Wrong shaggy there is a border between southern and Northern Ireland it may not be physical but it exists. Both countries have different tax laws and different currencies. There is a customs border which the tax authorities on both sides police. The fact you are unaware of that is no surprise to me. There is no way a hard border will ever be installed all we are talking about is amending existing soft border arrangement or even leaving them as they are. To me that is a simple task and once all this nonsense has finished and the EU screws an extra x billion out of Britain to drag it out that what we will end up with.
There can be a border but movement of both goods and people is frictionless because UK is in the EU, don't know what you are implying.
There are still different tax rates and different currencies between the north and the south therefore there has to be regulation of some sort at the moment. There is no reason I can see why that cant continue partcularly given there is hardly any volume of trade that passes through it. And shaggy just because you live 1.8 miles from somewhere does not make you an authority. For a short time in London I had a flat quarter of a mile from the bank of england it did not make me a international banking expert. Still waiting for a coherant point from you I reckon I will be waiting a very long time
Obviously you know better than everyone else. I'm amazed you are leading the British negotiating team. You would have solved the Irish border 18 months ago.
Again no mention of the damage that will be done to the Good Friday Agreement by the imposition of a hard border. That's the internationally recognised peace agreement that ended the troubles
No answer as to how you will prevent a hard border if you crash out under WTO rules.
No suggestion as to how you will avoid a hard border once you leave the EU and become a 3rd country.
All you have left is name calling, no answers, just name calling.
Thankfully Ireland no longer dances to England's tune. You created this mess and it is up to you to come up with a workable, acceptable solution.
Though it is beginning to look as though Brexit will never be implemented.
