It's almost as if it's useful for someone, somewhere that we fight amongst ourselves deciding who to blame rather than paying closer attention to what's going on right under our noses.

Blame the EU all you want, but the EU didn't force us to make that agreement, BoJo did. Blame him for signing a bad deal and having to live with the consequences.

Otherwise, stop rabbiting on to remainers to get over it and respect the vote. You get to pick one, but not both - either what was agreed was agreed, or it wasn't.

I have accepted the vote, why can't people accept the WA?

This really riles me (as if anyone cares).

Surely you recognise that the feared adverse consequences (EU putting an extreme interpretation on the WA) would be bad for the UK. Do you?

I'll await your response, which I hope will be direct to the questio, before commenting further.

The remain theory also falls apart when we look at some others who have criticised the amendment:
- Geoffrey Cox
- Michael Howard
- Norman Lamont

All leavers. I think they would firmly put you in your place if you said that they were taking the EU side.

Plenty of people warned us that Boris and his cabinet are incompetent so this mess should not surprise us.

There's a perfectly good appeals mechanism which the Government can call upon if it has any issues with the Withdrawal Agreement before taking any drastic steps.

Is it "perfectly good"? The moment that an incident occurs threatening the UK's integrity, the Guvmin must act and not suffer the procrastination of the appeals mechanism.
