Erm yes.
The EEC referendum was not about joining, we were already in and had been for a couple of years.

From being the sick man of Europe, through greater freedom of trade and competition that EU membership has contributed to, we have become one of the top European countries again. It's been a tough process but we got there.
The challenge is to retain this success post-Brexit and ensure that new technologies like electric cars are designed and made here in the UK and we don't become a side show to the rest of Europe.

No, but he thinks the UK should be the one to bend over backwards because we exercised our democratic right to leave the EU, while the EU doesn't need to do anything, AKA, sweet FA.

We joined the 1st of January 1973, and the 3 day week came into force at Midnight 31st December 1973, so it wasn’t a couple of years...

The 3 day week was brought about by the then Corbynite equivalent; Scargill & McGachy who prevented electricity from being generated. This sort of thing rattled on for years until Thatcher squashed it.

They government has come up with several amicable solutions, but the EU is not listening. It is quite good at the art of 'non'!
Given that ee have come up with proposals and the EU are just standing there with arms folded, I really don't see how you can blame this on the government.
David Cameron came up with some very modest proposals and was rebuffed. The EU is just intransigent and doesn't have a democratic bone in its body of officials. I don't see why you want to defend them and place all the blame on May.
You still haven't told us what you would do in her place.
