The EU is ultimately terrified of Britain leaving “the project” but I think their manipulative/nefarious tactics may backfire, as they only serve to anger the leavers and also convert remainers to leavers.
The UK needs to get over itself. The UK leaving is a problem but one of our own making. From Sweden to Greece EU countries really have more important shit to be dealing with. They have always been quite clear on what they considered important. We have never once put forward a workable plan.
If we had dead children washed up on our beaches, then maybe we would realise there really are bigger issues in the World.
