The Official EU results thread

[meridian]

A financial analyst on Bloomberg has floated the scenario where Boris delays Brexit for 2 years so they can work on a technical solution for the NI border. This is the only realistic scenario where he could stay as PM until 2022, the most likely outcome though is a new GE and annihilation of the Tories.

That scenario is called “the Withdrawal Agreement”.

We know. Thankfully you've got Ziggy to explain things for you.

I was taking the piss out of you and the rest of the remoaners who are clutching at straws as if their lives depended on it.

Perhaps this topic should be moved to "the other place"...

Taking into account that there are more border crossing points than there are along the US / Canada border and the EU's Eastern border combined.

hmmm. Lets just take the US/Canadian border as an example

The total length of the US Canadian border is 8891Km

The total length od the Irish border is 499kM

Given that any line is made up of an infinite number of points, i.e. any broder crossing has an infinite number of crossing points, therefore the Irish border ( 0.0561241705095 times the size of the US/Canada Border) has exactly the same number of crossing points as the US/Canada border or any other border for that matter.

Why does a border crossing have to occur and a section of tarmac. Why not a field or river? How many border crossing points are there between the Irish republic and the UK? or the UK and the USA?

I was taking the piss out of you and the rest of the remoaners who are clutching at straws as if their lives depended on it....

And I was taking the piss out of both you.

Surely that adds up to 100% Remain, why else would people vote for someone to represent their views in the EU?

A protest vote for the Brexit parties because you don't like the current politics is like drinking out of the toilet in a pub because the beer doesn't taste good...

Someone just whispered that in your ear, didn't they?

Yet another straw to grasp for.

Why do you allow yourself to get sucked in to this level of tulipe?

because I was taking the piss. Showing the futility of the argument

Risk analysis and effort vs reward. A truck with goods is not likely to use a field.

How many border crossing points are there between the Irish republic and the UK?

Northern Ireland is part of the U.K. Infinite, as you say.

or the UK and the USA?

Only a handful of ports and airports.

Again you failure to think outside the box limits you to considering methods of transportation that can only use tarmac

OK. You don't understand what a border crossing is. Noted.
