Dear British People,

enough is enough.
Really. Stop making an ass of yourselves. You are nice and kind and lovely people, do you really want to become the laughing stock of the civilized world?
"The people have spoken", haha. Just accept the fact that Brexit was/is/will always be a textbook example of a crackpot idea that leads nowhere but down.
Now get rid of the Demonic Possession and come back home please. We Europeans aren't perfect either, and we will happily accept your sincere apologies. Just send us a bottle of Isle of Skye whisky and an annual subscription to the Royal Shakespeare Company, and we will be fine. See you in Paris/Berlin/Rome next summer, let's get drunk [and I [u]mean[/u] drunk!], and let's have a good laugh together, about this present madness. 🌷

Yours cordially,
helenS.

I'm happy to stay in the EU if Government commit to a plan to solve modern day slavery and appalling growth in the rogue landlord epedimic blighting cities.

Blaires open door policy was badly judged and ironically pulverised core labour voters whilst other EU nations kept control of protecting their home workforce. Since then the tory austerity brigade created opportunities for fat cat execs to exploit labor markets with gig economy enterprises.

In other words, we are fucked.

We need careers for carers and decent living wages for our young starting out.

@Ironicman After leaving the Union, the UK will most likely no longer stick to EU social and environmental standards.
80% of British environmental laws come from the European Union (EU). These laws may be weakened, removed, or harder to enforce if our British friends will find themselves outside the "neo-totalitarian" (hello Martin!) EU.
Boris Johnson is scrapping a commitment by Theresa May to stick to EU rules on the environment, safety standards and workers’ rights – to raise his chances of getting a trade agreement with America. Mr Johnson’s cabinet want the commitments downgraded to give the UK more flexibility to lower its standards for American goods. 😕
