Do you mean the ECJ? If so that's an impossibility. The court is the ultimate legal regulator/arbitor of disputes in the Single Market. If Northern Ireland is to remain in the Single Market it has to follow those rules.

The court protects the integrity of the market and the UK has historically done quite well out of its decisions. Johnson and Frost know what they are requesting is an impossibility and are trying to create yet another EU bogeyman. People in NI certainly don't care so if they were interested in outcomes rather than politics they wouldn't be playing this game.

If it's all about face saving for the UK government I wonder if some sort of solution could be to install Northern Ireland into EFTA which has its own court. Of course that simply follows ECJ rulings and case law so it would be utterly the same but it would probably give the UK government a fig leaf. I don't know if there are other implications, political, legal or economic, by NI following this course though, or if it's compatible with the special NI customs status. Or if the EFTA members would welcome NI with all its complications and baggage. But it might be an option. As ever I'm simply not sure the UK are negotiating in good faith as they appear to want conflict rather than solutions.

I agree - if we all play by the rules then the court shouldn't be necessary. Johnson has done this country a disservice by his appalling behaviour. How could anyone negotiate in good faith with us? We are not the size of China who are so big they can do as they please.

I'm surprised a think tank hasn't been assembled on here, all our problems could be solved almost immediately., Boris and all those pesky little rascals they call a government should be locked in the tower of London till they learn some sense.

I know it doesn't appeal to you but the world is a complicated place and just stamping your feet and demanding change doesn't often work. It appears to be the Johnsonian approach as well, which is probably why he's proving so ineffectual as Prime Minister.

I think most of our contributors would do better in a think tank than Johnson and the rascals do in government… or would do on the Sin Bin, tbh.

And the big difference is that Johnson and his clown government are paid to get things right.
There is one absolute certainty, I'm significantly better at my day job than than Bojo & Co and I dont tell lies to my customers or try to mislead them on a daily basis.

Why are you trying to make this all about you?, having said that you do try and mislead people on here along with a couple of your mates with guff written in the Daily Blah, so maybe you and Boris have a few things in common and aren't that far apart in your thinking , what's your take on tree planting and wind turbines btw.

I wouldn't disagree with you there squire but in fairness to Boris and Co the debate would be so one sided I doubt Boris and the gang would get much of a chance to impart any serious input on the proceedings as I'm sure certain delegates representing the Sin Bin Party would overwhelmingly impede any efforts to bring about a logical and sensible solution with they're constant heckling.

Chissitt says people on here should be in a thinktank.
A person on here agrees.
