Sir, – Bobby McDonagh can spin it as he likes (“Brexit would be as dead as the dodo if it hadn’t been nailed to a political perch”, Opinion & Analysis, February 11th), but in the real world there is no way that it can possibly be in the longer-term interests of Northern Ireland unionists for the region to remain permanently subject to continuously evolving EU laws while Britain gradually diverges from those laws.
