What we are seeing is the EU is prepared to make Europe poorer to keep their dream of a United Federalist Europe alive. No deal hurts Europe the same way it hurts the EU, farmers, car makers etc will suffer with a No Deal UK leaving the EU.
The World is bigger than the EU in all terms. The only thing that keeps it going is the belief that as one unit it can negotiate deals that small countries can't. Great for small countries, sucks for big ones that can negotiate quicker, better and more effectively.
Since being in the EU the UK has two options. Borrow beyond it's ability to pay back or austerity. Currently they are cutting back on spending and suffering, record poverty, stagnant wages, homeless in growing numbers, schools, hospitals, police, social services, etc are not getting the funds they need. Just the funds the country can afford to spend. The EU's answer amounts to "As bad as it is now, it will get worse if you leave to look for business abroad and try to go it alone.".
I hope at the next EU elections the people will go out and vote for MEPs to represent their best interests and not the interests of big business and bureaucrats.
The last person to come up with the idea of a united Europe was an Austrian in a German uniform. We all know how that ended.
