Brexit - NI Protocol renegotiations?

Jul 21 2021 from The Guardian

The Brexit referendum was in June 2016. It is now July 2021, and the UK wants to renegotiate the Northern Ireland Brexit Protocol.

If it is not blindingly obvious already, then this should make it crystal clear that no-one in the Brexit camp thought about Northern Ireland before the referendum, or after it for that matter.

The EU of course ruled out any renegotiation, but that has never stopped the UK side.

Brexit means Brexit, but not this kind of Brexit, maybe that kind or Brexit, or maybe something with bells and whistles, or maybe with the cake we just ate, or let me think for a while, it is just on the tip of my tongue…

This saga reminds me of Monsters vs. Aliens - “I may not have a brain, gentlemen, but I have an idea”, except that in the movie the idea worked.
