      Cheers mate, try to tell that to Sunak and co. They don’t care. Will of the people. Etc.

      I like Brits, you’re very smart

      As Brexit should have taught you: no, no we are not.

        I hate the “will of the people” bollocks. They keep saying that about stopping the boats but I really don’t think that their solution of sending them to Rwanda is really the “will of the people”.

      I think the point is to make sure everyone else aware that Brexit failed, in case any other country starts thinking about copying it

      I mean, yeah, it looks like it failed… are you going to do anything about it? Are you asking back in? You can’t take it back, can you?

      Inevitably, in the coming years brits will be working towards “reducing red tape” to “improve trade with EU” which basically means re-joining the EU without actually having to say that’s what you’re doing.

      So yeah, I think things are being done about it, and this sort of expression of public sentiment can only enhance that process.
