If we can't figure out the Irish border, what happens if Scotland join the EU?

Every time I think of that idiot I remember the comparison being made that Piers Morgan isn't the worst Piers and Jeremy Corbyn isn't the worst Corbyn. So I got confused.

We can take as read Scotland would want to join the EU and all other guff aside about, how would a land border with England possibly work?Comment

It's very simple - just have a hard border. The only reason it is not this simple in Ireland is because of the Ireland "situation" - a hard border there is simply not politically acceptable for many of the residents. No such problem exists for Scotland/England.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I found an interesting blog post about this topic:
What might a land border between the United Kingdom and a separate Scotland look like? | The Nation said No Thanks! (wordpress.com)
According to that, there are 25 public roads which cross the border. There are photos of 2 (with no houses); I don't know about the other 23.
However, one of the comments talks about people who commute between Dumfries (Scotland) and Carlisle (England). Presumably those people would need work permits for the other country and they'd need to go through a passport checkpoint every day. If they work from home, that might raise other questions, similar to "Can I take my laptop to France for my UK client?"Comment
