But what needs police? Smuggling at larne and belfast wont be policed. Only things being checked will be paperwork for the legal stuff! It's not as if theres a huge difference in what's available to what standard and at what price between EU and uk so who gives a f***?i Think the government are using that "violence from dissidents" and a get out of jail card, as he simple truth is that dissidents will be dissidents, and will attack the people of UK no matter what, whether it on the border or somewhere else makes little difference to them.
i think they looked at the border and concluded that it would be impossible to put a border up that meets the necessary standards. for those that don't live here take a look at it on google maps, there are roads that you cross the border a dozen times just driving the road. it goes threw house and towns. i know of one farm were the cows are grazed in RoI but the yard is in the north. but the lane to the yard is in the south onto a road that only leads to the north. how the f**k would you police that. there a house in londonderry were moving from the kitchen to the living room you cross the border.
from day one of brexit. the government line has been "No new infrastructure on the border" suggest to me they alway intended it to be in the irish sea
