A near-year-long row about the UK’s refusal to grant full diplomatic status of the EU mission to the UK has worsened, with the leak of letters showing the EU foreign affairs chief warning he had serious concerns about the status being given to EU officials in the UK.
The U.K. is just applying the rules. You know the same rules that see lorry drivers searched for sandwiches and fish consignments turned away for the slightest mistake or using wrong colour pen. This sort of petty vindictiveness can work both ways.
Odd, given that the UK is also a union. Perhaps the EU should only give diplomatic status to representatives from Wales, Scotland, England and NI?
Not surprised. Arrogance & pettiness all the way. Good riddance ! The EU sis better without the UK.
Ein weiterer Tiefpunkt der Johnson-Regierung. Provozieren anstatt gute Nachbarschaft. Kein guter Start für die post Brexit UK-EU-Beziehungen...
Do you mean England and Wales?
Seriously?
Boomers are ruining the UK. They started with unfortunate Brexit. Soon, and in some ways, I hope it’ll be Scotlandless.
Boris hates EU but making a fool of UK we need EU help now deliveries of food and goods in and out chaos and its your fault 100% Boris sort it or go
Perfectly in order. The Eu is not a sovereign state and never will be. Trust the Grauniad, they never want to accept reality so they keep perpetuating the myth.
Good.
“EU insists it will not grant UK ambassador full diplomatic status” take that, not so tough now, mohahaha...
Good
Or at least confiscate their ham and cheese sandwiches......🥴🙈👍
Why the bloody hostility? We asked to bloody leave for god sake 😡😡😡
OK, we will now consider official ambassadors of the Celtic independent nations Alba, Tuaisceart Éireann, Kernow & Cymru in the EU nations. Let's destroy the UK ;).
EU isn’t a country. Don’t all EU countries have ambassadors here?
Hopefully the EU will withdraw him and then insist any meetings he would be expected to attend are held in Brussels. BrexitCarnage
haha this is brilliant. eu acts like a superstate but tis substate in diplomatic terms.
Pathetic...can't manage a crisis but great at self destruction
This is a diplomatic suicide, instead of making gestures of good will,EU,canada and the US will soon be against,we'll soon be like Turkey out of cash out of friends.
Small dick energy, front and centre.
This is deeply troubling. One senses dark politics at play in attempt to destabilise the EU.
Embarrassing
I have no idea why The idiots in Bryssel insisted on a deal with them.
The EU is not a country. This decision is right and correct.
But but, isn't the EU an evil empire with a dictator who needs to send ambassadors around the world?
The Arab League is fine but not the European Union? Jesus lads, this is pathetic.
Maybe the EU countries should not give the UK ambassadors full diplomatic status? UK consists, after all of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland..
Ok Broomers
Is the EU a country? I thought it was a trade federation.
Cupid Stunts
Is this a Brexit thing?
And The Netherlands meanwhile bans UK Planes ( except freight ) due to the British Covid variant, so we’ll call it even.
Is the ambassador planning to commit crimes?
pathetic move
Britain Trump still mimicking Trump
No problemo, continue to be rude and hostile to the EU, then ask for concessions on fishing, musicians performing in the EU, customs and refugees in boats.
Good. Long overdue. Maybe if the EU addressed the question of whether it's a sovereign nation state it can then enjoy the associated benefits.
