What I wonder is, what happened on the first day he arrived when he didn't have any clues? (This is the kind of episode btw where I can easily ignore problems with the plot and just enjoy it as a work of art)

I just rewatched Pandorica Opens/Big Bang. I like where you are going with this. Maybe some quantum mumbo jumbo can work. Conservation of quantum information (not even black holes can destroy information). "Nothing is ever truly forgotten".

It would still have fulfilled the terms of the referendum. Five years of Brexit disaster later, there are plenty of arguments to do exactly that. Even better to join the EU for the second time, if the UK can become an actual supporter of the European Project.

Of course I agree that you can be in the Single Market without being in the EU. I only made the technical point that that should have been negotiated after the Article 50 notification. It was clearly on the table (Barnier staircase).

Technically, that's what leaving the EU meant. But yes, it was very much politically on the menu (Barnier staircase).

But what happens if at the mutually agreed point the UK still doesn't satisfy the criteria for joining the Euro?

Also worth mentioning: Brexit has led to enormous pressure on the UK civil service. Pooling sovereignty works.

I saw on twitter how that situation developed from the start, it was really sad to see. Lots of mutual misunderstandings. Let me just say I believe you're all gooduns and I'll leave it at that ❤️

I have to disagree about Brexit Bin being purely transactional. I have followed them for a long time and they have lots of posts about the successes of European integration. Overly optimistic about rejoining imo, but (European) heart in the right place.

I didn't read it as Brussels but as "pro-EU purists in the UK who will accept nothing less than joining the EU".
