The Eu didn't commit to a single thing
The EU agreed that given this agreement there would be no requirement for a customs border.
The term "Vassal state" is incorrect as it describes a nation that has been subjugated to the will of another nation e.g. Ireland's relationship with the UK before the 20th century.
The EU is not a state, it is a "collection of states" and is the realisation of the need for greater alignment of policy between neighbouring countries.
The portrayal of the EU as some kind of evil controlling super-state is a lie, plain and simple.
That's not to say there isn't plenty of things wrong with the EU but the correct response is, as one of the major nations of Europe for the UK to get in there and make it work.
Instead the UK has repeatedly sent Farage.
- toyg 9y agoOh I do agree that the UK position has consistently been silly, all the way back from the very day they joined with their ad-hoc "rebate". I am not trying to portrait anything in an evil light, it's just as it is: UK voters, by their own free will, materially reduced their sovereignty in commercial matters. They put themselves (and us EU citizens in UK) into this situation, although it's not too late to forget the whole thing and go back being a peer.
