Rejoining the EU is not a question of immigration, economy, trade...
It's about being part of a union, a brotherhood of people, a cooperation of people from different cultures
Yes, I too hope to see the UK rejoining one day...

People had enough of decades of stagnation and wealth inequality
while crooked politicians and their shadowy masters take advantage of ordinary people

All this vandalism will do is leave us with devastated ecosystems, fewer green spaces, worse quality of life, while neither solving the housing crisis (because the problem IS NOT AND NEVER WAS "bats and newts") nor creating "growth".

Honestly, the mainstream media reaction to Zack Polanski entering the elites’ own conversation space…
