And sure it’s the plucky underdog honest to a fault brits fighting the big bad overlord EU , that always plays well with the Daily Mail readers.

Of course round here “‘Perfidious Albion “ is a more common viewpoint

The newspaper has nothing to do with the factual report of the EU's move on Gibraltar.. it was just the first one on the Google list..
Quit with the racism..

You can’t be racist against a country. All my family are English !! Personally I love you to pieces Bostman and you live in the EU ( sensible chap )

The EU has no axe to grind with the U.K. nobody cares in Europe about Brexit anymore

Most of what’s reported in the English media is presenting a biased and entirely political perspective to a domestic audience

Confirmation bias means the U.K. must keep up the illusion the whole thing was a good idea even if Dominic Cummings admitted he doesn’t know if it is. !!!

The U.K. signed an accord with the Eu to implement freedom of movement in gib by admitting gib into Schengen ( a move the Eu doesn’t need to do , its soley to help gib residents )

The U.K. signed in good faith a comprehensive agreement in NI. An agreement Frost admitted they didn’t get right ( well that’s just hard cheese )

Beds and the lying in them come to mind

It’s like calls for changes for Brits to stay longer in Schengen , the arrogance is breathtaking , you leave the club then start shouting the club should change its rules just for you.

It was a joke in reference to the oft quoted 'Perfidious Albion'..
I am aware of political spin in newspapers.. the Express and Guardian can cover the same story and come up with opposing conclusions and Portuguese TV news is constantly saying what tossers us Brits are.. till they want tourist revenue..
As for Brexit.. you have to remember the population is one thing.. for people like Merkel, Macron, Barnier, VdL and Verhofstadt it's an unforgivable transgression.

The EU simply wants the U.K. to acknowledge that it will not change Its rules to suit the U.K.

If Gib wants to be a third country , the Eu will happily oblige and treat it so. The proposal is for the benefit of the gib residents not the eu

Similarly in NI the purpose is to allow NI continue to trade with the Republic so that in particular their agriculture industry isn’t devastated. Again it’s of no advantage to the EU generally

All these protocols are to address the locals who are not in the EU

Biting the hand that feeds u comes to mind.

No one is interested in Brit tourist boaty , the Russians are spending 10x. Greece has completely Re targeted its focus.

Few brits around anyway so they arnt spending anyway

Brit tourist money won’t move the EU one iota

Anyway 90 days is more then enough for a 2 week stay on the costas. What’s the issue. Yachties don’t count

Brits will come to the EU , do the “ package “ thing and go home. Whatever money they spend they will spend.

I see no issues.

I think my posts on this subject are not unclear . My view on the actions of the U.K. recently is not in any doubt.

If you say so.. though the Algarve and Costas tell a different story with Spanish and Portuguese ministers appearing on TV to plead with the Brit holidaymakers to return.
As for the Greeks...
"Greece is Europe. Europe is Greece."
Those were the words of Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission (EC), as he reaffirmed his commitment to keeping Greece as a part of the EU. This was a surprising statement because the calls for Greece to leave the euro are growing ever louder from some factions of Europe, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel and finance minister Wolfgang Schauble are openly hostile to the country's presence in the euro.

That's the spirit..

UK did well to leave the false EU bureaucrats. Very brave! At some point the Continent likely will be hunted by the consequences of some ill-adviced decisions, especially in Germany. Even the weather already expressed it... flood prevention neglected, money wasted for hubris, let's blame the climate. .

You are gone , outside , away , goodbye.

Please stop whinging , it was bad enough having to put up with the whinging when you were members.

Get over it. Lie in the bed. Stop blaming Europe for your own mess. No the EU isn’t going away or falling apart. I think the only union falling apart is much closer to home

It’s this nonsense “ false bureaucrats “ daily Mail nonsense that’s boils my blood.

Boatie lives in the EU anyway

There was never ever any serious call for Greece to exit the euro. It simply would not have been entertained

Brit media loves to play up the differences because it all boils down to confirmation bias. Or the thing the U.K. collectively might realise it made a bit of a mistake.

Well sort ourselves. You do likewise. We will all get along famously then

Well said, and I think this is why given a few years, the spat will wind down. Once these "leaders" are gone, new leaders who weren't party to the threats and grand standing will be in place and they won't lose face by reaching solutions.

A cornered animal is dangerous and they see their grand experiment as very much in danger if the UK can leave and not be decimated in the process. Multiple countries have been watching very closely to see how the UK does. Corona has provided the EU a bit of a breather keeping people distracted.

At least the days of monarchs staying in power for decades are largely over.
