Brits can't understand they will never be the center of anything ever again.

The empire is dead and the nation is on life support. It's over.

I think most of us who want to rejoin are perfectly aware that that's never coming back. We chopped it up, set it on fire, and pissed on the ashes. Against my wishes and those of half the country, but we did. So be it. But if a nebulous vision of reclaiming what we had can get people thinking about rejoining, I'll take it. Anything is better than the current disaster.

I'm sorry you were taken out against your will. I for one would welcome the UK back into the EU, but some reform would be required I think. I don't fancy a second brexit.

I know, it's hilarious how they want to be at the "centre of Europe" again. What? They have always been to special for that, and now, they're the laughing stock of Europe.

You're right, British comedy is the best in Europe, as is their music.

Yeah talk about driving the last nail in your OWN coffin.

Sure, only the second largest economy in Europe, second largest global financial hub, and third largest tech sector globally...

The empire is dead, but you're using British technology and English language right now, lol.

Brexit has failed

Really? You don't say! Wait, no, we DID say!

It's how fediverse works, you can defederate and federate again in case you change your mind.
EU should ban monarchy though, they're just anachronistic nowadays.
