UK and EU in row over bloc's diplomatic status

This is pettiness of a new dimension, a kind of childish tit-for-tat as post-Brexit chaos caused by years of lies and incompetence come crashing down all around the UK and its businesses. Blaming Europe for blind stupidity and political chicanery is like a rebellious teenager who insisted on leaving home to assert his independence, then turning round and blaming his parents because he hadn't done any real thinking about what independence means and couldn't cope on his own. I think things will continue to get worse for at least another year, as more businesses go bust or leave the UK to set up in the EU, disruption of supplies (food, clothes, hardware, car parts etc) becomes acute due to unfathomable bureaucracy, consumer costs rocket, and more households experience real hardship, due to government's lack of planning and inability to get their act together. Bring on the new indie refs in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
