What a bunch of hypersensitive snowflakes those leavers are.
Was it Boris Johnson who likened the EU to Adolf Hitler, and then as foreign secretary warned Brussels not to administer "punishment beatings in the manner of some World War Two movie"? Was it Michael Gove who compared pro-Remain economists to Nazi scientists? Was it current foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt who characterised the EU as a Soviet prison? Yes it was.
The Brexers have scorned and traduced the EU for years, but demand total courtesy and sensitivity to their exceptionalism in return.

None of them are Chief of European Council and amidst negotiations requiring the upmost tact and diplomacy.
Like the Head of the UK's Diplomatic Service?
The EU has indeed been exceptionally polite for decades, biting its tongue while the UK told itself it was doing the other countries a favour by showing up, that they needed it more than it needed them, and that it could manage just fine outside on its own.
The EU doesn't need to display superhuman courtesy any longer. If the Brexiters can dish it out, they can also take it.
The key point here is that the EU has no reason to nurse British egos and treat everything as absolutely normal. Everything is absolutely not normal and Brussels has every right to be furious about it. The cartoon patriots of the Tory right promised every kind of Brexit to every kind of constituency, smearing all reasoned opposition as fear-mongering and never once levelling with the British people about the sacrifice it would entail. Romantic nationalists like Johnson and Gove resolved to lie, cheat and exploit the dreams of millions in the service of their own careerist zealotry, utterly content to destroy as many lives as it took. And not just British lives or jobs, either. People in Ireland are genuinely concerned about a return to civil war, while English people scoff and condescend and compare the border which claimed 3,000 lives to the boundaries between two London boroughs. Even now, three years on, they refuse to tell the truth and simply double down on their obscene fantasies.

By all means,,but being a ****** is not so much a problem when you a backbencher not a chief negotiator.
Telling the truth does not make one a ****wit.
Perhaps that is where you keep going wrong.
Perhaps that is where you keep going wrong.
you're thinking of David Davis, perhaps.
Remember him?
"David Davis claimed the EU 'deliberately spun' negotiations out and everyone is making the same point"
For a man who presided over these negotiations for all but of four months, this comes as a rather naive statement from Davis, especially following yesterday's day of chaos in the government.
Once Davis' quotes were aired he soon found himself being intensely scrutinised for the comments, as the negotiations were mostly overseen by him.
David Davis was a terrible #Brexit Secretary. He could hardly be bothered to go to Brussels & rapidly lost respect there. Preposterous for him now to suggest that EU deliberately delayed negotiations. They spent months waiting for him to engage..

David Davis, the longest serving former Brexit Secretary, whose absence from the negotiating table was legendary, just claimed the EU strung this out and wasted time in order to run down the clock.
He actually said that.

David Davis now claims the EU strung out the negotiation process to run down the clock.
The EU did not:
- choose when to trigger A50
- decide to call a General Election mid-negotiation
- change its position
- force Davis to work less than 5 days a week
- force Davis to resign

David Davis on @BBCr4today : ‘let me be clear, it is the EU that have strung this out’ Really, Dave? You only turned up to 4 meetings with them in 18 months.
