IMO your wording doesn’t quite capture it. Lots of us *want* to rejoin, though we understand it can’t, and won’t, happen soon. Lots of us are resentful, even bitter, towards those who did this to us, though not towards the EU.

Perhaps you misread me: I’m talking about the attitude of non-British EU officials in that post. Of course people in the UK are resentful and bitter - the remaining Brits in the EU institutions too - I’m one of them!
