    Jesus Fucking Christ. I know to expect the "it's the EU's fault we've made our quality of life objectively worse" line of thinking but it's already happening.

  • I think the problem is that our politicians genuinely don't seem to get that we are no longer a partner of the EU's, we're a third country trying to strike a trade deal. The EU no longer owes us friendship. We want access to their market and they will not grant it unless its in their interests.

    The fact that we keep framing it as 'bullying' is symptomatic of this failure to recognise our status as a supplicant.

    I think the Brexiters are belatedly realising that we really can't have our cake and eat it. Better late than never eh lads.

    ...what happened to they need use, more then we need them.
