@Gargron@mastodon.social @po3mah@mastodon.social @Tarbh@mastodon.ie @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Sure. That's not what I was responding to, I replied to someone describing it as a cunning plan to get the Brits to "reconsider". It's not, but any such plan would be the equivalent of self-harm on our part.

@Veza85UE@eupolicy.social @po3mah@mastodon.social @Tarbh@mastodon.ie @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I would like the UK to rejoin. We have shared history, shared interests, and shared families. By all means, clown on Cameron, Farage, Johnson and May, but there's no reason to punish people who wanted to remain in the EU.

@Gargron@mastodon.social @po3mah@mastodon.social @Tarbh@mastodon.ie @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Our shared history in the EU is not one of kumbaya and happy clappy cooperation, why pretend otherwise? Do you miss their EUCO veto ? For all the great work of a handful of civil servants and judges who understood the 🇪🇺 project and built the Single Market, Brits NEVER accepted what the EU is.* I lived there at the time, I have enough reasons to doubt this notion of a few bad apples. The sense of entitlement and exceptionalism is pervasive in both camps.
