Oven-ready deal melts into an Eton mess

What seems to be clear from D R Cooper’s latest submission in his ongoing commentary about the difficulties with the Irish land border (Viewpoint, January 6) is that the Prime Minister’s appeal for votes at the last General Election to ‘Get Brexit Done’was as fanciful as most of the other utterances which have marked his career of half truths and non truths.

His ‘oven-ready deal’ was nothing more than undercooked junk food, and now this unconvincing chef and his fellow kitchen staff seek to blame the EU for sticking to Boris’ botched recipe.

When nationalistic emotions overcome logic as happened in June 2016, the outcome is the Eton mess which D R Cooper finds so unpalatable.

It’s high time to wake up and smell the coffee.
