The Government is finally reversing their proposal


This is the document that appeared last night in the Telegraph which begins with the statement from Therese Coffey who is currently the deputy Prime Minister.

‘I don’t mind if they are coming from abroad’ as she battles to deal with long waiting lists. As a front-line politician, few experiences can be as frightening as beginning to lose the ability to form words. “It was quite an odd week,”

So perhaps the decision and the statements that were adopted back in 2016 following the EU referendum which was only marginally approved for us to move out from the EU will now begin to be reversed. I would certainly be delighted if the Government would be willing to reflect on what has happened over the last six years. For those of us who are not politically involved there is currently a petition that a chap called Oliver Romain set out in June which currently only has 6,743 signatures. However the proportion in Sussex is over 4%. It would be fantastic if more of us were willing to sign it. That would then potentially assist the Government to review its actions moving forward. The petition can be obtained from https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/616636 and the content is

Apply to Join the European Union (EU)

We want the Government to start the process of seeking to rejoin the EU. Only 2% of the public think that Brexit has gone ‘very well’ and only 15% ‘fairly well’ since the end of the transition period*.

We believe the majority of the British public no longer supports Brexit, in addition to Scotland and Northern Ireland voting against leaving the EU in the 2016 referendum. It’s time to put a stop to this disastrous experiment and seek to return to the EU as full members.
