It's interesting to see some of the comment's for Henry Hill's article of the legal ruling: LINK. Ignorance of the subtlety of what constitutes the UK legal system appears widespread amongst the Tory Party's Hard Right.

Lord Ashcroft's polling for Northern Ireland:

Lord Ashcroft: My Northern Ireland polling. Six out of ten voters there accept the backstop. But only one in five Unionists do so.

No doubt uncomfortable reading for the DUP, but it also highlights the continuing effects of religious sectarianism on NI political process.
