It isn't really an odd attitude by the Spanish Dorking as it was the UK deciding to pull out of the EU Customs Union as part of Brexit thus ending the free movement of goods across the GIB/Spain (EU) border that has caused the problem. That's why Northern Ireland is in the CU so it eliminates a hard border between it and the Republic (EU). It's because it's in the nature of the post-Brexit trade agreement negotiated by Boris Johnson that free movement of goods, services and people between the UK and EU ends. For better or worse that's the reality of what 'taking back control' as sold by Brexit's advocates in the referendum looks like.
