UK resident here. So very many of is voted for Brexit. If we don’t succumb to Garages bullshit (as a nation), please accept us back into Europe. Cameron, Johnson and all their cronies are finally getting called out by many of those who voted to leave.
My opinion on this is, that we should take the UK back. This being said, I think the UK should not be allowed to get any opt-outs from EU legislation as they had before (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_opt-outs_from_EU_legislation). If they want to become a member of the EU again, they should go full in.
Honestly, I don’t think any of those would be deal breakers today. Europe is now tougher on external migration (much more in line with the UK), the pound is no longer much more powerful than the euro, and the privacy legislation of both is equally concerning so no issues there beyond the normal.
We’d certainly prefer the stronger EU ruling against “pay or ok” under GDPR, and a lot of UK citizens would appreciate the greater mobility.
I would like to suggest that the EU also demand that Nigel Farage be formally charged for misleading the public, in a European court.

I think that’s fair. We cannot be a cat. Either go in or stay out. No sitting in the doorway demanding (ego) stroking.

But would the brittish give up the pound?
Yeah, that’s also my biggest question.
Why should they?
@0x0 @Valmond why *shouldn’t* we? I think all our opt-outs (especially £, Schengen) made us feel special and stopped us integrating properly.
'Cos you’ll lose financial sovereignty. Your call though…
