Was this the same Boris Johnson who once said that no British Tory government could accept customs controls between GB and NI.

I can only assume you are lying. Boris is an honest man of principles and virtue.

Didn't realise that Parliament had actually given him a free hand in negotiations.

They don’t have to. There’s always no deal. 
That’s satisfies his criteria.

Where has Parliament said that? Have you read the Benn bill?

It simply enforces a delay. Nothing to stop Boris going for no deal after that.

That's because it wasn't on the ballot paper. What was on the ballot paper was crystal clear. Only Remainers play the ballot paper card.

Well, if this is true (a Customs Border running down the Irish Sea), this would be contrary to section 55 of the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018
Quote:
55 Single United Kingdom customs territory
(1)It shall be unlawful for Her Majesty’s Government to enter into arrangements under which Northern Ireland forms part of a separate customs territory to Great Britain.
(2)For the purposes of this section “customs territory” shall have the same meaning as in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1947 as amended.
|
Until Section 55 is repealed by Parliament it is unlawful for the United Kingdom to enter into such an agreement - amusingly, this amendment was authored by Jacob Rees-Mog and tabled by members of the European Research Group (ERG)...

I don't have to hope for any type of Brexit to make the passing observation that radio silence, and Mark Francois visible anger, mean that it's not unicorn Brexit and that clearly there will be some upset at the outcome from within the Brexit camp. Despite it being one homogeneous group where everyone knew exactly what they voted for.

Well you do, you made the statement, you can’t qualify that statement because you have no idea what kind of Brexit was hoped for. That is the fundamental argument for Remain.
The only version of expected Brexit that was hoped for that you can opine on is yours. Unless you canvass the 17.4 million to get their view.

They voted for Leave. Anything that involves the backstop in any shape or form, is not Leave.

Wrong.
Mark Francois is visibly angry. I can opine on that. I doubt he’s a 17.4 million to 1 shot, he seems a fairly average bloke.
