    This is an excellent commentary on the present bizarre stand-off. In the end, PM will insist we are leaving the customs union, NI will have a customs frontier with the South, but we will erect no infrastructure at the border.https://twitter.com/brexitcentral/status/987301553722753026 …

        Why not just have a No Deal then afterwards come to a mutually acceptable deal on the border. We hold all the cards. The EU hold NONE.

        Absolutely. The UK will not put up infrastructure at the border and in the end neither will the Irish Republic. It is a great pity that the term ‘hard’ has been introduced as a pejorative in this debate by those against the UK leaving the EU.

        Looking forward to watching the EU force the Republic police and enforce a 'hard' border which no-one in the British Isles wants, and with the Republic's biggest trading partner. Especially knowing how porous other EU land borders are.

        Hilarious. Brexiters said Brexit was all about taking back control, and in particular taking back control of borders, yet they are now countenancing a completely open border with the EU. Good luck controlling immigration with no borders.

        After Brexit how many people will go from EU to ROI to NI to GB to London knowing they have no longer have the right to stay or get benefits?

        Probably quite a few, especially of the kind that Brexiters were so concerned about in the 1st place. This is going to turn an issue of legal immigration into an illegal immigration problem.

        We can deal with illegal immigrants better than if they have a right to stay and claim benefits.

        Again I find it hilarious that Brexit was supposed to be about taking back control. Seems to be all about giving up control of borders.

        Immigration control. No way to control who comes in or out.
