Brexit

I do not think in the short term we will see any immediate upturn in violence

However there are already well-advanced plans for legal civil disobedience and organised action to remove any infrastructure apparatus or technology sited to enforce a border.

 Whilst we welll know that the chinless wonder Bullingdon types would struggle to find Ireland on a map let alone understand or care about the imposition of a hard border the determination not to have lives turned upside down is galvanising support against Brexit and in favour of unity

On a lighter note to underline the absurdity of trying to enforce a border I highlight a couple of scenarios which the bumbling jingoists need to get their head around

The border despite the way it looks on your tv weather maps is not a straight line. It runs through rivers towns even buildings. A pub ( now closed) had the unusual feature whereby the main lounge was in the North with the ladies loos in the South

One village has the border right along the white lines on one of its streets- the sight of a red post box ( Royal Mail)  on one side of the street facing a green one ( An Post) on the other is  often snapped by tourists.

Farmers fields straddle the border and in some areas if a hard border were to be imposed there could be up to a 11mile journey for the land owner to go from one field to the next

There are literally hundreds of crossing points and during our conflict the British army even blew up many of the roads to make them impassable. However with the ingenuity and determination of locals, Sundays often saw ' Road opening community days" whereby locals and supporters would gather to fill in the holes caused by the British army

Bottom line whilst the British never have and never will understand Ireland they have excelled themselves in the bungling bizarre ill thought out Brexit re the border

The obvious answer is that it’s not just our border. So we go no deal and let the EU sort it out.

Any trouble is then on their head.

Exactly the type of narrow view little Englander thinking that has contributed to the current Brexit mess

So if people are killed or wounded, their families will have the solace of knowing that it wasn’t Britain’s fault. 
There’s a great article in today’s Independant about our first day of leaving the U.K. with no deal.  No scaremongering or project fear, just a realistic description of what will happen.

So, The Independent's not scaremongering........ much, is it ?

All of a sudden it's changed from from what COULD happen, to what WILL happen.

I hope what WILL happen won't include any British ministers flying to Brussels to negotiate a new trade deal. What with there being no more flights anymore.

Worth a read. Informative, NOT scaremongering, just preparing for “possibilities”.

[Scunner]

Not ‘facts’ then this time.

[Ray1951]

Oh how I wish I was as perfect as you and some of your cronies.

[Scunner]

Long way to go yet Ray, keep trying though

I don't have any cronies as far as I know though.
