The reason I said that is because Britain and Portugal have a 500 year old friendship that seems strange that they'd have that stance. 

Yeah, surely for that reason the UK royally threatened them in 1890.

No surprises, it matches culture, history and general UK relations.

 

It should be interesting to draw a prediction based on those three ladders (1, 2, 3) weighted per country GDP. That is the probable outcome.

Also, isn't it telling that the EU selected the Guy Verhofstadt (you know, the gap-toothed overweight Papist who looks like an elderly lesbian) as negotiator? One of the most rabid pro-EU politicians and opponents of Farage is going to negotiate on behalf of the EU. Diplomacy!

TBF, the most adamant about a FUCK U UK, FUCK U UK message, has been Manfred Weber, by far.

Leaving them out isn't hostile, but anything that sets out to damage Gibraltar is hostile. 

In my opinion part of this move may be because the EU would like to push the United Kingdom out of defence and military roles in the Med. Would like to, will do or would be able to are 3 different things though.

If Gibraltar is treat in a hostile way it will be a breach of article 8 of the Lisbon treaty. Gibraltar could take the EU/Spain to the ECJ and most likely win with ease. 

I mean criticism to this particular decision, not about what they might do in the future, because calling "leaving Gib out of negotiations" hostile (rather vague word anyways) is kind of an overstatement, right?

Apparently Barnier has agreed to leave Gibraltar out of the negotiations and to give veto powers to Spain in the matter of Gibraltar afterwards, making it (to my understanding) a de facto bilateral UK-Spain issue to be tackled with after Brexit.

I would like to read criticism of the EU because of this on here (if more nuanced than "supremacist totalitarian european soviet union rant" the better), as at the very least it means getting leverage in a negotiation aside from pleasing the diplomatic service of a member state against the diplomatic service of a leaving member state over the issue of a tax-haven.

How can that story come out as a surprise?

The only spin is that there is a guy alienated from his peers literate enough to write a piece about it.

If it is true that the SNP are not going to take Scotland back into the EU then this referendum is entirely about Celtic racialism and the mask will have slipped.

If independent, wouldn't Scotland be better in a Norway's EFTA style type of deal managing fishery and oil rather than as EU member?

What's the take of the british posters on here people on Daniel Hannan?

Despite not being yet sold in his top-5 player hype, Verratti would look good in a Barcelona shirt and it's the type of player they need the most in order to keep on surfing the Messi wave. Not André Gomes.

Well filmed, gritty enough, decent and exclusive set of mutant characters, but ultimately I am not totally sold on the whole hype.

The girl lacked a Mexican accent. It was more peninsular Spanish than anything.
