    Thanks, Bob. Apparently there's a precedent between Norway and Sweden. There is already a tax, VAT, excise and currency border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland policed by administrative and technical tools.

    Col and the gang here have nothing in the way of any solution just the odd tell them to **** off

    We are British blah blah blah just leave

    Europe has acted in a dignified way

    Blinkered nationalistic and ignorant to the facts

    They all run off when challenged with the question where’s your post Brexit solution

    Europeans are better people

    This is based on evidence from the Irish Chamber of Commerce! They have a vested interest in trying to press for anything that brings the unification of Ireland closer. In my view, both Ireland and the EU have used this issue as artificial leverage in the EU negotiations. International borders are policed increasingly using technology. If the odd lorry has to be stopped and checked, it's no worse than the occasional check at Dover for illegal immigrants.

    Did you answer my question?
    Did you ****!

    You carry on loving your EU masters.

    17.4 million people disagree with you.

    That's a contrived and hollow argument because Cameron, Osborne, Gove, Johnson and others all made it clear in representations leading up to the referendum vote that voting Leave meant leaving the Single Market and Customs Union. May said subsequently she would honour that... and hasn't.

    Bob has offered time and time again and that from a non voting poster the voice of reason on here yet gets attacked every time ... not on imo

    As said Brexiteers simply have no answers imo

    No, it isn’t, because no one was obliged to follow any of the coverage before. You could have been on the moon for a year and still voted. All that matters is what was in black and white in front of you.

    The original idea of the EEC was good, a trade agreement that let goods move freely across the European continent, but it has mutated into a power mad machine that produces nothing, manufactures nothing, grows nothing, nor buys nor sells anything and I for whatever reason cannot see it’s justification or purpose for existing, so I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on our feelings towards the machine.
    I suppose I get irritated that because of my voting leave, people assume they have the right to wish me dead, call me a racist, tell me I’m stupid call me an uneducated brexitshiteer and thus I should recognise their opinion while they deride mine, and that is something I cannot and will not accept, everyone is entitled to an opinion and just because someone disagrees with mine, this does not automatically make their’s the right one.

    Norway - in the Single Market.
    Sweden - in the EU and thrrefore Single Market.

    Makes that sort of arrangement feasible.

    UK being outside of the customs union and single market makes it impossible.

    Trouble is, as arguments continue, and will clearly continue to rumble on in the UK, those in the EU will be in no rush to sort it, and in no rush to help out. The opinions of those I've spoken to in Paris could be summarised with the phrase; 'It's your mess, you clear it up.' One of my wife's colleagues asked her today if her country had gone mad. The EU will just keep ticking on as normal.

    That’s a bit of a silly answer.
