Everything connected with the European Union is a complete bureaucratic mess. Whoever thought that ceding power to a bunch of eurocrats was a good idea is surely lamenting the decision now. We have effectively lost the sovereignty of this nation and this BA/BMI case speaks volumes on the sad state of this nation, we have become a vassal state of Brussels.
If this deal fails to go through then I will be lost for words, bearing in mind that AF/LH have a far greater percentage of slots in their home ports.
