People's opinions tend to come up for for criticism a lot when they've been built largely upon incorrect information. No one's perfect and I've rightly been called out for this too but that's why his recent postings here have met with the reception they have. And some posts do have a Comical Ali feel to them, which I'm sure he would be the first to acknowledge.
You need to do some more research before criticising other people’s posts, Andrew. The main difference between Boris Johnson’s deal and Theresa May’s was that he abolished the backstop. And this is what he said of the Theresa May deal:

He proceeded because it was the only way of getting Brexit done by the end of the year. I have not misremembered. Look at his tweet in that link.

‘I have been and remain intensely critical of the deal. But we have a choice to make now, and that means choosing between options that actually exist. I have come to the sad conclusion that neither this government nor this parliament is willing to leave with no deal.’

And I have not forgotten the technical issues either. We can overcome this problem, but the will needs to be there on the EU side. In the meantime, we could have a straight forward and secure system of packaging and labelling which would overcome the questions relating to the transitional period.

Nah, you are just in denial that we can ever make a success of Brexit. We will overcome these initial problems, one way or another, and then you will see all your predictions about Brexit come undone.

The more nonsense you spout now, the more it will all come back and haunt you in due course.

That’s OK. I can wait.
