So border checks on stuff from NI onto the mainland? An internal UK border?
Try again.

Border between N & S Ireland is out of the question

it wont solve it, infact it will inflame the whole area again, but that is what the EU insist on apparently

Quite.
As of now, there simply isnt a solution. Well, not one that will be acceptable to all.

I dont think they are that arsed mate. They dont need to be.
The obvious workable solution would be a reunification of Ireland, but currently, thats just not gonna happen.
Not being a tit about this, just that a few raised these issues ages ago, and were palmed off with tripe.
Yup, a border between NI and GB. but both remain in the UK. This would get a majority of support if put to a UK wide referendum I think.

So its either a border between N & S Ireland (highly unlikely / never happen)
Border between NI & UK (splitting the Union / wouldn't get through parliament ?)
Allowing free movement of goods and people (going against the referendum result, 17M voters kicking off - can't see any politial party trying that one)
Can't think of any other options tbh
And all the people involved in the decision have their own agendas (and I include the EU in this).
Good luck getting anthing sorted out unless S Ireland have a referendum and vote to leave the EU as well in the next couple of months

Simple really.
Those parties are irrelevant in the voting lobbies at Westminster.
It is just a pity one of those parties didn’t have nearly as many elected MPs as the DUP
Then May would not be able to be so cavalier about their opinions and those of their voters.

Not being in Ireland, it's hard for me to judge but is anyone putting pressure on SF to take their seats?

Basically annexing part of the UK ?
No not really.
SF are on one hand very vocal about Brexit and on the other hand content to sit quietly and watch the disaster unfold.
No, northern ireland would remain in the UK. Politicians would still be elected to Westminster, the currency would still be STG, the measurements still miles, still the NHS etc. The only thing that would change is the trading zone.
The proposed backstop is the only workable solution. NI would continue to enjoy the much needed benefits of the customs union; Unionists get to remain in the U.K. and there is no semblance of a physical border to appease Nationalism.
