In the week when the beef factories are fighting Irish farmers in the High Court, British prime minister Boris Johnson has decided to sideline parliament to prevent them stopping his Brexit plans.
This has provoked outrage among MPs opposed to Brexit, with one proclaiming that he would have to be removed from Parliament by the police and others organising street protests.
It all makes the farmer protests at the meat factories look a low-key affair, but of course Brexit is a serious threat to Irish farmers.
