    Again I agree on principal.

    But this event does not look like that.

    This will look to outsiders, including those that voted Brexit in the UK (and a % that did not). Like the EU customs agency is punishing the UK for leaving,

    And while that is in no way good for the UK. It is exactly what UK and US right wing nutcases want.

    As it allows a pretty believable attack that the EU is no longer a vol entry organization. But one that will actually work to destroy the econ of anyone that leaves once they are a member.

    Come on, be honest with yourself. Looking at the right wing’s use of misinformation over the last decade or so. And the number of people believing it. I’m sure you can see how dangerous this can be. Accidental or intentional. It could be used to harm EU trade outside the EU.
