UK 'proposes customs centres on both sides of border'

[NotAllThere]

I think you'll find that I approved.

No wonder you did it privately.

Before I answer your question, could you explain whow you would run a "Digital border"?

Ok so it would work something like this

The Mersey Gateway Project

Which is a completely digital toll bridge - no toll booth just pay online within 24 hours (or buy a pass like we have).

Anyway you just extend this idea ..

So for example lets say you are driving a lorry which is scheduled to arrive in ROI and then go through the border into NI (why you would do that instead of just landing at an NI port I do not know - but whatever) so all you need to do is ensure that when completing your paperwork the reg number of the relevant vehicle is included in the details. As you go through the border area the cameras pick this up and as long as paperwork checks out all is okay.

You could also if you really wanted to have a lane or two where you could do a manual border check.

As for the locals - well there is a way for them to register to cross the border with no charge - obviously any trade will be subject to the standard trade rules and if this needs to be enforced then spot checks like on any other border crossing will be in force.

So you see not really that difficult is it.

It's a shame it wasn't highlighted more, before the referendum, that the Irish border was such a thorny issue.

Perhaps it was mentioned but I don't remember it being flagged as a potential show stopper.

Thanks for that Dave.

What a dog's breakfast. Almost as if Boris doesn't want a deal at all
Pity OPM wasn't on the negotiatating team

Can you actually explain what is so bad about a frictionless boarder between NI and ROI?

And also can you explain why all of a sudden we are interested in the internal border issues of the EU?

The Uk will have a border with the EU - like when i go to France I need to go through some sort of border control - that will remain in fact the only thing that will change is going directly to ROI from the UK or NI I imagine.

I'm afraid your stupidity is different class. You haven't grasped this issue in the slightest, have you?

Go on then, spell it out, regale us with your in-depth analysis.

FFS man, you're like JTB but without the personality!
