Fair enough. I respect every man's right to decide his nationality based on taxation. If that is more important than being British, that is his decision. That and sucking up to the French Government, offering to do an artwork slagging off Britain. In return for large amounts of cash, obviously.

Liz Truss dubbed ‘Brexit Queen’ after Cabinet clash over Northern Ireland
Former government lawyer dismisses UK argument over Northern Ireland Protocol
But Sir Jonathan Jones, who quit the government in 2020 over plans to overwrite parts of the Brexit agreement, said it “remains to be seen” whether the plans are compatible with international law.
Pressed on whether a potential “legal justification” for overriding the Protocol could be preventing the Good Friday Agreement being undermined, Mr Jones said: “I’ve heard and seen that as a possible argument.
“We have to wait and see what the government says. I think it’s likely to be problematic that argument because after all the government knew about the Good Friday Agreement when it entered into withdrawal agreement, including the Protocol.

Don't blame him. Must help him sell his services. Perfectly legal.
Still sticks in the craw that someone honoured for outstanding service to his country should then go out of his way to seek to sl ag us off. He could have at least sought dual nationality less publicly...
There is some truth in what Lord Frost says about the dangers to the Good Friday Agreement as things currently stand.
But the problems leading up to the Protocol were:-
1. There was a political imperative for the Cons to "get Brexit done"-at pretty much any cost. Which was always going to cause weakness in our negotiating stance
2. We had "negotiators" who were either lazy (eg Davis) or clueless (eg Frost)
The Protocol is just a polished tu rd.

The Centre is not exactly unbiased. Here is how it describes itself, on its own website:-
"The Centre for European Reform is a think-tank devoted to making the European Union work better and strengthening its role in the world. The CER is pro-European but not uncritical. We regard European integration as largely beneficial but recognise that in many respects the Union does not work well. We also think that the EU should take on more responsibilities globally, on issues ranging from climate change to security. The CER aims to promote an open, outward-looking and effective European Union."
So-it states that it believes the EU does not work perfectly. And gives as an example that the EU should do more (and therefore individual members less) on climate change and security.
So-this think tank just believes the pandemic is largely irrelevant? Really?
What next? Ireland should jointly govern Northern Ireland?
No. Sinn Fein have already proposed that.
This sort of stuff is no different to Right Wing people believing everything Breitbart says. Just people shoehorning stuff to fit their narrative.
