If Andrew were to concede my point, it would make less credible his constant siding with the EU (which he'll deny) and his constant sniping at the British Government (which he wants to continue doing).

Boris couldn't answer pointed questions about anything. He hid in a fridge, remember?
I think you would be better off just letting it go. There are people on both sides who have dug their heels in and won't back down (I'm sure people would accuse me of the same) and you may as well talk to a brick wall in that case.
But in this specific debate, about the WA and the legalities and the government's attempt to subvert it, it almost doesn't matter what the EU has or hasn't done - what should matter is what is and isn't legal.
We left the EU. We left under an agreement that Boris promoted and pushed, that was scruitanised by our own MPs in our own parliament. It had all sorts of legal eyes on it (eventually) and any issues with it were raised as necesary. It was signed by our government.
The EU has it's flaws, but they're just the current in a long line of boogeymen that the likes of Boris throws up in front of you to rile you up and get you on their side. And it's working.
If nothing else, this should be a hint that whomever is in government now isn't doing a very good job of it, particularly if they have to resort to breaking the law.
