Under the circumstances you are delusional if you think the EU is going to roll over for this British violation of a treaty. If the Brits do not adhere to the terms of the treaty they signed there will be retribution from the EU.

Desert Tortoise,
I neither support or condone Johnsons government for attempting to circumvent treaty law.
To a break, knowingly, this signed settlement is a breech of International Law.

There is ample time to do so.

This is commonly known as bringing infringement proceedings.

Johnson shall NEVER comply with that ECJ, he knows UK doesnt have a stand over there!
