I just love the games cheap politicians play.
Show "us" some respect, Theresa May tells EU after her embarrassing failure in getting her Brexit terms accepted.
She is, of course, deflecting responsibility for her own failure while at the same time trying engage the sympathies of British voters for an attack on "us."
She won't admit she is incapable of doing the task she set for herself, which is the real truth here.
The EU has never that I am aware of displayed a lack of respect for Britain or its people.
But it has given Theresa May a long trail of hints and outright warnings concerning her own efforts.
She simply ignored them, and drove ahead in a hopeless effort that is now tuned in her own mind into Europe's lack of respect.
Actually, this reminds me a lot of the psychology of Hillary Clinton still out trying to tell anyone who'll listen how it wasn't she who lost the election.
It was taken from her by nefarious forces, the same nefarious forces who busy themselves even now in Salisbury with rat poison to attack call-girls, now they have apparently run out of Novichok.
