Angela Merkel announced Britain will have to “live with the consequences” of a distant relationship with the European Union in the event of a no-deal exit.
Unlike his predecessor Theresa May, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has scrapped the idea of maintaining close economic ties with the EU after the Brexit transition period ends on December 31.
The UK recently rejected a EU deal surrounding environmental and consumer protections and workplace rights, and Mrs. Merkel has now hardened her stance as Germany prepares to take over the rotating presidency of the EU.

We taught them a lesson in 1918
And they’ve hardly bothered us since then.
Well, maybe with the exception of Honecker.
Thanks. You’re probably right. I just think she has been a disaster.
Germans would probably say their loss to England in the 1966 World Cup Final. Frau Nieschtupp Bitte would probably place second, especially after Brexit Britain stuns the Huns once more.
