One can only conclude that these unintended 'benefits' are the result of masterly incompetence - or perhaps the subtle intention is to hasten a united Ireland by pissing people off like this.

Although this is about vaccines it looks like some of the Brexit shit is about to hit the fan as regards Northern Ireland.

I'm with Arlene for once. This is what no one wanted. It puts the GFA in jeopardy

Was discussing Arlene elsewhere and a friend posted this - Jeremy Paxman interviewing a 17 year old Arlene, and Madonna!!! Murphy, after a school bus bombing.

She was told the risks when she campaigned for brexit.

And yet it still screws up Sinn Fein, SDLP, and the Alliance, and puts the GFA in real danger. In which case I Told You So is a worthless position

These problems in NI ports must surely place the 'protocol' and risk and if so, due to threats to staff, this could turn into a right old can of worms for everyone involved. I can't see the EU abandoning doing checks, but if these are not done at the ports then I wonder where else in NI they could be done if these threats persist.

Now for the bees:

https://www.itv.com/news/2021-02-02/beekeeper-in-brexit-row-with-government-over-threat-to-burn-15m-baby-bees

"monumentally stupid"

I don't know what his problem is. The British People voted overwhelmingly by 2% to ban the immigration of bees from Europe...

...What do you mean it never came up at the time?

I'm just totally bemused by the level of detail that was gone into. I mean it's ok to import Queen Bees but the rest of you fuck off with your filthy foreign buzzing.
