Even church leaders are not immune from the Brexit cult that accuses those who with a different opinion of being divisive (and quite often, though not in this case, unpatriotic traitors). https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/18/uk-archbishops-urge-ministers-not-to-breach-international-law-over-brexit">https://www.theguardian.com/world/202...
The relationship between a centralising government which struggles to deal with anyone else (e.g. Manchester, Scotland, London, the EU), and the pure Brexit cult for whom nothing (church, international law, economy) comes before hostility to the EU, is a dangerous one indeed.
A good example of the kind of nonsense currently coming from the pure Brexit cult (who let us recall right now want to break the Withdrawal Agreement and start a trade war with the EU). Encouraged by the UK government blaming the EU. https://twitter.com/Sunday_Gazette/status/1318067912205160449">https://twitter.com/Sunday_Ga...
EU hostility probably isn& #39;t theatre on the part of the government because it is strengthening forces which will threaten the government if they do a deal. And requiring greater guarantees for the EU if there is a deal. The path to a deal is much harder. https://twitter.com/Usherwood/status/1318079846732484609">https://twitter.com/Usherwood...

As for the idea of the EU not negotiating in good faith - clearly in the pure Brexit cult you couldn& #39;t believe otherwise. The EU standing up for their own interests = not negotiating in good faith is obviously otherwise legally untenable nonsense. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2020/10/18/eus-failure-negotiate-good-faith-calls-withdrawal-agreement/?WT.mc_id=tmgliveapp_androidshare_AwGlz72gRkVG">https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2...
