    Do you have a viable solution?

    The big problem is the fact that there is no majority for Brexit once it becomes clearly defined. It only gets support if you keep it vague and unworkable.

    Until of course suitable treaties are in place that make a hard border obsolete.

    Do you have an alternative suggestion?

    Are you, in fact, Boris Johnson/Neil Fromage?

    Should London be allowed to vote to see if it wants to stay in England the UK or stay in the EU?

    Because you seem to forget, we had a referendum and leave won.

    But now you don't like the idea of coming up with a solution, so you just say "let's break up the UK into those that want to leave and those that want to remain, and give everyone a second referendum to decide"

    It's not "Taking back control" it's not about peace and prosperity. It's about selfishness Little Englanders.


    Perhaps the *flakes will understand it better: Advising you that a hard border in Ireland could well restart The Troubles is what should be called a "trigger warning".

    Can't wait to see Fromage don his khakis and head to the front line of Armagh bandit country. He'll quickly claim bone spurs or that he's too old/busy.
