Bringing up the war is a British favourite. The only country in Europe constantly banging on about it. Funny they never mention the Empire when they were exploiting other countries and killing people or slavery trade.

That’s already arrived from some time back imo.
The ONLY part the EU are currently interested in (worried about) where the UK could ever be involved is defence.
That, I feel, is the only table the EU are willing to sit and talk at. But not at the cost of what the EU is. The UK is still confused.

I must say I’ve been watching David become more and more British exceptionalist lately. Unwilling to acknowledge that Britain is the supplicant, that it is not a country to be trusted, and that the EU doesn’t need us more than we need them.

The UK still hasn’t adjusted to negotiating with a rules-based bloc rather than a transactional state. It left the room where the rules are written, yet insists they bend for its convenience. That isn’t sovereignty: it’s self-inflicted irrelevance.

This is not a serious response from David.
And it's not borne out by the evidence.
If UKdoens't like international trade talks, it shouldn't have Brexited.
And having Brexited, it needs to start accepting that its terms will not be orders of magnitude different to others

Alternate view - the pitiable irrelevant Brits should be honoured to be bullied by the glorious infallible greatness that is the EU. The EU doesn't need anything, put up the walls and everything will be great! bsky.app/profile/nial...
I'm particularly disappointed in @davidheniguk.bsky.social for falling into the easy tropes of "bullying Brussels" and the "dastardly French"
The frustration is that Europe won't give UKG what it wants
Let's acknowledge that the problem lies with the UKG and its redlines, not M et Mme Dupont

European countries have got the message loud and clear.
Except one? While the UK is taking on our law, particularly as regard the north of Ireland, it is still treating shared standards as a burden for which it exceptionally needs exceptions.

As @carolinedegruyter.bsky.social makes clear, Europe is not only the most dependable and honourable big power on the world stage, it is also an oasis of democracy and free trade is a world spinning out of control.
Small countries volunteer to take on European law for that reason.

This article is an antidote to the all too common trope in the UK among Brexiters and exceptionalists that Europe is somehow a "global bully" (while simultaneously being too weak and unable to rein in emotional France and vengeful Germany. Or something)

PARTICULARLY those that were most subsidised directly by the EU voted with a majority for Brexit like areas in middle England, the coastal fishing ports and particularly areas in the South-West and Wales.
They were lied to, for sure! But we were all lied to and it wasn't a blanket vote.

Had the UK (or any sole nation for that matter) been in charge of those funds, we KNOW it wouldn't have been distributed like the EU were (and are, just not in the UK anymore obviously) doing it to depraved and in need of funds areas.
