As long as we continue to stick to their rules, and continue to subsidise them, they are happy.
Thank goodness we're leaving then.
For me the behaviour of those that represent the EU simply reinforces my decision to vote to leave.
All this brouhaha about Ireland is designed purely to throw a spanner in the works.
If there is goodwill on both sides, then all those problems can be solved at a stroke - and don't even try to tell me differently.
The EU don't want us to have a deal when we leave which will then serve as a lesson to those EU countries who are dissatisfied with the dictatorship the EU is fast becoming.
