Before Brexit, I didn't know the difference between Britain and (the) UK.
I do now.
So, I always allow myself a smile whenever Johnson or another Brexiteer mutter "smething" Britain, as it clearly excldes Northern Ireland from the equation.
Some will argue, Britain is just a figure of speech, and they mean UK all the time, but these things really matter, especially when NI has a very different Brexit from the rest of Britain.
NI is in the EU SM and CU for goods, and has many rights guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights in the GFA.
NI has no fuel shortages, nor are it's supermarkets experiencing empty shelves.
It has been mooted today by Stephen Bush from the New Statesman that the NIP is being collapsed by the UK Government not because of the damage it is doing to NI, but to the fact it shows what damage Brexit is doing to the rest of Britain.
This morning Frost denied that Brexit wasn't working, then blamed its not working on Remainers forcing a Government with an 80 seat majority made up of MPs who swore to support the WA and NIP, to agree said deal against the Government's will.
This is frankly bollocks, and shows, in the same speech, how a born again Brexiteer ties his own justifucation in knots.
It is madness, and shows loyalty to the Brexit dogma trumps everything, even reality.
