leaders pull the wool over our eyes. We should be so much angrier.

The U.K. is becoming a £shop N. Korea.
Much of mainland Europe has lapped UK many times over in terms of living standards, wages, pensions, health care, transport and infrastructure, culture, venues, etc.
I was in Copenhagen last year. Just streets ahead of grotty old U.K. where nurses are visiting food banks and children go hungry.
And we are told all Europe does is punish the U.K. for leaving the EU and send over criminal migrants .
I have never been happier to be Irish and have the passport to prove it.

unfortunately it's not as simple as that, the EU would have to vote to allow the UK to rejoin and it would probably be on their terms not our's OR we could create a new relationship similar to Switzerland, we cannot join EFTA as they wouldn't let us in, it is specific to those nations. The idea we can just walk back in is pie in the sky i'm afraid
Scandinavia has for generations now been ahead of the rest. I'd live there, my son and his girlfriend plan to.
Austria, Germany, Netherlands tick those boxes too imho.
But I don't get that feeling of immaculate perfection in many other continental countries. We shouldn't generalise. Literally millions of ethnic Africans live in vast sink estates in the suburbs of France. Next to no chance of ever working, loathed by racist whites, in a quasi war with the police.

Almost as if Brexit was created irreversible damage to our country isn't it?
But still... at least those euro fat cats and dinghys and things or something....

Neat reply
You must have scanned the thread for just one of what a handful of posts ? ..it was hard not to reply after seeing your side splitting post

Correct. We'll need our own EFTA-style arrangement that runs alongside EFTA. No way the EU will let us back in for at least a decade from the point we realign. Too much disruption and uncertainty.
It'll be full EU entry, probably on our part in the parliament after next, whilst sounding out the EU.
The other potential spanner is by how much Hard Left disrupters are able to screw Starmer's term. In terms of dampening the right wing vote in say the 2028 GE.
