And how much of this focus and preparation is on anything other than rejoining the EU? By whom? The government are supposed to have a huge team negotiating trade deals and rewriting EU law. It’s pretty ineffective so far as I can see. What is being done behind the scenes about establishing the rejoining pathway I have no information on. People like me will just continue to advocate to rejoin, whilst living with the current situation as best we can. Being retired means I have little direct involvement with the changes.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

Why do you want to rejoin?

Why do you want to rejoin? For the same reason I wanted to remain. That we are stronger, more secure and have more influence over the future direction of the world inside the EU than out.

So you think that Brexit has financially benefitted the UK, and that man-made climate change isn't real? Because economists (and the government's own impact assessment in the case of Brexit) are very much saying the opposite. What I implied by my post was that I have little faith in the quality and accuracy of the pronouncements of so called economic and climate change, so called, experts. I think the financial situation in the UK would be more less as it is now if we were still in the EU as we no doubt would still have blown billions during the so called pandemic and irresponsibly printed money and raised taxes, all of which, along with Ukraine, has put us in the position we are in.

Certainly not the electorate, who can only vote for powerless MEPs - rather like the North Koreans voting for members of their Peoples Assembly. How does being one voice among nearly 30 others make us stronger. Our security largely depends on NATO not the EU. The EU influence over the 'future of the world' is insignificant and where is does have influence, is insidiousness.

When are people going to get over this? I voted remain, would vote to rejoin given the chance. BUT, it is what it is, make the best of being out and stop insulting those who voted to stay. Remoaners is a derogative term, grow up. I dare you to post this on bbs thread! If you think HOL posters are being derogatory, you will get your eyes well and truly opened on there. Early death being wished on those that voted leave, one extreme example. If you voted leave and are a boomer, jeez the anti-Christ reincarnated

That is not good Sporty! The point I was trying to make is that leave or remain we are in the same boat, with differing views. That's all. I agree with another poster on this thread, the term Remoaner is an insult and frankly people chucking that stuff around, still, are embittered. Why? They got what they wanted! Remain is now out of date, we're out. Maybe, they should go live in Russia or N Korea if they don't like views other than their own. How long does that 2016 mandate last for? Damn, revealed myself! Effing remoaner!!!

Effing remoaner!!! As has been pointed out remoaner was only applied following constant allegations of stupidity, populist rhetoric and often strongly implied racism. How are leavers supposed to react? And isn't not liking views other than one's own the basis of political opinion?
