So essentially a fudged May's deal as far as NI is concerned.

Altered. Remember that the WA was drafted in agreement by the UK AND the EU. The EU helped to make the UK leaving the Customs Union, but keeping the border between NI and ROI open.
 
The perfect fumble said:
A week from now Parliament meets, Boris Johnson will not have a deal to present to the House and he will be forced to extend.

Everything that is happening now has to be seen in this light.

The new "positive" mood music is the necessary back drop Johnson needs to make the inevitable extension more palatable to his supporters.

Johnson will attempt to sell the extension not as capitulation, but the necessary time frame required to break the impasse, now that his masterful diplomacy has carved a pathway to a possible Brexit deal.

It also means his backers can make even more money by shorting the pound....

Oh don't worry, i'm not saying that they should be blocked. Merely pointing out that reality that it requires the acceptance of all members of the Union for a member to leave, not that a member can leave willy-nilly, as was beign suggested. People can argue the chances of the other members attempting to block it or say no, but that's not the point i'm raising.

I doubt you’ve spotted the utter hypocrisy of that comment.

No hypocrisy at all... I supported Scotland and the UK Parliament's decision to allow the referendum, because it was about membership of a union that makes up the country of the United Kingdom and ALL members of the UK union should have the right to decide if they leave this country or not.

Remember, the EU isn't a country...

Not even going to bother explaining to someone who thinks Great Britain is a country. It would be a waste of my time.

UK is a country. GB was the name of the country before the act of union 1801.

"Won't bother to explain"... yeah you tend to do that a lot. Make sweeping statements and then never back them up. ;)

I can see how that could work for goods transiting from RoI to GB via NI but what happens if the final destination of the goods from RoI is NI? If there are to be no customs checks on the island of Ireland then surely NI would be a de facto part of the EU customs union, wasn't that a red line at some point in this crackpot business?

Personally, even I they do get that accepted, I can't see Scotland, Wales and English businesses not kicking up a huge fuss about one section of the UK having free access to EU markets while the rest of the UK doesn't. Surely any business that relies on parts or materials sourced in the EU will look at moving to where there is easiest access to those parts, could be boom time for N.Ireland.

Business has authority over the electorate?

Not what you said here. No mention of 1801.

Yep, knew you'd be that pedantic.

"UK is the name of the union" the union of GB and NI. It's really not that hard to figure out what I was saying, but oh look, Diddy once again fails to do so.

"Go away..." See, I told you, you do this to yourself.
