Nobody's accusing you of being non-patriotic. But you are accusing others -
by implying in your comparison that others, particularly me, are nationalist as distinct from patriotic.

You say (or rather imply because you don't really SAY anything) that the UK should obey the NI Protocol which the UK negotiated. You don't say that the Protocol is not working and needs changing either by treaty or by degree of implementation on the EU's part. In fact you come across as not caring about the difficulties being faced by our compatriots in NI.

Hugh has made it into a binary thing. Not liking Macron or Macronites is not nationalism. Disliking the spanish government for their Gibraltar stance is not nationalism. Sodding the EU is pure patriotism in present circumstances.

I provided 2 x non-nationalism and 1 x patriotism. Hardly binary.
