God yes please. And can we boot Farage off the island when it happens.
Can I ask why you want to rejoin?
Scotland never wanted to leave in the first place. I believe there's strength in sticking with the other EU members (esp as I currently live in the US and feel the differences between US legislation and EU legislation most days e.g. right to repair) and I believe a lot of what people were sold on (particularly farmers and fishermen) to vote leave was inaccurate.
What do you mean, "strength"?
Looking at this and your other comments I think they just don't want to engage with the sealion
I don't understand what you mean.
Whether or not you're intending to do this your comments do come off a little bit like that. I don't really like the term that much as people often use it to dismiss any further discussion, but it could be why the other commenters don't want to chat.
LOL damned if you do, damned if you don't. If one doesn't understand what another person means, there's no way to gain understanding except to ask them. That people interpret genuine attempts to enter into dialogue as feigning ignorance shows, to me at least, the astonishingly low level of average communication ability.
Communication can be too difficult for some.
Well the other thing is that it's very difficult to instantly tell from a pseudonymous internet comment whether the writer is a normal person up for a civilised discussion or a troll just looking to wind people up. And no offence, but you sounded pretty pro-brexit so not unreasonable to suspect you were a troll!
