Looking at the latest polls in Scotland a massive border infrastructure in the North of England now looks inevitable. Wales won't be far behind.
The UK will be carved up and covered in massive border infrastructures and red tape.

Originally posted by Mordac View PostYou make it sound like my idea. So just to be clear, it is a border, but it isn't?
It's not a French border.
It's not an EU border.
It's a UK internal border.
I doubt it's your idea, but you're the one that is saying a border isn't a border, and that it's just like an airport.

Originally posted by WTFH View PostIf the government call it an Internal Border, that's what they see it as.
And since you are so knowledgeable, at what point will a vehicle have cleared the border and be "free" to travel around the UK, is it before or after they go through the internal border?
Back to your airport analogy, if an airport has passport control for outbound passengers, at what point are they in their destination country? Hint: It's generally not until they actually arrive at their destination. Not all the passengers in an airport are going to the same destination.
So, unless the UK cedes Kent to the French and France put up a border control there, then no, you won't be seeing "Welcome to France" signs in Kent.

When you arrive at Heathrow, you come off the plane and then go through passport control. You're stuck in a small area with no means of escape.
You've not driven 20 miles on your own, where you're free to go wherever you like.
And when you depart from Heathrow? There's no passport control at T4 or T5, and the other terminals are rarely manned.
(*Apologies for the probably crap French)

But what about Felixstowe, and Peterhead and....??
