I think the point is not the EU having similar problems than the UK but leaving the EU in these circumstances hasn't made any difference other than losing the benefits of our membership of the customs union, while the current economic climate means new trade deals are harder to negotiate and not as beneficial to the UK.Who's blubbing? I find it interesting that all is not sweetness and light in EU land and it looks like some of the inhabitants are just waking up to how they are being controlled by those in charge.
