Sign up here.

Crazy thought, if the % of the population who sign up beats that of the % of the population who voted 'Leave', the UK should automatically rejoin!

Seems to be a new grassroots campaign Jane - twitter.com/StayEuropean

I firmly believe my grandchildren's generation will be asking to re-join in 15 - 20 years. Nezumi65 hopefully less.

Yes Jane I think we are being asked to buy a pig in a poke. 'We are a group of people who.......' is not enough to tempt me to sign, especially when it hints at extracting money from signees confused

Yes that was what made me suspicious Granny23.
Thanks for the link nezumi. I think they need a ‘big name’ to promote this and give it some gravitas.

Ginny42 I’m sorry but I really don’t understand the point you are making.

You say you have family living in Europe who obviously you will want to visit, but you will STILL be able to!

We have only left an organisation called the European Union. Apart from possibly a slightly longer delay at Customs, travel to and from European countries for holidays will be the same.

Nothing will stop me from visiting family on mainland Europe.

Of course I know I can visit. I've been doing it for over 25 years. I mean going to live with or near them as I head towards 80 years old and it will now be very difficult. DD is my only child and I have two sisters. That's my family.
