I wonder how the EU thinks about this. There are clearly good sides. The UK is still a big and powerfull country, nobody wants Irish or Scottish political instability, and it's a great morale booster to have a leaver come back. But the UK had plenty of dark sides. They always wanted an exception for everything, with the pound not being an euro the famous example. The UK firmly pushed the EU in the 'economic union' di…

My intuition is 'yes, of course, but you don't get the opt-outs back'. So no budget rebate, Euro participation etc. Which would be a tougher sell in Britain than otherwise.

We already did that a while ago.

Apart from pints in the pub, and road distances. Everything else is metric.

Declining the cookies leads to a rick roll. A bit silly for a serious political movement...

Not to mention, not compliant with the GDPR, which is (in addition to have been enacted as UK law) originally a European regulation.

If you're going to rickroll people who decline data processing consent, may as well just not ask for it - neither option is compliant.
