It's only politicians that make this difficult. I know of someone who was drafted into the Brexit department from the private sector and she gave up after four weeks. Every department is a separate and competeing organisation that is out to protect itself. She said that there were over a hundred government officials and workers BUT she advised getting rid of...

Thanks o the link. Ony is an has-ben and was alwas an idiot.
Your link provided an explanation rom a brexter of how the Irish non-border prblem will be solved.
// they are using the Irish border as their proxy, ignoring the technological solutions that solve the issue." //
After using the Magic Money Tree to buy the DUP, it is reassuring to hear that some yet uninvented app will by pass the Customs Union and allow frictionless Movement. I wonder why this is the first time we have heard of this genius solution (I hope he wasn’t just making it up).

I'm fed up to my back teeth on these various politicians with their tales of gloom if we leave the EU.
Imagine back in 1939 if we had their like, frightening us with tales of woe if we declared war on Germany and Japan.
Where are all our food and goods to come from?
What about all the 'Made in Japan' cheap tac?
We will all be bombed and people will die, etc, etc etc.
But did we take any notice? No, and that should be our attitude now with much less to lose, than we ever had to lose in 1939.

//So was Thatcher\\
The most stupid comment I have seen in a long time on here. British territory was invaded by an armed aggressor and she defended it and reclaimed it. Would Labour have done the same? I very much doubt it. Thatcher deserves the highest praise, not condemnatory insults, for what she did.

Migrants will not re-route through Ireland because nothing will be different from now. We already have a frictionless border and no identity checks.
There will be an increase in smuggling goods that have a dieren cost in the EU and post Brexit Britain, but I don’t hing anyone is suggesting people smuggling will divert to that route. Calais can and will keep their jungle.

I've said this once or twice before, but I'll say it again: only the EU wants a border on the island of Ireland. The UK doesn't want one; Ireland doesn't want one. If the Irish are forced by their Lords and Masters in Brussels to erect one (which will only operate north to south as the UK has no intention of providing one in the opposite direction) then that is a matter for them to resolve with the EU.
The UK cannot be held to ransom by the EU on this non-issue. It certainly cannot be told by Brussels that part of the UK, however small, must remain captive as an EU enclave. It would be helpful if the EU could demonstrate precisely what problems a land border with the UK will present and what risks it thinks needs to be abated. It's a great shame they do not demonstrate the same diligence with their southern coasts, particularly in Spain, Italy and Greece, where millions of people who present a clear and identifiable threat to the stability of the continent have been allowed to pass. Instead they concentrate on the "threat" posed by a few people passing across a border that has not been enforced for a hundred years and where permanent migration is minimal and manageable. The thought of zillions of pounds worth of unregulated goods pouring across the border must also give them many sleepless nights.
The EU has no intention of negotiating our departure in Good Faith to the benefit of all concerned and this is just one example of the many hinderances it prefers to place in the way. This problem should have been scotched last December when the "fudge" was contrived to move the talks on. Mrs May preferred to kick the matter into the long grass (after first trying to sell out the people of NI before parting with £40bn). Well the long grass has now been cut ready for the Spring and the PM needs to get her act together and start acting in the interests of the UK. So I'll not hold my breath.
