The Torygraph has published an insightfuk analysis the EU's intentions toward the UK. The paywall link is: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...aign=DM1403673

An extract (with my highlight in red) is pasted below.

The EU’s stupidity will spark a new Brexit war

Now that the trade deal has finally been ratified, Britain is free to start the fightback against Brussels

..... There was the outrageous threat by Brussels to confiscate contracted vaccine shipments to the UK, the despicable, counterproductive demonisation of AstraZeneca, the ban on the exports of shellfish, the threats to disrupt the City and, of course, the intransigent, tone-deaf approach to Northern Ireland. Frustratingly, the Government’s only real action to date has been to unilaterally extend grace periods on Irish Sea border checks, a palliative move insufficient to avoid a full-scale crisis in the province. ....

.... Many Eurosceptics hoped Brexit would usher in a new era of friendly cooperation with Europe. We would no longer be seeking to block federalising treaties, or arguing about money, so tensions ought to have been removed. Yet this has already proved hopelessly utopian. The ideologues in Brussels don’t do friendship: you are either under their control, or their rivals, to be undermined pitilessly.

Britain should never be petty, but it is now time for the Government to fight just as ruthlessly for our own national interest.

I challenge the Remainers in this thread to defend the EU and to answer this question: In hindsight, would you have wished to remain in the EU know what a nasty lot the leadership is?
