Divorce always seem to be messy. Good thing the UK didnt leave NATO as well.

Both sides need to grow up, stop trying to gain advantage and settle for what is fair to both. Such common sense seems to be unavailable to either side.

Bojo never intended to adhere to any Brexit treaty. He is looking for any reason regardless of how thin, to abrogate. Ultimately UK will pay a very high price for their duplicity as only a fool would enter into any kind of an agreement with a nation as slippery and disreputable as the UK and the EU can impose punishing tariffs and travel restrictions on the UK.

Desert Tortoise,

This pandemic has wrecked unprecedented economic damage to all European countries, EU member states etc.
