We’re no different to any other non EU country & I find it perplexing that now Brexit has been ‘done’ with numerous brexiteers telling remainers to accept the situation some brexiteers are now throwing their rattles out the pram.
You wanted Brexit, you got Brexit, stop the whinging and the childish bleating.

I agree that the EU is treating the single market border between GB and NI the same as it would any other. It’s plainly daft however to claim there’s no basis for expecting different arrangements to apply to GB-NI. This is an internal issue for a sovereign independent state. The present solution ignores the sanctity of national sovereignty (which is of only incidental importance to the European Commission) in favour of the sanctity of the single market (which is of overriding importance to the European Commission).
Like it or not, the government strategy has clearly been designed to accept that situation only as long as required to actually get a deal signed, then undermine it on the calculation that nobody in the EU will really want to bring the whole treaty down over Northern Ireland.
