I am sure the moderators are quite able to make any decisions
regarding the conduct of the forum without any prompting from
the contributors to the debates, ( such as they are?)
Imo, the threads will die a natural death when when one and all get
truly pissed off??
Let the free market prevail !!!
I shall continue to visit Brexit threads as long as there are problems to be addressed with Brexit, or BRINO as I often put it.
I visit whenever I see new posts being made on the subject, as this is as good a place as any in which to learn of developments, especially if posts include evidence found in the public arena.

Or don't you understand what a question is, because that is what the OP is all about?
That might be true for now, but:
1 The ratification was only a few days ago. Officially Brexit is done & dusted and what's left is just (in effect) crossing the t's and dotting the i's.
2 If a certain contributor didn't post multiple times in every possible thread and if myself and others didn't need to correct the errors they post, the flurry would instead have been a slow trickle.
IMHO this subforum risks being about as relevant as a dedicated thread on Tony Blair or the Falklands war.
Outdated and of little relevance to today.
But you will note I said "risks being"; not "is".
The longer it continues the more that risk becomes reality IMHO.
There's a "politics" thread elsewhere that is probably well-suited for whatever happens from this point forwards.
Of course, if you'd rather see the thread continue as is and again become dominated by interlopers set only on disruption you only have to say - but there are other regular contributors here besides yourself and their wishes deserve equal consideration.
Which is why I asked the question originally in the opening post.

As said: your lot ratified the deal - despite threats that because of what you're wittering on about they would refuse to do so BTW.
Am I to take your ongoing tactics as as a tacit refusal to reform from your ways and become a more-reasonable participant in these forums?

January 2020: UK and EU ratify and sign the WA of which the Protocol on NI is part. the WA explicitly states that the Protocol on NI has to be implemented by the end of the transition period i.e. 31 December 2020.
31 January 2020: The WA enters into force.
A few weeks later: Johnson triggers article 16 to unilaterally and permanently overwrite the Protocol on NI with his Internal Market Bill, something he only backed down from much later after the EU initiated legal proceedings.
Are you asking whether I still think brexit a stupid thing to do?
I do not mean that brexiters are generally stupid; I mean, that stupid persons are generally brexiters.
Free after John Stuart Mill's quote.

AND AGAIN you stray off-topic AND still refuse to reply:

You do realise that your continued actions and your refusal to engage when I've asked so reasonably amount to an admission that you're trolling do you?

The internal market bill is a UK bill.

It is obvious to me that the subject still has some life left in it as

Donkeyman! 👍👍
You can see for yourself from now on just who "tries to shut down debate" in this part of the forum when it resorts to the same poster insisting upon the last word in every single thread.
I've got better things to do with my life than counter spurious & off-topic posts if as you say nobody else is bothered (and no that's not a "flounce" but a simple statement of fact) so I will leave you to enjoy it.
No poking the bear please or you will get a short sharp "troll" response.
