Well if that's the case, without a hard border in Ireland I have no idea what the arrangement can be that doesn't undermine the Brexit means Brexit brigade We're the Arthur over ere!

Can anyone remember the Irish border situation being discussed or being given a clue that this might happen in the run up to the referendum?

Crazy situation. So, Northern Ireland offered special terms on Brexit which the DUP oppose (which if May didn't need their votes wouldn't be an issue). Now Scotland will presumably want special terms but won't get them- because she doesn't need the SNP votes. Real Catch 22 at this point- rather worrying. If the PM hadn't stupidly lost her majority this wouldn't be an issue!

Maybe people should have thought of this before casting their vote in the referendum. Edit. They did, well in Northern Ireland anyway. Edited by nickgusset (04 Dec 2017 8.56pm)

I reckon re-unification will happen before 2050. They are obviously Irish but with the right to call themselves British should they so wish. 63% of Northern Irish don't including some Protestants/Unionists. They prefer Ulstermen which is rational.

Edited by Stirlingsays (06 Dec 2017 1.11am) It's the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain, it's part of Ireland. It' just in the UK. So people from Northern Ireland are Irish not British. Hence their automatic ability to claim Irish citizenship and get an Irish passport. Plenty of people born and raised in NI have an Irish passport and don't have a UK passport. Plenty of Irish people live one in NI and work in RoI or vice versa. If you care about self-determination do you support a border poll? The stick that the Tories should be using to keep the DUP in line but are too weak and too scared to use.

David Davis just admitted to the Brexit select committee that the impact assessments he said had been done "in excruciating detail" have in fact not been done. A liar and an incompetent fool who hasn't done his prep.
