re: #61 NO SMOCKING GUN!

If the UK crashes out of the EU, the EU doesn’t have any say in whether a hard border goes up in Ireland or not.

The Tories have spent a good portion of the last 3 years swearing up and down there would never be a hard border in Ireland, if only because doing so would effectively void the Good Friday Agreement and potentially plunge the UK back into “The Troubles.” And I’m not sure about the EU, but Pelosi served notice weeks ago that any outcome that violated the Agreement would mean no US/UK trade agreements post-Brexit. Hence desperation moves like suggesting ejecting North Ireland in order to make Brexit happen.
