    The Irish Republic hasn't existed since 1922.

    No deal = hard border.
    I think the Irish government doesn't want to have a random side from NI deciding they want to blow them up.

    If only Maggie has done that with Falklands eh?

    But then she would never have got re-elected.

    The UK needs a good war every so often.

    Farmers will switch to growing magic mushrooms underneath the solar panels they're covering their fields with. Then everyone can live with their head in the clouds, the brexit dream.

I can see Scotland joining with Ireland in a new Celtic Union that is a member of EU and is the English speaking gateway to the European market. Hopefully corporations wont be put off investing in the region due to its proximity to it's notoriously unstable neighbour where everyone is subsisting on Jam exclusively due to overproduction based on the hope that they would corner the global market (food is now too expensive to import due to the worthless pound and the Farmers forgotten how to farm due to over reliance on CAP for too many years).

    They can just dig a moat where Hadrian's Wall is.

    How wide does the water ditch need to be before it's classed as separated from the mainland?
