Dude!! Did you miss the reference to Monty Python in the New Yorker cover?! That's a callback to the "Ministry of Silly Walks" skit in Flying Circus. The cartoon even looks like John Cleese. On a serious note though... as you point out, the biggest problem for the UK rejoining is the loss of privileges they had when they were in the EU. Those were a consequence of the mindset of British exceptionalism. Brexit was an extension of that. Now, were the UK to rejoin, there is no way the EU would let them have the same privileges the UK used to have. Now, I wouldn't call those who voted for Brexit stupid. Instead, I would say 'uninformed' at best, and ignorant and lazy a worst. The problem was--as the post-Brexit polls showed when mostly English citizens realized what they were going to lose with Brexit--that they did not understand what Brexit REALLY meant. They let themselves be convinced to blame immigrants (mind-blowing, huh) or just be taken in by claims of the unique greatness of the UK. I don't see the UK back in the EU for a while, and that's a pity.
Bloody hope we do
5:28 "unanimous backing is likely"
No it is not. It would be almost impossible to achieve
Agree! As a french, nothing would please me more than my nation vetoing against the UK return. I'm having an orgasm just thinking about it...
@@Potato-dx5mc and it only takes 1 country out of 27 to veto.

What a shame, i think we did!
Well EU should've joined long ago since 2016
Uk in back to the 1970 it only a matter of time the pound will go into free fall, little Britain getting smaller,
if uk goes back to eu, i will be happy for pound to go and support eu policy's
