Why? Half the country voted to remain. It’s not our fault the other half are fucking morons. Make us adopt you euro, I don’t give a fuck

Half the country voted to remain.
Firstly, not everyone in the country votes. The turnout for the EU referendum was only 72.2%.
Secondly, of the non-spolied ballots, only 48.1% were in favour of remaining. Which is not only much less than half the country but a good 1.9% away from the minimum 50% required for your statement not to bollocks.

Woww 48.1 truly is sooo far away from 50% and not at all within a margin of error.
You know what they meant, don’t be pedantic.

The EU definitely wouldn’t let us back in, it was hard enough for us to get in the first time.

As a British citizen, I hope that they are accepted, without any of the special concessions Thatcher handbagged out of Delors, and with the proviso that they adopt the Euro and enter the Schengen zone.
