The UK is being treated the same as any other third country, which is what you voted for, why do you see this as obstructionism?
But shouldn't we be treating the EU in the same way as they are now a foreign country to us so should not be receiving preferential treatment, that is where the problem now lies?

Because consensus is a fo0k up , better to have leadership good or bad ,
As @arcobob does you are looking at PR from a UK perspective, there is still leadership in coalitions. The best PM we had was in a coalition government, showed great leadership which resulted in a strong economy, one the world press dubbed a rock star economy, we now have a PM with an overall majority and she is fu¢king the country up.

Yes you should, the EU should be treated as any other country that you trade with, there may be some differences due to the trade agreements you have. If the problem is that your own government has negotiated a poor trade agreement (I don't think they have) or are not applying the rules correctly why is this the fault of the EU.

It's not, as has always been the case it's our own pathetic governments who cock it up every time & then put the blame on the EU, at least now they have to own their mistakes & people can vote accordingly!!

Looks like you are lining the EU up for the blame game again, when is the UK going to put on the big boy pants and start taking responsibility for their own actions?
Not really , we were in the club for 45 years so we're not going to clear things in 3 months , adapt or die .
