[Sir Tigger KC]

So it appears that under Boris's version of the EU's terms of withdrawal treaty, Northern Ireland will align with the Republic of Ireland's VAT rates which is 23%, but more significantly the reduced rate for energy is 13.5% as opposed to the UK's 5%. The result will be considerable price hikes for the people of Northern Ireland. 

At first glance I thought WTF are they thinking?    But now I'm wondering if it's a Johnson/Cummings cunning plan to get Northern Ireland to reject the plan under the 'consent' principle and take us further down the road to a clean break BREXIT, albeit later than 31st October.     It would also lay bare the cost of Irish unification to the people of NI? 

But one things for sure, despite all the rhetoric about them digging up the semtex because a few lorries might get stopped and checked here and there, Boris doesn't seem too worried about pissing off the Unionist communities, by making Northern Ireland a semi-detached part of the UK?   

More to this than meets the eye?

I really don't think that Boris and his boss Dominic think quite that deeply, Sir Tig.

He has thrown the DUP under the bus.

Northern Ireland is over some water, so it's not really part of Boris' UK. He's not even that keen on the bits that are joined on.

Sounds more like a 'cunning plan' devised by Baldrick.

Yeah ........those pesky gingers who favour the man skirt are causing Boris far too much 'ballache'....

We could pay the EU divorce bill in turnips.

Plenty of those in Lincolnshire!

no different to any other plan Johnson's been associated with. And is likely to be just as successful.

Something seems to happen to British Prime Ministers when they go to Brussels. 

They all talk tough and tell us what a great deal they're going to get for the country and then come back trying to sell us a pile of poo! 

It's been the same with them all since Maggie?

Boris is claiming victory. He tells us his deal is 'excellent'.....

Agreed. He stood on stage at the DUP conference and told them that no Tory PM ever could or should, consent to a border down the Irish sea. A few months later he has done exactly that. I plan on voting Brexit party at the next election and then I will either never vote again, or vote for the raving loonies just to exercise my right to vote.
