And? Do you want an itemised list of all the things we've pulled over the past few years? Or does it not matter when we're being petty (or more often, straight-up incompetent)?And yet there was this paragraph which shows (further) just how petty and vindictive the EU has been.
The EU can change certain elements of the UK deal immediately, if it wants better ties. It has denied the UK mutual recognition for conformity assessment on products – the barebones courtesy offered to Canada and Australia. It has refused to reciprocate even on financial equivalence (itself very limited), withholding the cooperation accorded to New York or Singapore in areas such as derivatives. It offered China’s Communists better terms on financial services.
Your opinions on Brexit are irrelevant here. Whatever you can pull from the Telegraph similarly so. My opinions on Brexit are also irrelevant here. This started because you provided a professor's statement, and I criticised the implicit bias in said statement. I'm a big fan of trusting experts generally, but in general I remember a big push around Brexit not to. So I feel it's entirely fair for me to have very high standards when pro-Brexit posters like yourself provide expert opinion. He doesn't make the cut, sorry.
