British Prime Minister Boris Johnson made one of his most audacious diplomatic maneuvers yet since arriving at No. 10, infuriating many of his EU allies by declaring that a provision of the Brexit agreement that had been formerly been known as the “Northern Irish” provision would likely be cast aside by the British like skunked beer, despite threats from the EU that doing so would constitute a violation of the agreement.
London has continued checking goods heading to destinations in the UK, but when it comes to goods bound for the EU, inspections on goods crossing through the Irish Sea into Northern Ireland, the standards they use are decidedly more lax.
All of this has been tantamount to PM Boris Johnson and his government declaring that they had officially abandoned the Northern Ireland agreement, which was designed to prevent checks of goods from taking place in the middle of the Irish Sea.
