If your first response to a chemical attack on UK soil is to ask yourself "how can I make this about Brexit?" you're an idiot. And if your answer is to pretend that European security is a function of the EU -rather than NATO- you must think *we're* idiots.

Utter cobblers. UK begged the EU to allow NI to remain in the Single Market to avoid having the regulatory border (that comes with having your own regulatory area you demanded) going through the GFA line - which is where it moves to -by int'l law- without the NIP.

I love a good Guardian parody as much as the next guy, but this one pushes the joke a bit far. Expecting us to believe a journalist would refuse to honour the sacrifices made to secure the freedoms they rely on, simply stretches credibility to breaking point.

People screeching about "betrayal" before reading the "Deal" are the same people who'd shout "betrayal" about *any* future economic relationship with Europe. If these people are going to shout "betrayal" either way, we might as well stay in the SM and keep the economy.
