We have visa regimes with all countries that pose a significant risk of its citizens abusing the waiver of visa requirements for reasons other than the intended one. The remark about visas was however an example of how the negative approach of the UK could lead to unexpected side effects.

Also taking the piss out of RB is something that he totally deserves given how he has these crazy Brexitanian notions of equality and entitlement wrt to the EU. Soon he's just another third country citizen with third country citizen status. If we don't ask him to get a visa that's because we grant it to him. Not because his UK citizenship comes with the privilege.

Finally, I don't care if they get a good deal. I care if we get a good deal. They are not our friends or partners. We do business with them or not. Depending on our needs first and foremost. If they benefit from such a deal that's fine with me. But again, it's not a priority I have.
