Re: Why are they being so churlish? Simple. With the EU it's all about them. They don't give a stuff about you, me or the hundreds of millions of other EU citizens. They will be losing circa £10 billion per year from their budget. This may affect the ability of their Gravy Train staying on the tracks. Less money for dodgy schemes, expenses, fat pensions etc, etc.
Looking at history the last time Europe gave us grief it was a thousand Lancaster's by night and a thousand B-17's by day that gave them an attitude adjustment.
Makes you wonder why we, and the U.S ever bothered keeping the Russians at bay for 45 years. Without the combined might of the English speaking members of NATO, Europe would be very vulnerable. Perhaps they need reminding of that.
