@Rhodesianman "before Maggie dragged us into the EU"

We joined the EU (the EEC as it was known then) in 1973. Ted Heath was our PM, [b]NOT[/b] Maggie Thatcher (she became PM in 1979).

We held an EU Referendum in 1975 and voted to remain.

@room101 the eu was completely different in 1975, if they were the same I would vote to remain again...this new bunch are just greedy...

@Platinum I was not addressing the 1975 referendum. I was addressing the false assertion that we are in the EU because of Maggie Thatcher.

Having said that however, I agree with you in essence. The EEC was very different to the EU of today. I don't know how I would have voted back then...........I was only six years old😉

Is it legally possible to cancel Brexit? I know that Tony Blair seems to think that it is. I suspect that he thinks so because Article 50 does not specifically mention the ability to rescind the triggering of said Article once it has been........erm triggered. Sorry for the messy syntax.

And then there's the consequences of cancelling Brexit. Not just in terms of domestically within the UK, I'm thinking more in terms of the EU itself and how we would be viewed and treated if we said:

"Sorry, we messed up. We still love you really and want you to take us back. Please, pretty please."

I'm being a tad facetious here because of all the references to divorce.

For full disclosure, I've always been a bit of an EU sceptic (actually, I've been a lot of an EU sceptic) but, I voted Remain.

@Platinum I'm confused. What don't you agree with exactly?

The EU wanting a deal has nothing to do with our legal ability to cancel Brexit.

@room101 legally possible to cancel brexit...not saying it can't be done, the way we are being shafted by May, I'm sure if her latest agreement is voted against by Parliment then she will say then we will remain...this has been her plan all along ...

@room101 I'm also a euro sceptic remainer. EU bad, Brexit is worse is the simple analysis
TheSeptikSkeptik · 46-50, M
Personally, I think that the EU should get a divorce lawyer.

@jackjjackson You don't know how right you are. See the Polly Toynbee article in the Guardian.

Isn’t there recourse for blowing off a legal referendum?@Burnley123
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@jackjjackson People didn't vote for this deal, they voted for a fantasy.

You could have a referendum on unlimited sex with supermodels and I think that would win. Oh... did we say supermodels? We meant inflatable dolls. Yeah but you voted so we have to do it now. Brexit means Brexit

In my opinion the best possible outcome would be a new deal brexit.
and they're all a bit shit and will make us all hate each other more but I guess we've just gotta cancel brexit cuz it's the only one with any potential for optimism, even at the expense of what's left of our national dignity

@AndrewtheAlu I've come to the same conclusion.
Platinum · M
@AndrewtheAlu you honestly believe if it was cancelled, we would all just forget it and we would all be the same as before the referendum....

Let's not Brexit
@Ross19 ok....exaggeration but britain has moved from being a manufacturing country to services and produce.
gol979 · 41-45, M
@Ross19 our manufacturing industry has decreased immensely. I'm not saying it had disappeared, it hasnt, but it has been decimated
Ross19 · 31-35, M
@gol979 I don’t agree. I work in an industry that supplies spares for a lot of machines and our biggest market is manufacturing sector
