Where’s the border this week?

[The_Equalizer]

All areas that voted remain should be given dual EU and UK memberships, there will be border checks around each area brexit voters will be refused in.

I'd miss Scotland, but on the whole you can keep the Remain bits.

Cambridge is nice.

I'm quite sure it'll not be anywhere as near as bad as it's been made out to be.

In terms of the DUP, it's easy to see them as simply bible bashers, but they are pretty pragmatic when it comes to business and trade. Where they are quite right is that there cannot be a customs barrier between NI and GB.

When you say that Ulster is the 'defacto term for NI (at least for Unionists)', that really means that Ulster is a term that is incorrectly used by some Unionists for political / propaganda purposes. Just as Republicans use the term 'six counties' for political / propaganda purposes. Republicans do not use the term 'Northern Ireland'. Unionists do not correctly use the term 'Ulster'.

The correct terminologies are:

Northern Ireland for the province of the UK
Ulster for nine northern Counties of the island of Ireland

And a majority of people in Ulster are Roman Catholic.

It only becomes difficult, when people misuse terminology for political purposes. I get equally frustrated by permie colleagues in Dublin who 'correct' my documentation from 'the UK' to 'Northern Ireland and the UK'. The feckers accuse me of cultural imperialism, but they usually make the same mistake later on so I call them West Brits.

I do chuckle that the term West Brit is still used. Just correct their mistake and write 'C-, could try harder' in red at the bottom of the page. It's the ones the change it to 'The North' you need to watch.

I'd typed exactly that and then not posted. I would would have thought that one defence would be to imply the lowering of business rates in Northern Ireland to undercut RoI should an agreement not be forthcoming. It's in both RoI and UK's interest to make this work.

Much amusement all round on Good Morning Ireland today at silly Mr Davies.

I'm sure there is - certainly amongst the Sinn Fein voting morons who see "Brexit" as a back door to a unified Ireland.

A referendum on a UI is the one thing I could see reigniting 'The Troubles'. Imagine Scots Indy Ref, Brexit and a good dose of sectarianism/triumphalism rolled into one.

Scotland's ok apart from one major problem, its people. A bit like France really.

We(The UK) and they(Eire) can't afford unification.

I'll get this in before the Remainers...

Doesn't mean people won't vote for it.
