I think the rest of the world outside Eurolalaland will be forming a pretty negative impression of these people to be honest. They've been quite open about wanting to ensure that Brexit can't be a good thing for the UK (no matter what else happens) so they're clearly not interested in negotiating sensibly but fixated on making a political point. It's perfectly obvious which side is being intransigent and trying to lay down all the rules.
If the UK were to acquiesce in the face of what amounts to blackmail it will only send a message of weakness to those we're going to need to negotiate with when all this is over. May needs to be strong and call the EU's bluff just like Thatcher all those years ago.
