Particularly when the general analogy does not stand up ( potatoes are one of the few items not restricted! ).

Not sure thats a good position to take in trade deal negotiations on 00:36 - Sep 23 with 668 viewsArnoldMoorhen

I don't think that Boris and his friends had read the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement prior to the Referendum. Rees-Mogg certainly said things that were:

a) contemptuous of the importance of getting this right and reckless over the fragility of the peace
and
b) showed that he didn't understand the detail.

Dominic Raab, to his credit, at least was honest and admitted he hadn't read it. Although it is very much not to his credit that he hadn't read it and understood it before advocating for Brexit.

But then the Tory Party appointed someone as Northern Ireland Secretary during this period who expressed utter surprise that Catholics wouldn't vote for the DUP and Protestants wouldn't vote for Sinn Fein. And was stupid enough to literally broadcast that opinion.

The people of Northern Ireland were a very inconvenient after-thought to the Tory Brexiteers. Relations with Eire lumped together with Europe as a whole.

It's a particularly shameful chapter in the Brexit story.

I am not sure many people can understand how a deal negotiated, agreed and signed by the UK Government, is immediately so much of a problem that the product of that agreement is not implemented at all. I am sure it is not just Joe Biden who cannot appreciate the problems around NI protocol that have been created by the UK Government.

At no point will this government ever own any part of the mess they've made.
