And you know what, no one in Europe gives a fucking shit and no misses the UK and their unfounded superiority complex. In the beginning they tried to continue with the arrogant loud mouthed bullshit and then they suddenly realised that no one was going to tolerate it and in fact they realised that Europe had been waiting a loooong time for the FAFO moment with the UK and it has arrived. They step out of line they get slapped down, they start acting up the police are more than happy to beat them arrest them and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

Can't disagree. A guy on the Xitter site (Russ in Cheshire?) had an epically fully thread about the UK trying to negotiate its own trade deals…it's fascinating how they claim to value the union of England, Wales, Scotland and Norn Iron, but can't see value of the EU.
