As a EU citizen, I agree with your assessment completely. The EU bungled this and it would not be fair if we were to bully our way out of it. It's sad to see this being a zero sum game, and no way you cut it people are going to suffer (already are) somewhere. I was expecting a bit more decency on our side. Shattered superiority complex after Brits mismanaged Brexit, maybe? Our lack of coordination and flailing in this regard is equally impressive.
