• Guess we’ll see more spiteful tit for tat on both sides until Europe descends until ww3

  • This idea that the EU are being spiteful is just another line in the 'EU are terrible, lucky to be free' spiel being spread by leavers, UK government, press etc and it's absolute rubbish.

    EU city of culture criteria is for EU members, EEA members or those on the path to join the EU. Hence Istanbul + Bergen winning in the past.

    Once the UK leaves, we are no longer eligible. End of.

    People need to see that there are actual consequences to leaving the EU, that are brought about solely by the decision to leave, rather than the EU being spiteful and mean.

  • This. Nothing strange about it.

  • It’s a completely cynical move from EC to bar uk applications now. Any reading that they are just following due process is naive. We’re still full EU members until we actually leave and who knows what will happen before then.
