Should we try to bolster our friendship with Europe?
The author claims that the UK government “must unambiguously launch talks on a big, expansive trade deal with the EU coupled with a deal on European defence”.
Do you agree?
Who could blame them? Lots of European people take a “you made your bed, lie in it” attitude. When we were in the EU, we were in on excellent terms, which will no longer be available, which will be a hard pill to swallow for many.
Not my view for what it’s worth. I’d happily welcome the UK back in.
The problem is, lots of Europeans also think the UK shat their bed, then got up and left. That’s not easy to forgive.
Made their bed, shat in it, and in many cases refuse to leave/accept it’s a bad situation. I can understand Europeans who won’t forgive. I was fucking heartbroken when I woke up that morning and found out Leave had won. I wouldn’t shut up about what a stupid idea it was, on social networks and real life.
