It’s the will of the people

That’s not my question. Who will put up a hard border in Ireland. The Eu? Ireland?

Ireland will have to if it still wants to export to the EU

[NotAllThere]

At the moment NI and Ireland are different regimes!

Okay, I know you meant trading block. Or something like that.

I still don't think the UK will breach the GFA.

What I find amazing is WTFH lecturing on violence given he is a violent git who goes round shooting anything BP on a bike.....

FTFY

In the absence of alignment between RoI and NI then both Ireland and the U.K. will put up a hard border.

Given the requirement for a country/market to secure its borders though, it’s more likely that the border will be in the Irish Sea.

[woohoo]

Really you think the Eu will force Ireland to implement a hard border resulting in violence?

So no hard border then. See not really that big an issue.

The UK is the responsible party, for leaving the SM and CU and failing to ratify the agreement it negotiated

[woohoo]

Mmm regardless it shows how the border is not really a big deal. No one will enforce a hard border. So it will be a soft border.

What’s the difference? Any type of border is, by definition, a border.

There are smarter minds than you that seem to think that it is a big deal, so forgive me if I think you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

There is a big difference between a soft and hard border in Ireland. Can’t believe you posted that question.

The rest of your statement sounds a bit simple.

Tell me how Ireland will put up a hard border. That’s the issue, not that there won’t be controls or checks. A hard border will cause violence. I’m just asking who is going to put up a hard border.

Why do you say a hard border will cause violence? It might. But it might not. The disruption to trade is pretty certain, though, whether the checks are at the border or elsewhere.
