      We don’t want this dystopian nightmare either, and just like Brexit we weren’t told what it was before it was too late. Hopefully you will welcome us back when all the liars are voted out and ignored.

        Not that it’s different on the continent but you can’t expect to be told these things. You gave to gather those informations yourself.

          Not easy when 7 of the top 8 newspapers are just propaganda for the Tories. You can only convert so many people when entire fear and belief systems have been cultivated over decades.

        Europe will always welcome you, since for us it’s obvious you belong here.

        But it’s not going to happen since Brits think they’re part of the “international” world. And I guess with many thinking this they’re not entirely wrong.

          I think you may be generalising based on what our politicians say and comments on social media that are written by Russian bot farms or not mass reported by them.

          All poles confirm the UK public know they were lied to and would never make the same mistake again.

            I don’t disagree but you’re not going to find a majority that wants to reapply

              Nine years after the EU referendum, most Britons would support ‘Brejoining’

                Okay I wish it would happen, but this doesn’t talk what specific terms etc. I still doubt it will happen

        It seems that this time the EU plans to follow the UK in these atrocious policies against the Human Right to privacy, unfortunately. What a hell of a can of worms your country has opened.
