People break laws all the time? Ever gone over 70?

It's not the law as much as what the consequences are for breaking it.

The Police regularly ignore the breaking of laws and selectively enforce depending upon their priorities.

Other countries also regularly break international laws.

This may be to stop NI turning bad again.
What laws is he advocating breaking as a bit too complex for me.

Chatting to a copper mate of mine on Sunday, he said he was too busy trying to catch people who smash other people over the head with a brick in a bag, or lacerate people with kitchen knives to worry to much about covid laws....but then he is based in Swindon.

*both above happened on his last shift, a Thursday afternoon!

When the EU say breaking international law, I always say, fair enough - get a navy and air force - otherwise it's called pissing into the wind.

To be fair, HMG have been quite blatant about their current proposal breaking international law and it is not a good look no matter what. Personally I am fully behind the move because it is the EU who disgust me on a multiple of levels. And given that almost every single British person up in the arms about this are also the t***s who wanted my vote on June 23rd rendered useless, they to can go and f*** themselves. They also disgust me on a multiple of levels as well with my heart pumping piss for them.

But however this pans out, this will not have been this country's finest moment. Sometimes when s*** is s***, you have to accept that even if you are quite happy for it to be flung about.

I believe maybe Cameron's deal could have been done.
Any deal now just can't be. This NI stuff - the deal the government are 'breaking the law' with is essentially to have a border at nobody other than the EUs behest. Really, Ireland are so in hock to the EU, they are the scapegoats. Whichever way the border/customs checks/virtual border/passport checks go in NI, one half of the population will be up in arms. The EU would rather have that to, once again, have the UK as the bad guys.
I have always gone along the lines of, if the EU want a border or checks let them do it. Perhaps they can send some Germans in to check everyone's papers?
It's not going to happen between Ireland/NI and Britain unless the EU force it. They may be able to force Ireland, who will find a way to weedle out of it - as they always do. But British borders are not going to happen, so basically the EU can posture all it likes. They will blame Britain, but if Britain say straight out right now that they won't do it no matter what, then the EU can do feck all about it. And it is them that will look bad.
In Ireland the media will go into overdrive about Britain's arrogance and intransigence. The man or woman on the street won't care though - as long as there is no border. Perhaps the EU could buy up some razor wire, border check points and guard huts? There's plenty laying unused around the place. But the demand is going to be rising for these products within a year or two.
