lmao this rules. With today's tech there is no point in sending out reporters to the field so CNN probably got to Glasgow, saw nothing impressive enough to film as a backdrop and went "gently caress it, we'll go to Edinburgh to film the castle".

Lol

It’s probably just this, but it does feel so flagrant that you wonder whether Patterson has something spicy that he threatened to go public with if Johnson didn’t rush to his aid.

So they just thought the media and electorate were going to handwave away flagrant and blatant corruption. Then shat themselves when The Mail called them out on it? They’re really that loving stupid?

Well, not quite, because the border in the Irish sea was negotiated by the UK. They wanted it. They had no intention of actually adhering to the things they signed, but they did sign.

Additionally, Article 16 doesn't allow the UK to disapply the protocol, it's a button that leads to further talks in a committee. However, as it is being threatened in extremely bad faith the US are getting ornery. All the inflammatory rhetoric and the shifting of goal posts isn't good for peace on the island of Ireland, and the US is invested in the Good Friday Agreement.

The "agree to everything the EU says but make it look like a compromise" is pretty accurate though. The EU doesn't mind that NI is slowly being pulled towards the ROI by having that sweet taste of the common market, and the TCA is heavily weighted in the EU's favour as well…

What the DUP and the UKGov don’t want to admit is that things are actually working well here. Businesses are adapting and shifting their supply chains to get stuff from the ROI and EU rather than the UK and we are not seeing empty shelves or petrol queues here in NI. The way the story was tried to be spun to be about “sausages” was particularly funny as if there’s one thing Ireland isn’t short of it is excellent sausages. There are however some bizarre exceptions like this Premier Inn I stayed at in Derry last week. They’ve clearly refused to adapt their England based supply chain for their crappy microwave meal menu and so 3/4 of their menu is currently unavailable.
Including , bizarrely, bread rolls. They are claiming they cannot find someone to supply them a bread roll in Northern Ireland lol.

'They are unwilling to pay a higher price for the bread rolls' would be my take on things.

Regarding here in N.I. things look to be fairly good, we won't starve and the food selection is still better than i had available in the 1970s.

I'll take some pork, leek & honey sausages from McAtamney's Butchers over any imported ones from the UK every single time. :colbert:

The butcher in the Spar in my local petrol station does better sausages than you’d ever find in England.

I was under the impression that the protocol working well is the problem for them. The better NI looks with its access to the EU's market, the worse it looks for Brexiteers.

Which is hosed if you think about it for a few seconds, but also extremely funny.

Yes absolutely. They both have to pretend the protocol is bad for NI when in fact the opposite is becoming clear for all to see

Honestly I imagine the BBC top brass must think they dodged a bullet when Nadine was put in charge. She’s so loving thick she could barely operate a TV remote control so I imagine she’s easier to handle than that gimlet eyed little prick that was the previous minister, or indeed any Tory with the ability to walk and breathe at the same time.

One of the few pleasures of this government is hearing Raab being repeatedly sent out, clearly against his will as he loving loathes him, to slavishly defend Boris Johnson’s laughable behaviour. 5 mins on the Today programme of Raab painstakingly explaining how important Peppa Pig is to the governments vision.
