That graphic makes Boris’ bridge look like an escape route.
Failte Romhat Frank.
Now how do you propose solving the British border in Ireland to allow Brexit as you see it to happen.
This is your chance to shine Frank, take the microphone and don’t let me down.
I often think that unionism’s last gambit will be to float re-partition as a “soloution” to its diminishing dominance.
That map perfectly illustrates the relatively small area of Ulster where unionism is dominant......but alas they have Belfast right at the heart of it and that is no Unionist bastion.

@ Frank is more interested in Goths at the minute, sorry
Funny, as it's also the area where hurling is dominant as a sport.
I wonder is there a correlation

Is Johnson taking the piss ??? Alternative to the backstop ?? Really ??
UK proposes customs posts on both sides of border in bid to replace backstop
'The UK has proposed the creation of a string of customs posts along both sides of the Irish border as part of its effort to replace the backstop, RTÉ News understands. The ideas, which would be highly controversial, are contained in proposals sent from London to the European Union - extracts of which have been seen by RTÉ News. The proposals would effectively mean customs posts being erected on both sides of the border, but located perhaps five to ten miles 'back' from the actual land frontier. This is because under British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the UK is insisting that Northern Ireland remain completely outside the EU’s customs union for industrial goods and agri-food products.
Even more controversial is a proposal that the goods moving from a so-called "customs clearance site" on the northern side of the border to a similar site on the southern side would be monitored in real time using GPS via mobile phone data, or tracking devices placed on trucks or vans.
The ideas are contained in one of four so-called 'non-papers' submitted by UK officials during recent technical discussions in Brussels.
Under the British proposals, both the UK and EU would create what are believed to be called "customs clearance sites", but to all intents and purposes a customs post.'
.......so effectively the installation of a hard border on both sides is Johnson's "alternative" to the backstop. Whatever happened to the lie that "the UK will have no border checks ?? "
This has already been laughed out of town by the opposition parties as it shortly will be by the government and the EU.
Proof it was ever needed that Johnson has been bluffing about wanting a deal and trying his utmost to enforce a hard Brexit. What a cad.

So this is the famous "hi tech alternative options"! Would be funny it wasnt so potentially dangerous
There goes the whole ‘the UK doesn’t want a hard border’ schtick.
Who in gods name would they get to work in these posts??
We all knew that this would be the solution
They don't give a toss
The border and NI/ROI was merely an afterthought, when in fact is has been the most crucial issue from day one
