Hah, that’d be ironic – the UK is of course still a full member of the EU but for them to push any agenda but brexit can’t very well be good for negotiations, nor the public perception of it all, can it?

I’m German, and love watching the U.K. getting raked over the coals with regards to Brexit.

But that should not have any impact on cooperation in such areas where the U.K. and the rest of the EU have a long history of friendship.

Facebook, as well as Russia’s murders and chemical weapons attacks, are a problem for all. The U.K. should and will get the solidarity of all rule-of-law countries, both as a matter of friendship and self-interest.

I don't disagree with you, but it's also hard to ignore that this makes for an uncomfortable position for the Brexiteers.
