Similarly there's nothing in the Good Friday Agreement that states the UK (or RoIreland for that matter) have to stay members of the EU.

We clearly have opposite view points on this. You believe the article 50 extension was illegal, but you also think the good friday agreement is trivial enough to throw out.
As someone who lived in a city that was dirty bombed by the IRA (which was then covered up to have just been a normal explosion), grew up with daily reports of casualties on TV and had family serve: i'm not particularly keen of risking a return to the bad old days.
The problem is artical 50 was triggered way too early. We should have worked out what we wanted to try negotiate (and take time to prepare for future logistical obstacles) before we started the deathclock on achieving those aspirations.
