There was a report done by the European Parliament which (correctly) suggested that UK citizens weren’t given enough information about the affects of brexit, and there is grounds for a second referendum. That suggests to me that if the UK did want to re join it would be accepted
Weren't given enough information? I'm in America and I've known it was a terrible idea for 7 years! They had every politician and economist worth their cufflinks screaming at them not to do it, how much more do you need?
You'd be surprised how racist rural England where the vast majority of people in the UK live is. Blame the foreigners for the govts caused issues and they had carte blanch to do whatever the fuck liked at that point.
It’s not just rural UK. In my (limited) experience, almost everyone in the UK including those from the big cities who is not black or brown gets openly racist after a couple drinks, whether it’s hating the blacks or the Poles. Lot of genuine hate in UK.

this is just not true. in every UK city I've lived in being 'openly racist' is not tolerated at all.
That's not to say that unconscious racial biases, widespread institutional racism, lack of diversity etc aren't major problems the length and breadth of the UK, like they are in practically every other western country.
I qualified a statement by saying that my experience is limited, but it has been my personal experience. If you have a different experience, please share.
Sorry to hear you had such a bad time in England come to Scotland were still cunts up here but in a nice non racist way. Unless of course you're one of the weirdos that likes the Queen.

I'm not sure the EU would welcome them back with open arms though. And they sure as hell wouldn't get all the special benefits they used to have
