Name those two countries and state if they have had internal borders drawn up by a foreign power, implemented and imposed by that foreign power against the overwhelming majority of the citizens of that country and particularly despised by those living closest to it, edge.
If you fail do that then maybe you will begin to understand the uniqueness of the situation in Ireland and why the people of Ireland, and those of us in the Irish diaspora in England and beyond, will not meekly consent to that border manifesting itself again, either physically or with this wondrous new “technology” just because the English never for one nano second considerd how Brexit would affect Ireland and are now looking for us to roll over and accommodate them.
To quote somebody somewhere.......to hell with your English border.
You invented it....you live with the consequences of it.
Let me iterate for the benefit of Brexiteers new to this thread....and to remind those whom have been with us from the start.
Today you would be having Brexit on very decent terms and we could all be looking toward the future.
This is what was agreed between the EU and the UK in November 2017.
Great Britain was out.
The unique situation in NI was recognised and understood and that province was to be given the mother of all sweetheart deals.
It would remain in the UK and stay, to all intents and purposes, in the EU.
That deal was sunk because of the DUP and the ERG.
And you have wound up with the prospect of that deal encompassing the whole of the UK.
So if any Brexiteer is feeling sorry for themselves this morning, I heard a depressed Rees Mogg practically crying into his corn flakes this morning, they have good cause so to do.
But don’t point the finger of blame at the EU.
Don’t look towards Dublin for a scapegoat.
Do not even fault the hapless Mrs. May for this.
Look towards the real culprits to see why you are still in the EU today.
Blame Rees Mogg.....Johnson.....the preposterous Francois....that Dodds fellow....and our old friend Sammy Tache among many others in Westminster.
It is purely because they have peddled the fiction that Northern Ireland is no different from Northern England, when it very obviously is, that is leading you down the route to either No Deal penury or a second Referendum or indeed no Brexit at all.
Happy Non Brexit Day, chaps
