The EU is not keen on leaving evidence lying about.

 

So your accusations are baseless then.

As we have seen, the delivery of the letter is a simple process. But after that? far from it.

 

And whose fault was that?

 

The UK seemed to think that it could have all the benefits of the Single Market and Customs Union without any of the obligations and responsibilities associated with it. When the EU, unsurprisingly, said that such 'cherry picking' wasn't acceptable, the UK was at a total loss regarding what its' next step should be.

Disappointing.

 

I'd never previously thought of you as a member of the 'Mindless Ranter' brigade. 

 

Not a rant. Just my long-held opinion.

I'm really sick of seeing that much overused word.

The EU rules w.r.t qualification for the single market and CU are plain enough, so I do not agree that the whole of the UK thought that. The UK "leaders" should have been able to work that out - I think that Cameron did and he even declared as much - but he just jumped ship when he saw the Brussels iceberg looming large, once the referendum result was out.
