To quadraginta: I have addressed that point repeatedly in this thread. I won't go over it again right now.

I have to admit it amuses me when those in favour of Brexit can’t grasp simple concepts like the need for a border with Ireland if the UK leaves the customs union.

It scares me that the people doing the negotiation seem to have the same level of ignorance however.

Well, British governments have a long history of ignorance and misunderstanding ..and miscalculation..when it comes to Ireland...
 
There's a bloke goes in the pub voted Brexit because he wants old styke filament light bulbs back. Seems to think leaving the EU will see an end to LED bulbs. He also seems to think it will mean an end to renewable energy and wind turbines, solar panels etc. We will be able to re open coal kines and coal fired power stations. ( he says 'renewable' as though it was a rude word.
.

God, in The US he would make a perfect Trump Supporter....

You might think you have, but aside from bizarre comments like ones about closed circuit cameras I haven't seen anything. Certainly nothing which addresses the issue with practical solutions.

Try again. See how concise you can be.

There is an ex-colleague (their part of the company was sold but we still share the site) who is very keen on Trump. He is also a fervent Brexit supporter and a Young Earth Creationist. I try to avoid him.
 
Doesn't seem to stop all of the illegal immigrants getting jobs right now, does it?
And of course doesn't stop those terrible asylum seekers (we all know they aren't real asylum seekers!) and and refuges entering the UK via Ireland. And of course there will no longer be the EU policy that they have to seek asylum in the first EU country they can.
 
This would mean that anyone can come and go into the UK as they please, as long as they don't get a job while they are there without the OK?

Unless the UK wants to insist on visas for all visitors from the EU, yes.

It's also likely that there will be 'security checks' on the ferries from Ireland (absolutely not 'border checks' :D), to catch non-EU citizens.

The DUP would not accept that so May's government would become a minority government and more than likely have to dissolve parliament.
 
I'm hoping there is a "soft" border as I can soon see the equivalent of the old "booze cruise" starting from Liverpool, calling in at NI then a port in the republic. These can be called "want a safe and efficient and cheap vacuum cleaner cruises"

If you want a cheap pint in a pub, the Republic is the very last place you should visit.

Current position:

https://www.stenaline.co.uk/faqs/passports-and-visas/im-a-british-irish-citizen-do-i-need-a-passport-to-travel

British or Irish citizens travelling on our Irish Sea routes do not need a passport to travel to Britain or Ireland but are advised to take a form of identity. A driving licence, citizenship card or utility bill will usually suffice.
 
Instead of wasting time in preparing and doing speeches should they not start negotiating seriously?

Well it would be a good idea to first decide on what they want. And ensure that the goals are not mutually incompatible
