The Northern Ireland Director of the umbrella UK business organisation, the CBI, has described as ludicrous the details about border checks and said they are going nowhere.
Speaking to BBC Radio, Angela McGowan says the proposals would jeopardise the peace process and put the Irish and Northern Ireland economies at risk.
She said the plan in the so called 'non paper' would amount to something worse than the previous border that was in place and that it flies in the face of all the promises that for Northern Ireland no border would be put on the island.
She said to have checks along the border in this fashion amounts to ludicrous proposals and in some way "smacks to me that they [The British Government] don't want to be taken seriously, they are perhaps not looking to get a deal if they are putting this on the table at this stage".
Ms McGowan said under the proposals companies would have to stop, there would be queue and checks, lorries and vehicles would have to pull over, there would be interruptions to the supply chain, it will interrupt the agri-food sector in Northern Ireland.

Whatever that nobhead puts forward will be rejected; and if he comes back to the Commons trying to get anything like that passed it'll be punted.
The people of Britain will soon have their say on Johnson and his backwoodsmen, and on the neo-fascists who back them up on the street. I have supreme faith that he'll never be given a mandate.

Just reading that page from your link and it seems some Tory beaut has claimed the new British border in Ireland will be "world class".
Jesus actually wept. I pray to God these clowns get swept out of office asap and there is another referendum to save us from this catastrophe.

Hahahaha, May went into that election with a majority and a 20 point poll lead, and ended it being propped up by the DUP. She only called it as it was being predicted she’d win a 70-100 seat majority and that’d be enough to make the ERG cranks inert.

Dont put your faith in the divvies screaming blue murder about Brexit: they are exactly the type of lumpen mass that never get out and vote. They're just moaning arseholes.
4/5 week election campaign...when it comes...and it could be way off, btw...Brexit will be one of a number of issues in the minds of voters. 5 years of that lying man-child...that will concentrate minds beautifully.
Hung parliament. No question.

I can’t see it honestly. Putting all politics aside, Boris is just too big for Corbyn. May made a humongous mistake and made it worse by making it about herself, while Corbyn enjoyed his new found fame. Boris is different and everyone knows it.....

Seems Johnson attended a DUP event tonight where his name was sung from the rafters and Big Arlene and Jeffrey D were clapping him on the back all the way to the stage.
This is the man who has today reversed the British government's 2017 pledge to avoid a hard border and customs checks in Ireland post Brexit. No surprise then that the DUP were chanting his name.
Impartial my arse. This will not end well at all. Shame on the lot of them.
