      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.
