This is looking more and more like any ordinary divorce, where sense flies out the window as soon
as seperation is a fait a complis.  The EU is acting the victim, the hurt part and is worried of other
member states imitating the UK should the settlement be too generous.  EU feels hard done by and
wronged and pretends that a UK outside of the EU fold is of no consequence for them.  That this
shall be only a one sided win and it will be for them.  But the fact is that the EU really is starting to
look like a slowly (or quickly) sinking ship.  Where is the harmony in this group?  There isn't any.
Since its start the member countries have not been able to agree on anything.  No wonder the
Germans, the French, the Belgians are acting like  wounded prey.  
The UK will be alright.  The EU will probably suffer worse in the end.  Even the internal politics in
the member states are fraught with huge problems.
