First, I think I made a typo. I meant from the UK is in no position to dictate terms to the US in that statement. But it also applies to the EU.
The EU is playing you. They're job is to make sure Brexit doesn't go easily, to protect their institution from further exits. Which your shitshow has so admirably done. It's remarkable you still don't get their strategy. It's been to fetch the ball for the UK... only to watch them own-goal it. They have gotten out of the UK's way, but RELIED on the UK's political dysfunction to make the case against Brexit and future exits.
So they'll give you an extension. Money is on, you'll blow past that one too. And they'll give you one after that. You yourself were here saying there would be Hard Brexit some time ago. The first two deadlines. And now we're about to go past the third (I believe, I've lost track).
So that's where we are. Carry on. But don't think for a second the UK comes out of this looking good.
And for the record, I'm actually I'm watching Parliament on Youtube right now. I'm getting it straight form the source.

Let's just say, I'll take the US Congress and Senate any day of the week. The only respectable people in the room are the SNP.

It's my favorite part of the UK Parliament show. Where they debate minutiae in the middle of a Category 10 Shitstorm.
All we need now is a Dennis Skinner cameo so he can White Knight for all 5000 British miners still left.
