    I don’t see how it’s too early to rejoin, we were already a part of it and leaving was a mistake. Hurry back I say, and devil take the hindmost.

      Rejoining is going to be a long process, if we are allowed at all, and it will just make the brexit skisim permanent and help Reform.

        That’s not what the statistics say. There’s a reason Nigel no longer mentions Brexit regularly. Because most Brits, even much of the racist bigoted ones or hoodwinked ones that vote for him, see that Brexit was a mistake. They’re living in that mistake.

        I dunno. I’m an immigrant, so maybe I just refuse to get it on some level. My citizenship used to give me access to a whole continent, leaving was so painful and benefited only Russia. I’ll never solve the Hellraiser puzzle box of the British voter’s psyche, and maybe I should just be okay with that.

          I’m an immigrant too, what makes you stay? Brexit was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me, and I left 2 years after. I figured that if I wasn’t going to be living in my home country, I wasn’t going to deal with the racist fallout of empowered racists post brexit. I moved onto a third country, and I’m doing ok here.

            It’s hard enough to immigrate a young child once. If I did it again I don’t know if my kid could cope. Or my wife. I just finished supporting her through optometry school, and that degree only works in so many countries.

            Also, before I even entertained moving again I’d have to think of a third country that would have us. And somehow isn’t also doing late stage capitalism bullshit, you know?

            I moved my whole family once, and to everyone at home we’re the smart ones who got out. If I moved again it would start to look more habitual than Sybil-sighted. wan smile
