Sorry, Helmut, but while I may not agree with Filip's choice of language I certainly agree with its sentiments. Confiscating lunch sandwiches from lorry drivers entering Europe because they contain ham? Both sides need to be more grown-up and sort out the mess that Brexit has caused, but Brussels is definitely in a huff because Britain dared to leave their club, and behaving accordingly. The European Union loves bureaucracy, and NI is an example of how, in spite of common sense dictating that it is not all necessary, they insist on its enforcement regardless of the consequences.
