Old Boy, he made the rules that he then broke. That would seem to be lacking in common sense.

That may or may not be true - you don't supply a link. But two wrongs don't make a right and we don't have as much clout with the WTO as the EU does.

Johnson's received plenty of criticism from all corners on this. If the Protocol is not working, he can invoke Article 16 - that's the exact purpose it's designed for.
Why is he not doing this? Because he just wants a dispute to distract from the waning economy and his equally waning popularity.
What Remainer sabotage do you mean?
