    Well, that’s the same terms under which Denmark is a member. I think it’s acceptable.

        Theoretically, yes. However , since 2016 we’ve had ‘temporary border controls’ on the German and Swedish borders.

        Edit: Utimately, the EU will be stronger with the UK back in. Militarily, economically, politically.

        So let’s not be assholes about it - they were manipulated to leave, in part by Russian agents using the Cambridge Analytica data scandal to run political ads without informed consent, and also in part by their national politicians blaming everything bad on the EU for 50 years.

        I think we’ve all learned from it, and I’d be happy to see them back in the EU.

          I fear their direction on personal privacy. They are running a strong line toward US/Russia style oversight of people’s lives. Not to mention they have the most cctv in the world already, now they want to ban VPNs and push for IDs on all srvices.

            Well, yes, but I also fear that from my own Danish government and many other governments in the EU. I still think the EU as a block will be stronger with the UK in instead of out.

              Yes we will be economically and militarily. But militarily we have agreements already.

              I don’t want to have desgrading return on investment in life because a line goes up somewhere for some dickhead and I am supposedly safer from a foreign enemy but I have now have a local enemy in my tech and home.

      And were Denmark to leave EU and rejoin Denmark would no longer have that sweet deal. And the British population - those still alive at least - knew that. But so many old people had just enough nationalism left in them that as a fuck-you before they left this plane of existence, they just had to screw everyone over.
      I really feel bad for especially Scotland though, because I think a big enough % of them voted no to independence just 2 years prior to the Brexit referendum because it meant staying in the EU, that had they known of the result beforehand they’d have definitely voted for freedom from those clowns in the south.

        I just don’t see what we have to gain from being hardliners on this. And as you said, many of the people voting leave have died.

        In practical terms, if your currency is pegged to the Euro there’s no difference to having the Euro. And many countries have partially-official Schengen deals or at least act like they do, control the borders they want to, etc.
