Ooh hark at the Brexiter bully.
It's more likely you'll be unemployed post Brexit than him.
If they demonstrate some then fine. They haven't of course its just the EU being petty.
Bully
1.
a person who uses strength or influence to harm or intimidate those who are weaker.
"he is a ranting, domineering bully"
synonyms: persecutor, oppressor, tyrant, tormentor, browbeater, intimidator, coercer, subjugator; More
verb
1.
use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force them to do something.
"a local man was bullied into helping them"
I have no power or influence over him so I can't be a Bully but as the head of the UK space he let his personal feelings overcome his judgement. Should we keep him in post? If he had said something equivalent revealing a Brexit preference I am sure you bremoaners would be baying for his head.

................Eh no you had a referendum and were misinformed by your government and leaders to vote out of the "enemy" EU. Now reap the consequences, alas it is not the Utopia you had been promised instead its an economic and political catastrophe.

An industry I work closely in. Rolls Royce aerospace in Berlin, huge site. Perhaps larger than Derby.
The stupidity of brexit is just beginning to unfold. It was never possible for the public to consider important business connections the UK and EU share when crammed into a 6-month jingoistic Tory fuelled campaign.

Instead he nailed his colours to the mast that he was a NoBrainer. Expect him to be looking for a new job soon.

Originally posted by vetran View Postcutting off the membership benefits before we stop paying our subs is unreasonable & petty. As is refusing to deal with EU citizens rights before they extort money to pay for the MEPs pensions. YMMV.

This is the lie that leavers were told, and they fell for, and they are still falling for it; that we can leave the EU are still have access to everything we had before but for no cost (actually for £350m per week saving). It's a lie guys so suck up the fact that the 27 EU countries are going to make you (us) pay for the lies and ignorance.
Well done, you won, now stop whinging and live with the negative consequences of your decision.

Other Brexiteers have retreated to their safe space on being exposed to facts, maybe you should too.

Its a negotiation muppet, however what they are doing is unreasonable and petty as usual for your friends in the EU. I can see why you get along.
