Next year marks ten years since the referendum that led to Brexit... while many warn that re-opening those debates will merely give the Brexiters more ammunition to stoke up their Far Right campaigns around other issues, there is a certain logic given that after ten years we are such more aware of the costs & benefits (so-called) of leaving, that a second referendum would allow a better judging of the best options now available?

Brexit referendum’s 10th anniversary: time to think again?

Stati Uniti contro Europa: il caso del Digital Services Act
L’America non accetta che l’Europa stabilisca regole che possano ridurre i margini di profitto delle proprie aziende leader. E reagisce con strumenti che vanno oltre il dibattito giuridico: minacce di dazi, pressioni diplomatiche, ora addirittura restrizioni sui visti. È l’uso della leva politica e diplomatica per difendere interessi economici nazionali

Depressing to see reports not being acted on 😞
It seems to come down to shareholders wanting to see numbers on spreadsheets heading in certain directions.
Do the shareholders care how meaningful those numbers are? Or do they just want the numbers to keep heading that way regardless of how accurate they are?
The current system of corporations pandering to shareholders seems to be ever more disconnected from the real world.

Das Video zeigt eine nächtliche Szene in Berlin, Deutschland, bei der eine Gruppe von Radfahrern an einem Critical Mass-Event teilnimmt. Es beginnt mit einer Ansicht von zwei Radfahrern, einer von ihnen in einem auffälligen roten Reflektorenweste, die auf einem beleuchteten Kreuzungsweg warten. Die Textüberlagerung "Critical Mass Berlin 29.8.2025" gibt den Namen und das Datum des Events an. Die Umgebung ist dunkel, mit Straßenlaternen und Autoscheinwerfern, die die Szene beleuchten. Die Radfahrer warten auf den grünen Ampel, und als sie sich in Bewegung setzen, fahren sie in einer dichten Gruppe durch die Straßen, umgeben von anderen Radfahrern und Fahrzeugen. Die Szene ist belebt und dynamisch, mit vielen Radfahrern, die ihre Lichter anhaben, um die Sichtbarkeit zu erhöhen. Polizeifahrzeuge mit blauen Lichtern sind ebenfalls zu sehen, was auf eine gut organisierte Veranstaltung hinweist. Die Gruppe fährt durch die Straßen, und die Lichter der Radfahrer und der Autos schaffen ein lebhaftes und energiegeladenes Bild. Die Szene zeigt die Radfahrer in verschiedenen Positionen, einige im Vordergrund, andere im Hintergrund, und die Gruppe bewegt sich in einer organisierten Formation.

The video features a serene and heartwarming interaction between a light gray and white cat and a small, light brown hamster. The scene is set on a gray surface, possibly a table or countertop, with a dark-colored elevator door in the background, suggesting an indoor setting. The cat is lying down, attentively observing the hamster, which is nibbling on a piece of green lettuce. The cat's posture is relaxed, with its front paws gently resting on the surface, and it maintains a calm demeanor throughout the video.
As the video progresses, the cat's behavior becomes more affectionate. It begins to nuzzle and gently paw at the hamster, displaying a tender and caring interaction. The hamster remains calm and undisturbed by the cat's actions, continuing to nibble on the lettuce. The video captures the gentle and peaceful moment between the two animals, highlighting their bond and the cat's nurturing behavior.
The video concludes with the cat still lying down, gently nuzzling and pawing at the hamster, which remains calm and content. The piece of lettuce is still present on the surface, and the background remains consistent with the dark-colored elevator door. The overall atmosphere of the video is calm and affectionate, showcasing a touching moment of interspecies friendship.

There is a trend of lawlessness in the Netherlands where good laws are created, but the organizations enforcing them lack funds, manpower and the will to be effective... on purpose.
The story below is one of many: a piece of forest is illegally cleared and the enforcing organizations are condoning it, even when citizens ask for enforcement. Similarly many companies dump toxic waste with expired permits, polluting the environment.

The video takes place in a gym setting, featuring a tabby cat lying on the floor beneath a black exercise chair. The cat is seen in various states of relaxation, occasionally yawning and stretching, adding a touch of humor to the scene. The gym environment includes other equipment such as weight benches and dumbbells, with people visible in the background, some seated and others walking by. The cat's calm demeanor contrasts with the active gym atmosphere, creating a serene and amusing focal point. As the video progresses, the cat remains in the same position, with a person walking past in the background, adding a dynamic element to the otherwise tranquil scene. The consistent gym setting, with its dark rubber flooring and orange accent wall, provides a cohesive backdrop throughout the video.

I'm not sure I would, given everything that's happened since. We've hardly shown ourselves to be a stable and trustworthy country in line with broader European ideals.
If I were the EU, I'd stick up signs around the country like the MOD did with Gruinard Island.

I think the answer is they will have us back but on terms that wold be a very difficult sell in the UK... Or England at least.
As you rightly noted our subsequent political behaviour has done nothing to make a case to the EU members that we would be valuable returning member

Then to remove troublesome colonialists who literally have been a thorn in the European collective, Scotland,Wales and N Ireland can then be ruled by EU mandate from Dublin. ☘️🫶🏻

Indeed, this is the real problem; even if the EU Commission saw a good case for readmission, its far from clear the member Govt.s would (all) agree - certainly some would like the UK back, but by no means all
Filip
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •@chiffchaff @TimWardCam
Personally, I hope the reset happens as soon as possible. But I've read that, for now, there's no legal basis for this procedure and that specific, limited agreements are being worked on. In any case, I believe the legal formalization isn't impossible to draft and sign, and that Mr. Orban isn't enough to stop this potential popular will.

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •There's something pathological about how the major parties have repressed the great harm done by Brexit. They won't even mention the B-word if they can help it.
It's time to rip off the plaster, wave the wound in their faces, and make it hurt all over again. If Reform do bang on about its spurious benefits, then the other parties will be forced to take a position.
