Opinion polls mean diddly squat. Well that’s what we are told when the Tories are in the lead.

I agree with your last paragraph but:

1) no one is forcing them to come

2) Were the poorer EU countries not denied their clinicians?

3) Observation from the airport do not back up your observations.

4) Many EU nationals travelled home due to the pandemic not Brexit. It was open to them to have registered to return

I think the point was they were voted in by a democratic vote. Many of Those running the EU are not

They had covid in the EU- so its like for like- we can"t keep dragging that up as to why we are going to be the worst performing nation bar Russia! The French had covid, yet cap the energy rise at 4%, with covid, we, are on 400% and rising- with covid, and aren"t wanting to change anything like taxing the oil giants, like you, even thou the head of BP has said tax us, we dont care as we made record profits and won2t be pulling out of any future deals!

And who knows what the future might hold? Given what looks like a potentially fantastic new Government in Italy and the smashing job the likes of Orban in Hungary is doing, then perhaps rejoining a revitalised EU might actually be an option for the future?

Always said that a genuinely Right Wing, Pan-European vision had its attractions and perhaps if that takes hold in more and more nations, then rejoining could well be an option for the future.

Possibly, but changing the rules of democracy to suit ones own purpose, ie, not going to prison or losing your income, isn"t very democratic- if it is, who needs democracy?
