There you have it. The relationship, if we stayed in, would need to be adversarial because the EU needs reform for all the reasons I've given before; German hegemony; French protectionism (CAP); ever closer union - to name three. We've tired for many years to be constructive and those charlatans, for example, turned the WTD debate from a veto-able topic into a majority vote topic by re-introducing it as a Health & Safety measure - at French protectionist instigation.

Indeed, the need those picador sticks sticking right where the sun don't shine, that's how arrogant the EU ruling class have become.

As for that perfidious Varadka, I hope he pays the price for his perfidy when we leave the EU and his farmers face the consequences of EU intransigence to protect their 'theological' dedication.
