At least partially true
The republicans really really hate the Brits though. It is *everything* . And ripping off the state can be justified as a revolutionary act.
The point about the Good Friday Agreement which everyone is misisng is that it was the buy in from the Eire government which was important. I mean the PIRA had really started to f*ck them off but it took monsterous work to get it done. Blair deserves a hell of a lot credit and I dont think it would have happened without him and Clinton - although Major who got the process going deserves some too,
Johnson does not understand the fire he is playing with here. He currently seems to calculate that No Deal might fuck us in the ass it will seriously fuck southern Ireland in the ass and the EU will brink. Very very dangerous thinking.

You don’t think that a hard border being unilaterally imposed on Eire by their neighbour
might cause some resentment?
That the renewed logistical and economic difficulties of everyday life around that hard border might prove fertile ground for recruiting?
That taking away their freedom of movement and employment will go unanswered?
In a region with a recent history of political violence?

No one is proposing a hard border. No one.
And would you all please stop calling Ireland Eire when you're not speaking Irish. Nobody calls Ireland Eire in English, not even Irish people. Only English people trying to prove how right on they are do, but all they actually prove is that they are so fucking out of touch they don't even know what the place is called by the natives.

If the UK leaves without a deal, it will cease to have a trade deal with the EU, becoming what is known as a "third country".
The EU imposes a range of checks at its borders for countries like this.
There are customs checks, like those on the Norway-Sweden border, and product standard checks.

But if fucking sweetie shops in Sweden is the best you can come up with in the context of the NI border...
You forgot to mention the ferries btw - booze is taxed up the ying yang in Sweden so people take the ferry to Denmark purely to get paraliytiuc at Danish prices. None of this has fuck all to do with *trade*. It's the same bullshit that people repeat about Swittzerland. If your lorry turns up after the customs closes you're stuck for the night.
