The public and the media love wars. It gives everyone a chance to indulge in some rose-tinted / misty-eyed jingoism. The EU have been wholly transparent in their position and approach all along (as David Allen Green's blog posts from last week neatly summarised), so this current outrage is to some extent being manufactured (hello Lynton & Messina) to shape Theresa May's public profile. If this hadn't happened we would probably have had to go to war with Spain over Gibraltar.
May goes fully loco, accuses unnamed European politicians and officials of interfering with the UK election.
How can people not see her for what she is? I've never been so contemptuous of a PM, she is utterly incompetent.
