Firstly, this is being introduced with little/no understanding of day-to-day realities within border communities.
But TBH that's hardly surprising given the current British govt's obsession with little-Englander exceptionalism and its general ignorance of Ireland.

Though I am a wee bit exasperated that many of those expressing outrage about ETA "leading to a hard border", "tearing up the CTA", "breaking the GFA" are seemingly unaware that's there's already an #InvisibleHardBorder for anyone needing a visa to cross the border.
