One can only hope that some wiser minds prevail and the lunatics in the asylum that is Westminster do not decide to unilaterally break the law they so recently signed up to. One can assume the EU is already prepared for the sanctions to be imposed on the UK in the event of a unilateral breach of the treaty. I would suggest as a starting point direct sanctions against all UK cabinet ministers in the vein of those imposed against the RussiansBrexit: UK rejects EU proposal to limit impact of NI Protocol

Think it ties in with Macrons suggestions of EU light to bring in Ukraine and even those who may have left , a message to UK governments to come not this shower, .One can only hope that some wiser minds prevail and the lunatics in the asylum that is Westminster do not decide to unilaterally break the law they so recently signed up to.

Macron will go hard on a trade war if Truss pulls the plug and the EU have stated it is ready to suspend its trade deal with the UK if Boris Johnson's government revokes the Northern Ireland protocol.

I understand the sentiment you express. However I live in Northern Ireland and the protocol does affect everyday life here. Restrictions to medicine, various foodstuffs etc would this be acceptable on the mainland? I suggest not and rightly so. Whether its Boris or the EU fault doesn't matter really it just needs sorted asap. From my perspective the EU seem not to want any sort of constructive dialogue to find a solution that works for all.One can only hope that some wiser minds prevail and the lunatics in the asylum that is Westminster do not decide to unilaterally break the law they so recently signed up to.

Time to restore GB/Northern Ireland trade
MAY 12, 2022 76 COMMENTSThe BBC and other media swamp us with the EU view on the Protocol. Most of the interviewers clearly have not read the document. If they had they would be asking the EU
1 Why have the completely alienated the Unionist community leading to the breakdown of the Assembly Executive? This breaks the Protocol’s support for the Good Friday Agreement.
2. Why do they presume to place controls and obstacles in the way of GB to NI trade when the Protocol expressly supports the integrity of the UK’s internal market?
3. Why did they sign up to the Protocol under the Withdrawal Agreement which under EU law was not allowed to tackle the post Brexit relationship? Why did they help create Article 13.8 which recognised the potential need to change or abolish the Protocol?
4. Article 16 expressly allows U.K. unilateral action where there has been damage to the community and or economy of NI, as the Unionists demonstrate there has.
5. Clause 38 of the Withdrawal Act which gives legal force to the Agreement in the U.K. expressly allows the U.K. Parliament to override the Agreement where necessary. If it had not quite a few Conservative MPs who want a sovereign U.K. would not have voted for it.
6. Article 186 of the Withdrawal Agreement requires good faith by both parties. The EU has not shown this in relation to the guarantees in the document to respect U.K. sovereignty and internal market
It is absurd that U.K. supermarkets cannot ship items to NI as easily as to any place in GB. It is completely wrong that the EU can stop the U.K. cutting VAT in NI. It is outrageous that the EU pushes through huge amounts of new law that has to be applied in NI when they have no say in its making. The government must act. There are several ways of doing so legally. It is the EU which is failing to uphold the Protocol.
Protocol. “The Good Friday Agreement…should be protected in all its parts”
“shall use best endeavours to facilitate the trade between NI and other parts of the U.K.”
“should impact as little as possible on the everyday life of communities”
“The importance of maintaining the integral place of NI in the UKs internal market”
etc
ERG went out and bought a new shovel. Then instructed the DUP to start digging. DUP man asks “how deep boss?”. ERG man says “until the spoil you dig, is enough to build a Great Wall in the Irish Sea”! DUP man says, “no problem boss, as we are true loyal subjects of Her Majesty”!
And so it came to pass, that the DUP built a very fine wall indeed. So impressed was Boris Johnson, with the handy work of the loyal subjects, that he declared “it’s a world beating wall”!
