Poor Brexitists. 1st EU didn't collapse. Then EU didn't beg for sweet prosecco deal. Now virus hasn't "strengthened UK hand". So time for full-scale "blame evil EU for no deal disaster". Even though UK unilaterally rejected agreed negotiating terms & rules out more time for talks
What a refined level of hypocrisy, for Brexitists to denounce EU as "ideological", given their own extraordinary detachment from objective reality. The same sort that promises Parliament must be "at heart" of EU trade talks - until Johnson wins election, then promise is scrapped
& as for UK announcing that it plans to publish negotiating documents with EU, in exact same week as Government is reported to have promised Trump it would keep all his talks top secret... Only thing more laughable=how stubbornly Brexiters cling to their farce of "Global Britain"
Maybe best: avoid cringy spectacle of EU concluding deal only after Member States/EuroParliament/likely national parliaments approve while UK Government does as it pleases & Westminster as well as devolved parliaments basically just watch. Remind me again... who's "undemocratic"?
