I am incredibly reluctant to side with Remoaners and twats like Bliar, but........
Bliar who took us to war on trumped up *Weapons of mass destruction*
Major who was arguably the worst PM we ever had?
As always the devil is in the detail and its not just about NI but fisheries which is something that we need to fully control in future after fishing rights were stolen from us by the EU many years ago and that decimated the fishing industry. I am no Tory and have never voted Tory but I am behind Boris and believe is is acting in the best long term interest of our nation, and if insurance is what we need just in case then I am for the bill.

I hope you recall that I am a passionate Brexit supporter.....but I've always been suspicious of Boris Johnson and his motivations. He was always pro-EU before being offered the leading role in the Brexit campaign and he suddenly switched sides.
I've been quite supportive of his handling of Brexit negotiations - his predecessor was an abject failure.
My only criticisms really have been that he hasn't been aggressive enough.
But how on earth can anyone support him on this?
He drafted this agreement that he now unilaterally wants to tear sections up; just where is our credibility then?
And the parts he wants to rip up are incredibly sensitive and could be harmful to the future of the UK itself.
I get the impression he's deliberately trying to provoke a reaction from the EU in order to garner support here in the UK and to deflect away from his handling of the Covid 19 pandemic and other domestic issues.

Not sure things will be very different for the Chanel Islands as they have been under EU rules. Boris's plan is to take back control of our fishing waters around the UK so we are no longer subject to EU impose quotas etc, but he may need to give some. All depends on if there is a deal I guess, which there might not be.

Brexit war erupts as Frost tells Barnier HANDS OFF Channel Tunnel - 'Blatant power grab'
THE EUROPEAN Union has been told to keep its hands off the Channel Tunnel after Brussels attempted a power grab over the link between England and France.
The late move by Michel Barnier’s negotiating team has been seen as “a trojan horse” to impose EU jurisdiction over British territory which could also be used to block trade deals with other countries. It comes as Lord Frost’s negotiating team have accused the EU of “politicising” the negotiations and “overreaching” with their threats to ban UK food exports to Europe.
The demand that the EU has governance over the Channel Tunnel was added to the process in August late in the negotiations and would have given Brussels and the European Court of Justice control of the line through Kent to St Pancras station in London.
The Channel has for decades been governed via a bilateral agreement between Britain and France in the Treaty of Canterbury.
“Any bilateral agreement must fully respect the UK’s status as an independent sovereign nation – we will never sign up to demands to align with EU laws or be subject to the EU having a say.”
In a piece for Briefings for Brexit, civil servant Caroline Bell wrote: “This is nothing less than a blatant power grab by the EU, which seeks to usurp a bilateral arrangement that is sound in international law in order to be able to impose EU regulation and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in the UK.”

I'm with you there.
There is no end to their audacity. We have to leave because the won't let us go.
They have no conception of the meaning of soverignity.
