Well, well, well. Look who’s crawling back.
After years of telling the EU to fuck off back to Brussels with its pesky regulations, stable trading partnerships, and inconvenient defence of human rights, the UK is now, rather sheepishly, trying to rekindle some form of relationship with its former best mate.
