"No such statement from EU leadership."

Precisely. No statement that they WANT a hard border. No statement from Dublin that they WANT a hard border. No evidence that either WANTS a hard border. But YOU asserted, without qualification, that they BOTH want a hard border. I'm a very simple man, Keith. I haven't twisted anything. I'm simply saying that you made something up, hoping to get it past us, and you are going to the ends of the earth to deny it. You are insulting and abusing us by taking that stance. You are assuming that we are too stupid to see through you. Well we're not. Vulgar and fraudulent. That's you through and through.
