No because it's not possible to control it. The PSNI don't really police South Armagh. The UK side of the border is lawless. What are 30 customs officers going to do? They'd need arm support.

We'll never die

Fear mongering? Dear oh dear. Stating facts is not fearmongering.

Reads like another Daily Mail headline to me.

Makes you laugh that a lot of the left wing remoaners believe anything that two unelected presidents within the EU have to say.

They moan that the UK are not paying their way, then they moan that the UK are willing to meet some way to progress talks.

So much talk of the Tories doing the deal with the devil in DUP. But no talk of Merkel failing after 4 weeks of talks to agree a deal with a left-wing party. (I think it's in the UK's best interest Merkel stays in power)

And people are ashamed to be British.....

It's an awful time for world politics. Trump, Tory and Labour both massively split, Merkel failing to agree a coalition and Macron's poor approval ratings.

Set up costs plus running costs in total for the same benefit. Replicate that across every other agency and FTA we're pulling out of...
