A thank you to Brexiteers.

Just got back from Faro Airport where Border Control simply directed passengers on the UK flights to use both EU and Non EU lanes . The only small difference is that holidaymakers got their passports stamped ( no doubt due to the 90/180 day rules) but as I have a residencia I don't get a stamp. No customs check on the bacon, corned beef, cheese, pork pies, and black pudding that I had in my bag either.

:mad: The UK is middle of a pork based logjam and you're smuggling bacon and pork pies out of the country. If anyone asks me this Xmas why we can't have nice things, I shall point them in your direction.

Brexit: Lord Frost proposes 'entirely new' NI protocol - BBC News

The UK's Brexit minister says the existing protocol cannot survive and warns the UK could still trigger Article 16.

I tend to view the BBC as largely questioning Brexit, rather than supporting it. How does their headline differ substantially from The Guardian for instance?

Lord Frost: failure to rip up NI protocol would be ‘historic misjudgment’

translated from diplomateese, and from the horses smirking mouth: they signed it knowing they wouldnt implement it

Knowing they didn't want to, at least. I really doubt they had a plan so clear as for them to know what they were and weren't going to do about it.

Johnsons off the record (sort of) comments to the NI faithful suggest otherwise: throw the paperwork in the bin, have your cake and eat it, not building/employing any border infrastructure, "‘no forms, no checks, no barriers of any kind" etc <said days before signing

Nah, that's just evidence that Johnson is happy to just tell an audience whatever it is it wants to hear.

I think the government has gone into this not really knowing how it would resolve itself and they are not really guided by objectives so much as just not taking responsibility.

It's difficult to know what will happen, but just not implementing the protocol (as opposed to talking tough and dragging your feet) still seems unlikely to me. The UK can't win a trade war with the EU. That's not to say there can't be one, obvs.

well we cant know for certain, but I disagree - I dont believe they ever planned to honour it, and it was necessary to sign something to get Brexit over the line (its what Frost as good as said today).

That "freedom of movement for you and your pork pies" deal seems to be working out pretty well.
