I do hope polite little Britain is truly ready for trade
negotiations where the going can get very rough.

You mean they come in with knuckle dusters? Or what do you
mean? In any case, you may recall that history didn't start
on whatever day it was when the EU took over trade
negotiations. The UK had been doing it for hundreds of years
before that.

British pre-EU trade negotiations tended, more than usual, to
be at the end of an Imperial gun barrel and often involved
dark- skinned subjects of the Empire who had little say in
what their country agreed with London.

Every person is out for themself in a trade negotiation.
Good behaviour may have generated good will but we lost that
when we told the EU we were leaving.

It's time for us to grow up and stop whinging.

It's actually the remoaners who are whinging and throwing up
the phantom problems.

Once boisterous Brexiteers seem a bit subdued these days.
They're complaining about how negotiations aren't going as well
as expected.

No, I'm complaining about how irresponsible the EU is being.

Too bad. It was to be expected.
SO you accept being bullied.
