The absurdity of Brexit trundles on with Rishi Sunak’s latest effort to make the Good Friday Protocol work. I had always understood that citizens of one country shared equal rights and privileges. However, this is now clearly not the case. Citizens born in Northern Ireland will have certain rights denied to those born and living in England, Wales and Scotland. These rights have been written into the constitution to get round the awkward conundrum of being in the EU and not being in the EU.

I just wonder how many other mature democracies in the world have a dual class citizenship system? Government official and slave-workers in some sub-saharan mish-mash perhaps.

Whatever the case dividing the United Kingdom population into two separate castes depending on whether they live in Northern Ireland or not is just another demonstration of the surrealistic absurdity of the Brexit machinatory system which has already ground down the majority of the populace of those islands into a semi-incoherent pulp.
