"My children will certainly see us back in again," he added.  "It will take quite a long time 10 to 20 years before we say, with our tail between our legs, 'Can we come back now?'"  The crossbench peer told the Sunday Times it was the "last great benefit" the UK had given to the group of 27 nations by putting off others who might be tempted to go  "It will ensure that no one will be as stupid as us again," he said.

"He was very far right, and we were worried about the paradox that we had very good criteria for testing whether a country could join do you have an open market, a free press, an independent judiciary? but once a country was in, it was possible to roll those back.  "We imagined a situation in which we withdrew a member's voting rights because of a move towards autocracy, and in a huff that leader stormed out, leaving a chaotic legal situation."

"The article says one should take account of the framework for the future relationship [in the divorce terms]. There wasn't a framework so they didn't."
