If Brexit is the "Will of the People" based on the 2019 election which was explicitly fought & won on Boris Johnson's "oven ready deal" in order to bring the Brexit referndum to fruition...

...then this means the Northen Irish Protocol must be the "Will of the People", too.

Which leads to the point that many - Leavers or Remainers - often miss.
Brexit isn't just a question of right or wrong...
...it forces the UK to grapple, not just with problems,...but with illogical paradoxes from which there is no solution.
