>>What to be done about the part of the community that wants alignment with GB?
I think we probably violently agree. It's easy for NI to align with GB and remove the Irish Sea customs border if we have a customs union for goods for UK and EU but they have painted themselves into a corner by rejecting that.
This is the hijack bit. They might have a mandate for Brexit (although I don't think 51.89/48.11 was mandate for all the money and effort wasted so far) but they certainly don't have a mandate for the hard Brexit they have pursued. Now they want to burn all our boats so that their successors can't use them, whatever the people want.
People can cope with not getting the election result they want. But when the government then starts changing the rules of good governance and taking the pith generally, they rightly get upset.
Labour is a feeble opponent, sadly. It should be much further ahead in the polls given the awful mess of the last 12 years and the depths of abjection plumbed by Johnson and his accessories in moral turpitude.
