We have had another vote since the referendum in the General Election with both major parties manifestos stating they were willing to deliver the out vote. Even Billy canvassed for the Labour party knowing that, so if you voted for any of the major parties you backed the will of the people in the referendum, or did you not Know what you were voting for? You should have voted Liberal, green SNP etc. to oppose Brexit.
I must admit the proposal of a technological solution to the Irish border has long since puzzled me.Working in an internal audit environment we would get (rightly) lambasted for recommending vague and unhelpful solutions to an issue that we identify. Maybe a technological solution is the new answer! Until that dreaded question raises its head; “what do you mean?”I’d be really interested to know how technology could be deployed to avoid a hard border. Where would it come into play and what would it do? I gather there’s been some suggestion we could copy the USA / Canada model. But isn’t that a hard border?What a shambles.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47110641Jesus wept, this is like one of the threads in here on this topic.EU: If you're leaving the CU and want a trade deal with us, you have to tell us how you plan to ensure the Irish border remains open. Brexiters: Technology.EU: What technology, precisely.Brexiters: Really, REALLY clever technology.EU: Does this exist yet? Is it operational anywhere in the world?Brexiters: *mumble*EU: Right, so we'll need a backstop then, whereby the entire UK stays in the CU for as long as it takes.Brexiters: Not fair! Not fair!EU: OK then, tell us what you are proposing instead Brexiters: Technology.That's a bang on accurate summary of the past year of negotiations. Round and round the f**king hamster wheel. A bunch of second rate spivs like Barclay and Javid playing to the Tory party faithful when we need proper statesmen. It is crushingly f**king humiliating to be playing this out in public.
Christ.It's not about the technology currently available. It's about leaving the backstop WHEN it becomes available.
