totally agree.

i think the warning sign have always been there about Northern Ireland's position from Day one of the negotiations which as been a unique position to me, and I am surprised that the like of Heseltine, IDS, William Hague haven' spoken out since Boris laid this position out, and I think this is icy ground for Boris - or has he sprung a EU trapdoor?

I just wonder had we tried to leave when Thatcher was PM, would she have done anything different to Boris?

I did read somewhere that one of Johnson's faults is that he's incredibly lazy.
On the other hand I read that Thatcher was reported to work to all hours absorbing the advice of those more experienced.

A new word for the Brexit jargon collection :

Kermit (a Kent Access Permit), which lorry drivers will need to enter the county of Kent from the rest of England, or get fined.

I will therefore accuse the EU of being total Piggys then!!

They have had their snouts in the trough for years!!

*****BREAKING NEWS******

Internal Market Bill has cleared the Commons after MPs gave it a third reading by 340 votes to 256, majority 84...

Fucks sake, they're doing a bang up job of turning us into an international joke aren't they, I mean, yay, let's break international law. Morons.

Someone needs to find a way to overturn that vote on technicality pretty quickly. They must have been drunk on both sides to even pass it Parliament in one fell swoop has betrayed the whole nation in passing this Bill.
Parliament & the nation has been done over like a kipper - By a nutcase PM with a nutcase cabinet who couldn't even make a piss up in a brewery look entertaining...Absolute bollocks.
I can now see the EU breaking of negotiations tomorrow morning and giving a kicking to Gove right between the balls (I hope)

Our reputation as a an honest trading nation has been badly scarred & now I can't see how we can be trusted in trade deal and certainly don't thin many nations wil be beating a path o No.10 to trade with us, and this Bill will likely make negotiations with other nations that much harder to pull off.
God Almighty, it's way bad enough that the Govt has made a joke of creating a "world beating" trace & track system
And now this... they have now made us an even bigger joke as a trading nation. The Govt have completely fucked up any hope of seriously good deal on Brexit letting this through. WTF????

It’s now all going to kick off. The EU has issued notice of legal proceedings against the U.K. government!

I knew it!! If it gets through the Lords and into law, it bet it will take years to repeal it.
Surely Johnson knew that he was on thin ice with the EU, and whoever dreamt it up must have the known the possible legal outcomes.
