The Eire-NI border is just a tiny 0.2% of EU trade and is not important at all. Only a few lorries trickle across the border every day.
A camera and digital import system, like Destin8, already in successful operation at Felixstowe port, which handles 25 x more trade every day, can be implemented on the NI border in a flash. Problem solved.
The "backstop" is, sadly, being ruthlessly exploited by the EU and desperate Remainers to thwart a UK exit deal.
Theresa Mayhem was weak and stupid and let the EU get away with it.
Boris is stronger and smarter. He is right -- if the EU do not rip up the political backstop, just harden the NI border, and let Eire get into a panic. It will hurt Ireland far more than Britain.
We, as a country, need to be more confident, and stop our nervous self-loathing all the time.
