And its not hard to see why the EU doesn't want no border controls
at all there with the UK out of the EU. But less clear why they arent
prepared to agree to the same arrangement between Denmark and
Greenland. Greenland isnt in the EU.

That might not be entirely unconnected with the fact that
Greenland is an island which is 2,920 km away from Denmark.

Whereas the distance between the Republic of Ireland and
Northern Ireland is around 0.000000001 mm.

At a rough guess.

Irrelevant to BORDER CONTROLS, ****wit.

You do realise of course that its much easier to implement
border controls when the territories involved are separated
by 2,920 km of sea, than it when the said border runs through
fields or allegedly, through peoples houses ?

Just a minor detail.

The EU claim they dont want border controls between NI and Ireland.

Ireland claim they dont want controls, even though they are starting to
construct them.

The UK have said they dont want controls. The arent building any new
controls.


The only obstacle, ie the only people actually trying to build controls,
are the Irish- who are part of the EU.

So, in other words, just like in everything else, the EU are lying.

There are many thousands of miles of land border in the world which are no
more than a notional line on the ground. In the great scheme, a fraction
are monitored, fenced, patrolled.....

Youve clearly not traveled.

what really annoys me is people talking about the problems of this border
which are either not problems at all or are current problems

In the first category we have people mumbling on about movement of people
for day to day business reasons when it is clear that this is resolved by
the existing (and to be kept) British Isles Common travel Area.

and in the second we have people arguing about "without a border how will we
stop smuggling", ignoring the fact that whilst within the EU there is
already a problem of smuggling, that we have to find a way to police with an
open border.
