While I wish the UK would just rejoin the EU outright, I don't see the EU allowing the UK to retain the Pound, and I can see the jingoists making much of joining the Euro. (Also there are acknowledged structural problems with the Euro that need to be addressed).
But a Norway style association would be brilliant. I'd settle for that for now.
@Remittancegirl The EU would demand a commitment to adopt the Euro. But for how that's treated, just look at the Zloty—20+ years after Polish accession and the Zloty is still in use there. Ever since the Greek crisis, the EU has been remarkably lackadaisical about specifying a timeline for convergence.
Looter Lord Elgin presented an Italian "translation" of a fictional Ottoman firman, the original of which no one ever saw or had otherwise knowledge of, then ripped off the #ParthenonSculptures, sawing some in his haste, and moved them to England, where they were scraped clean of the ancient colors that still remained on the marbles.
Turkiye's statement that they "are not aware of any document that legitimizes that «purchase» done by coloni[al] #UK back at that time"
The temple was first destroyed by Theodosius' bigoted Christians in the 4th c CE, then by Venusian Francesco Morosini in the 17th c, who described his vandalism as "a fortunate shot" and went on smashing sculptures from the pediment in his attempt to loot the Acropolis, and then in the early 19th c by Lord Elgin, who stole about half of the sculptures that had survived 2000 years on the Sacred Rock.
Please remember in the #uk you are a subject and not a citizen. While the Royal Family is largely harmless, the #conservatives and #farage are not. They still implement that mindset.
@GottaLaff I hope no one gets complacent over poll results. Folk still need to vote like their vote will be the one to make a difference. Polls like this can be dangerous to outcomes.

part 1 here
gauging the mood of a nation by its broadcasts 2:
Where did empathy go?
The Revolution will be Televised (first broadcast August 2012)
Two young men use hidden camera work to turn the spotlight on corporate greed and corruption.
Benefits Street (first broadcast January 2014)
entire streets content to be dole scroungers, not even looking for work.
In 2008 investment bankers Lehman Brothers collapsed, the fallout caused the 2010 banking crash and the UK government stepped in to pay bailouts to several financial institutions, a debt every inhabitant of the Uk, adult and child, still owes.
The media narrative moved from people being angry at banking bailouts and banker bonuses, to the chronically unemployed and from thence to the chronically disabled.
Et la découverte Stoner du soir (qui devrait plaire à @brunus ) :
