The links I have provided back up my statements.

Who is no longer the ‘opposition’

I made no such stereotypical false claim, I never once used the word ‘lazy’. I’ve backed up my statement with numerous links.

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2022/jun/10/rules-relaxed-foreign-teachers-work-schools-in-england Guess who’s kids will wind up being taught by imported teachers who don’t meet the qualification requirements that the Tories plan to ‘relax’?

Somebody who didn’t like what the data was demonstrating.

Not quite. Johnson has suggested housing benefit be used to buy houses. It’s another one of his ‘shiny things for the future’ it is not a policy that has been put in place.

Back to Johnson. He’s been rumbled.

you seem to know how that works.

I believe the thread is open to all members of this forum, correct me if I’m wrong.

Most were Scottish, and somebody else was already there planting stuff in the very same land. But a nationalist not understanding the history of his own nation is no surprise.

This thread is not about Thailand or Thai people.

Meanwhile there is no effective customs control of goods entering the UK. But you bit the bait and got wound up about the NI protocol despite the economy of NI out pacing that of the rest of the UK.

The most sensible solution is re-join the Customs Union, but the ERG won’t stand for that, so UK citizens and UK businesses must pay the price.

So why all the moaning?

That would be a baseless opinion.

Please point out which treaty provisions have been breached?

Try to come to terms with the reality, Washington is dictating to the UK the limits of what the UK can and cannot do wrt NI and the Good Friday Agreement. How are your prices going?

Here’s a real ‘Imports Inspection’ problem. The UK has failed to prepare for inspections at the EU/UK border, there are insufficient staff, insufficient facilities, insufficient procedures. There is no obligation on any EU nation to inspect goods leaving or transiting through their territory to the UK. Goods entering the EU to an EU nation final destination from ‘third nations’ are inspected at the first EU port of entry. (See example of goods arriving from UK to EU). Goods arriving at any EU port from any ‘third nation’ that are destined for the UK are not being inspected by any EU nation, and they are almost certainly not being inspected by the UK’s inadequate customs inspections when they arrive in the UK. The UK has almost no customs inspections on goods arriving from the EU or more worryingly goods shipped via the EU. The UK’s borders are to all practical considerations open to smugglers. Now what was all that about ’Control of our boarders’?

Brexit removed the UK’s rights to trade with the EU without import/export controls, you got what you voted for, ‘third nation trading rights’.

The UK is not going to dissolve ‘Devolved Parliaments’, Washington had already given instruction on the matter. Which begs a question; How’s your ‘sovereignty’ working out.

Where are these checks taking place? Who’s making these checks? Trade between the UK and NI is direct, it doesn’t go through EU territory.

I’m not sure being ‘the smartest guy in the room’ is much of an accolade, given the ‘room’ is Johnson’s Government. Are you missing the point that the NI unionist tail is wagging the Tory dog?

And right now they are all experiencing the downside consequences. Except that is, those in NI who are enjoying the benefits of continuing un-interrupted trade with the EU via the NI/SI open border, with the result that the NI economy is outstripping that of the rest of the UK. So much for negative consequences of the NI protocol - there are none, they don’t exist.
