Do you have a link for that opinion?

Having inferred that the remark was slantwise directed at OB, where has he been cantankerous? Or were you only taking the narrow definition of "argumentative" as your meaning? Does OB really need to see his GP (which he can't)?
OB's insights into Brexit have been interesting and valuable - not to be sneered at as some here do.

A percentage of his Brexit posts do you're right, However, a percentage of them are so hysterically funny or misguided that he almost comes across as a character from 'the late night mash'

Whilst it's true that Old Boy has been rather forgetful of late on this thread (qv Boris's comments on the Brexit deal and the forgotten technological issues that MrMistoffess highlighted) and I'm sure he appreciates your neighbourly concern, I'm really not the right person to advise whether he sees his GP or not.
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.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Turning to the topic, I see that the perfidious Varadkar (the Irish tanasty) is on manoeuvres as he visits NI.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-58422191
I've taken a highly selective quote! My bold highlights.
Quote:
Mr Varadkar said he "certainly wouldn't have any objection" to grace periods being extended, but it would be up to the UK and EU to agree to it.
"The difficulty is it doesn't deal with underlying difficulties - it just puts things off," he added.
He also said he and Taoiseach (Irish PM) Micheál Martin recognised unionists had "genuine and heartfelt concerns" about the Northern Ireland Protocol.
But he said the focus needed to be on finding practical solutions that ensured the Republic of Ireland's position in the EU single market is protected.

Why does the UK have to help protect RoI's position in the EU single market?

He's saying that solutions to the Brexit border problem in Ireland need to be practical and can't be at the expense of Ireland's position in the Single Market. So basically reiterating his country's red line.

Surely that's his country's perfidious red line ?

Re: Britain outside the EU
Just been told that there's over 70 000 excess pigs in the country due to the abattoirs and meat processing plants being so short of staffed.

Understood. But we are still in the irresistible force/immovable object situation. It cannot be resolved unless one side bends over or the EU trusts the UK (which it won't). Never mind the blame for that (Boris) but that is the situation.

People were sold a pig-in-a-poke. I'd take it up with Redwood if I were you, maybe ask for a refund.
