As a patriotic Brit, I'm certainly not gloating. I don't want to see the UK disintegrating or rising up the global corruption league table or our exporters struggling. I hope the UK can overcome these issues by not ignoring them.
The EU has given the UK lots of extensions to get its act together over the admin needed for the island of Ireland. It's held many meetings with the UK. Not the actions of a body acting out of spite. But this has been advised before.

Brexit bonus has become a Brexit disaster, says company that supplies 10% of fish for our great chippies.
Maybe it's Norway acting out of spite and not helping us sort out the issues?
Will Rees-Mogg stand up in Parliament and tell the House that Norway's fish are happier due to Brexit as we can't catch them anymore?

Brexit: Anger over government's failure to get Norway fishing deal
Fishing crews have been "disastrously let down" by the government's failure to reach a deal with Norway, UK Fisheries chief executive has said.
UK fleets will not have access to Norway's sub-Arctic seas, following the breakdown of UK-Norway negotiations.
One trawler, which catches 10% of fish sold in chip shops, will be tied up for a year following the collapse in talks.
The government said it had offered a "fair deal" but the two sides were "too far apart" to agree a deal this year.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said fishing communities had been "betrayed by the prime minister".
The UK's departure from the EU means it is no longer part of the European Common Fisheries Policy and instead negotiates with Norway directly over fishing catches.

UK fishing industry furious over failure to strike Norway deal
Agriculture department faces backlash after collapse of talks to secure access to waters that are a key source of cod
Jane Sandell, the chief executive of UK Fisheries, which owns the super trawler Kirkella that catches around 10 per cent of all the fish sold in UK chip shops, said the failure to strike a deal was a “very black day for Britain” and a “national embarrassment”.
The company said it had invested approximately £180m over the past 20 years in the Humberside fishing industry, with further investment of up to £100m planned, and that the lack of a deal imperilled the livelihoods of approximately 100 crewmen employed in and around Hull, on England’s north-east coast.
“[Environment secretary] George Eustice owes our crews and the Humberside region an explanation as to why Defra was unable even to maintain the rights we have had to fish in Norwegian waters for decades, never mind land the boasts of a ‘Brexit Bonus’, which has turned to disaster,” she said in a statement.
