Brits can’t understand they will never be the center of anything ever again.
The empire is dead and the nation is on life support. It’s over.
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.
I know, it’s hilarious how they want to be at the “centre of Europe” again. What? They have always been to special for that, and now, they’re the laughing stock of Europe.
You’re right, British comedy is the best in Europe, as is their music.
Yeah talk about driving the last nail in your OWN coffin.
…with your own forehead
The reality when the UK rejoins will be similar to what it was before, just with less opt outs and special treatment. As one of the larger economies and populations they will have a larger say just by way of how the parliament works.
Painting it as a desire for empire is a bit silly.
It’s a desire to matter, not necessarily the desire for empire. They want to be “the centre” of Europe.
They will never matter that much again. Their place as an empire and head of nations was a historical accident and they blew it, and now they’re just one nation of many with nothing special to offer.
Why do you think they go so overboard with their monarch pageantry? They yearn for the old days.
Nope, most British just wanted the single market, there was no appetite and little awareness of the EU’s desire for ever more political union.
The monarchy is a historical relic, a tape back up if parliament fails and a tourist attraction.
Sure, only the second largest economy in Europe, second largest global financial hub, and third largest tech sector globally…
The empire is dead, but you’re using British technology and English language right now, lol.

No thanks we don’t want you
Don’t worry, it won’t happen
It’s how fediverse works, you can defederate and federate again in case you change your mind.
EU should ban monarchy though, they’re just anachronistic nowadays.

Really? You don’t say! Wait, no, we DID say!
It hasn’t even started yet. The Common Agriculture Policy production subsidy has destroyed our habitat, and for what?
It was supposed to provide cheap food if war ever broke out. Fail.
