We all hoped the NI-Ireland border would be a bit of a golden bullet, as you cannot maintain the GFA AND the Union as it stands AND not have a trade agreement with the EU. But the shysters managed to kick the can sufficiently far down the road to hoodwink enough people to vote for them in December.
Given the headbangers are intent on no-deal, either the GFA or the Union (by way of imposing the necessary hard border between NI and rUK) has to be sacrificed.
The international ramifications of trashing the GFA are obviously massive, as the Democrats have reiterated today.
But then, imposing a hard border in the Irish Sea would lead to the destruction of the Union (and hopefully lead to the unification of Ireland) and that would be a huge embarrassment domestically, especially given the name of the party.
Of course, the 'solution' this bunch of arseholes comes up with is simply to cheat; pretend international laws and conventions don't apply, and say they will create no hard border anywhere. They keep talking about WTO applying.
But that is impossible.
Under WTO rules, you cannot discriminate between different countries you trade with under WTO rules. Therefore, if the UK leaves an open border between Ireland and NI with no hard/customs border between the 'Ireland trade area' - which would essentially be the EU - and rUK, it then cannot impose hard/customs borders between the UK and any other country is trades with under WTO rules. In other words, if it applies a no-tariff system between Ireland (for legal reasons, the EU) and UK, it cannot then apply tariffs to goods entering the UK from any other country.
They know this, but their MO is to heap the blame elsewhere. Sickeningly, enough ignorant pricks in this country will accept the lies, and believe the bullsh*t that Johnson is sticking it to the Brussels Bureaucrats.
