So complain as much as you like, brexit is done and won't be changing.

The UK would have to reapply and there is no precedent for rejoining so no historic pre-conditions.
UK would have to change currency to the euro and no party is going to agree to that. This is a fairly new condition and Denmark hasn't done so due to the same opt out UK had which will not exist in the future.
There would be no rebate on the contributions.
There are several EU countries that would veto UK application and it needs to be unanimous.
The EU also requires proof that citizens wish to join the EU and would require a 60 to 65% agreement for about 3 years before even allowing the application. Doubt if that'll happen.
Maybe in 20 or 30 years time but who knows how the world will change. I'll be long gone by then.

There are several statements here that have merit but, 49 years ago the UK joined Europe and from that moment a campaign to leave started. Their patience, coupled with mistruths and a manipulation of the the media prevailed 43 later. It’s never too soon to start the joining process once again. Perhaps by then the UK populace May proved itself trustworthy, grateful and reliable. Foreign perception of us is that, with this leadership, we really are a despicable bunch

When did the Guardian become highly reputable? Must be a very recent development!

Typical "shoot the messenger" response to an interesting and insightful article.
