Really? So that must mean all the bluster from the EU about what the UK can have and what it can't is all incompetence then? Was Obama incompetent when he told the UK it'd go to the back of the queue? Tough negotiations often start with seemingly unreasonable positions being stated and then compromised on until the solution is found then it's back to 'normal' service...
