    I cannot remember if this was this specific program but I remember thinking the EU cutting off funding for individual searchers in the netherlands just because they were british. Found that kinda harsh

      That whole’s mess was sad anyway. Britties they have their flaws but they’re our friends. My grandgrandpa hid one guy falling from the sky during ww2. Gave him to the resistance. He always hoped the guy survived lol

          yea, especially the part where he didn’t know anything. He had given the guy a note with his address (to reconnect after the war) and when the handler knew he left the room running. Not the best idea lol

      I can basically guarantee that this was a consequence of the British government’s total failure to negotiate a meaningful exit deal and not the EU trying to get some kind of revenge. That government was a fucking disaster that couldn’t even agree with itself on which version of its self-contradicting wishlist it wanted to go for

        Yea trust me I remember bojo the clown. I was in britain actually during that time, because macron had blocked the eurostar.

        I’m belgian, I don’t like the UE either for different reasons, everybody was shitty during that time imo.

        I enjoyed my time there a lot though.
