It's a negotiation, people. Relax. Both sides are following age old principles of negotiation, such as Best Alternative. It's absolutely right that the government uses every card they have, because the EU will.Â
Or, having complained that Theresa May capitulated to too many demands, is the complaint that Boris isn't capitulating to enough demands? This is 3 little bears...
As I've said before, this will sort itself out because it has to, there is no other economic choice for either side. I for one am quite happy that the UK is using every option and tactic in the bag.
As for comparing it to a jewellery theft et al, it's worth noting that countries break international law all the time. It's not as big a deal as you may think. Here's an example from this year where Germany broke the law and refused to submit to the European Court of Justice. The topic is dry but it's an interesting read:
However the uniquely British style of self-flagellation to the point of self-detriment continues. Having complained about negotiating tactics and the possibility of a technical breach of law (not happened yet, and we're not talking state sponsored murder in a banana republic here), no doubt the next complaint will be "now that you did what we demanded, why did you achieve such a poor deal"...
What seems particularly odd with the latest negotiation bust up is that Boris signed the agreement he is now seeking to break. Clearly the legal experts behind the agreement messed up big time somewhere along the line.
Even for an MP, Priti Patel comes across as particularly arrogant.

Negotiating 101, quite clearly.
"go to Swansea, it's 30 miles from you "Â
By air, yes, by road it's nearer 200.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
That is a truly terrifying thought. Few men make Boris seem totally normal and competent but that pair do.
