That position is illogical. It cannot be right that as a sovereign country we should be subject to the laws of another legal entity - and in in shambles mode at that.
Why do these people in this thread rest part of their case on "the EU is only protecting its own position" without acknowledging that it is right for the UK to do the same?
Why do these people in this thread not criticise the EU for its bullying stance (".. we are bigger than the UK")?
The nation has voted for Brexit under our voting rules and that should be respected.

If I go along to my bank and ask them for loan of a quarter of a million pounds at a 0.1% interest rate and HSBC bank laugh me out of town do I get to write to trading standards and call them bullies?
No. They’re bigger than me and frankly it’s not worth their while engaging with me on such a preposterous basis. I’m not the biggest fan of uncontrolled and unregulated capitalism (as everyone on the forum knows) but I fail to see why some cry “foul” at capitalism in action.
We did vote for Brexit as is our sovereign right to do so. But nobody owes us a single dime as a result. We chose to carve out our own path. If that’s too challenging then that’s an entirely expected outcome of entering negotiations with an observably unrealistic set of objectives.
