Northern Ireland General Discussion

[Epaminondas]

From a few weeks ago, but I haven't seen this story posted yet:

The DUP acting like sore losers after coming in second place in the last election can't be helping them, let alone Northern Ireland as a whole.

I've lived close to the border. In fact I crossed over it only a few days ago - absolutely empty as usual. Closing it is just not possible without some form of military intervention.

The 200+ crossings are too many and the border cuts through private property which cannot be seized outside of martial law, which for obvious reasons would not serve the purpose of either unionists or conservatives.

This is all saber rattling to gain leverage over the UE, and should be ignored like the tantrum it is.
