140 billion... so far!

Live together or die alone, humanity. We've really been favoring the latter.

No but you don't understand, our passports are blue now.

Don't worry our British brothers, we'll happily welcome you back! And even more happily we'll watch when you have to agree for € to replace £ because you have exceptions no more.

How much of that 140B would the people that voted for brexit have seen?

Can London, as in the city of, leave the UK to join the EU?

And perhaps Scotland, N. Ireland, and Wales as well?

I'm all for London leaving the UK! Seriously though, Wales voted quite heavily to leave the EU, but theoretically any region could get enough support to try and force a referendum to leave the UK and then be free to try and join the EU, any new nation applying has to meet the requirements for economy, human rights, democracy and law and be able to meet all the other obligations of an EU member state.
