Please be gentle with me ....... why can’t NI stay in the EU as it did vote Remain?
Customs Border could then be the coast of the rest of U.K.

I don't have the exact figures to hand, but well over half of NI exports go to GB.

Why would NI put a border up with its largest trading partner and split themselves from this market?

Also, it would split NI off from the rest of the 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'.

Being fairly thick, and very cynical, I just don't understand why the Irish border was not a problem when the original EU-proposed Canada type deal was on offer, but that it became one subsequently once the EU saw that TM was on their side. Clearly it is not an 'impossible' matter to overcome for the EU, because they 'overcame' it back then.

I'll be grateful to any able to enlighten me as to what - other than TM's selling out the UK - changed to make the matter 'impossible'.

Thanks in advance... :)
If you stir up a muddy pond you will never see the fish clearly .
Even my wife questioned me about Northern Ireland this morning
Do we have to spend the rest of our lives in chains because they cant sort out 2% of our trade
