Rejoined 🇪🇺 December 2024 🇮🇪🛂

A Brit in the semis of Wimbledon, England still in the World Cup and Nigel Farage spending the summer arguing with a bin. Oh this happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea

Something of a consensus seems to be forming around Brexit 10 years on: 1) It's not been as bad as the worst predictions 2) It has undeniably been negative 3) No version of Brexit would have turned out net-positive 4) Britain would be better off back in the EU than staying out So rejoin!

Now that the 750m or so Unite the Kingdom participants are heading back to their towns and villages, or Benidorm or Dubai, spare a thought for the poor coca farmers of Latin America who’ve not had a minute’s leave since Tel Aviv Steve set the date. Like Santa’s elves in January.
