Makes sense for Northern Ireland and Scotland to
stay in the EU as Britain leaves. Then there would
be no need for border controls between NI and Eire.


But would need then between Scotland and England, where none have
existed for centuries. Unlike NI where they are within living memory.


You think anyone would actually be arsed/interested to set up border
control?


Thought taking back control over 'our' borders was one of the most
important things the BREXITs wanted?

Not much point if Scotland is in the EU and England not - with no border
controls. Rather easier to cross than the English Channel. Also a
smugglers paradise - unless England has the same deal with the EU as an EU
member.

Still, i'm confident that Jeremy could sort it, yea right.


I'd guess he'd rather more of a clue than you have. I'm actually surprised
you haven't worked out the ramifications of England being outside the EU,
but Scotland and Ireland not. Oh - and likely Wales too, if the latest
polls are to be believed.
