Northern Ireland is a tipping point for Brexit. Even my more Brextremist family members have started to say "Whoa. Hold on there old chap. We liked this idea but not enough to screw that whole Ireland thing up again".
And that from the least pragmatic Brexiters I know.

Over the last month its become a palpable problem. First the weird technology that the more buffon supporters jumped on, but the older family members frowned at. Then the hoey intervention that the GFA wasnt sustainable and now Boris Borders.

Northern Ireland is forcing critical evaluation for the first time by Brexiters with strong opinions.
Europe. Far away, full of bureaucrats. Economy, £ fall too disconnected.
But NI? Anyone willing to piss that away without thinking has lost credibility and become a cultist.

Imagine you're sitting around the table as we were and your most stubborn brexit relative all of a sudden pauses listening to 'BJ'
It's like NI forced the wool from his eyes. All of a sudden he realised "if they're willing to gloss over NI what else are they glossing over"

So after 3 years and millions of tears it all comes down to one simple question.
Brexiters. Which do you want? A border in Ireland, or a border across the Irish Sea?
This is what happens when you gloss over big problems with big lies.

Simple question Leave.
Where do you want your border?
1. Northern Ireland?
2. Irish Sea
3. Invade Ireland.
No other choices. Please decide.

In Boris 'BJ' Johnson's latest jape, apparently the Irish border is being used to frustrate brexit.
This is a mis-statement that Chairman Mao would be proud of.
Surely Brexit is being used to frustrate the Good Friday Agreement and 20 years of hard won Irish peace?

Don't believe me though that Ireland is THE issue that finally gets people to see how ridiculous brexit is.

I've never known what Brexit voters were voting for. But whatever take back control meant, it didn't mean screwing up the Northern Ireland peace process.
The extremism of the fanatics and their ability to simply dismiss the lives of the people in Northern Ireland is shameless.

Never before has a British Government conspired to lead a process that actively damaged the future and constitution of the United Kingdom.
It's the opposite of what politicians are there for.
That's the real treachery.
