Wait, I'm a little confused by this: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jan/03/police-reinforcements-for-northern-ireland-in-case-of-no-deal-brexit-1000-officers-training-trouble-hard-border … Is this saying that, should the UK hard Brexit, that they'd.....close off Northern Ireland from the rest of Ireland? That seems like a *very* bad idea.

And, the Good Friday agreement established an interesting 2 point agreement: Most people in N.Ireland want to be in the UK. But, a significant amount want to join Ireland. Thus, why it's left up to the people through democracy as to where they belong.

So, given that this basically just happened to the UK with Brexit ("We vote to leave the EU!") it'd be *crazy* hard for the UK to argue that the people of N.Ireland couldn't also vote to leave the UK. Shall we call N.Ireland leaving the UK..NIxit? Ohhhh, that's a good pun.
