I think most of us who want to rejoin are perfectly aware that that's never coming back. We chopped it up, set it on fire, and pissed on the ashes. Against my wishes and those of half the country, but we did. So be it. But if a nebulous vision of reclaiming what we had can get people thinking about rejoining, I'll take it. Anything is better than the current disaster.

I'm sorry you were taken out against your will. I for one would welcome the UK back into the EU, but some reform would be required I think. I don't fancy a second brexit.

Thank you. Sadly, I suspect we're going to have to live in the wreckage for at least 20 or 30 years before that happens, but perhaps I'm unduly pessimistic. Still, if it will finally get the Little Englanders to give up on their poisonous dreams, at least some good will come out of it in the long run.
