You cannot. And now you have no say in any such because you are no longer a member.

Brussels does not care what lies your press invents. Do you know how bad it is in Britain? The EU had to create the EUmyths website to counter the absurd crap the UK press invented out of whole cloth. Most of what you think the EU is imposing is imaginary. A flight of fancy. Ironically, by leaving, you will have to conform to those same regulations while having given up any say in those regulations.

Even India, once the jewel of the crown, wants nothing to do with Britain. In no small part because you hate brown people and want them orf ur land. Good luck with that.

I will assume that you realise people can change their minds. I will assume that you realise that the choice presented was a fantasy.
The Brexiteers promised 350 million a week extra for the NHS. Still buying that lie? Really?
Name them? Common Agricultural policy, Common Fisheries Policy, Common Currency, EU Army, Federalisation, VAT, Trade Tariffs, Fiscal penalties for infringement of EU regs undermining the justice system, weren't you paying attention at any point in the last three decades?
Who sited the British press? You have only to look at the European press or the EU's own publications. Don't blame us for your own ignorance.
And then you prove you haven't a clue as to why Britain voted to leave and is prepared to leave on WTO terms. Your threats are empty, as is the claim that the EU was supposed to promote friendship between the nations, which is the true tragedy of the whole saga.
You claim racism without evidence, to cover your ignorance.
As I said it wasn't worth listening to the domestic politicians, it was about Brussels. It was Junker, Merkel, and Macron who have ensured that Britain leaves.
