    Interesting from Grieve: "The Union is m.more important than the terms of Brexit." IRL is "biggest loser from Brexit apart from possibly the UK itself" Internal UK border is "inescapable logic of the EU’s position" unless UK gov changes re: future rel'ship w/ EU "in its totality"

    If (no deal,no deal), we will not set up customs checks (we couldn't in any case no prep and totally ineffective unless we reduce "approved" crossings) we'd sit out the initial chaos re NI instead concentrating on GB direct imports and ensuring business is compliant off-border.

    Replying to @vivamjm @KeohaneDan and 3 others
    Both sides would have to meet their international obligations in enforcing a customs border. A wary analysis would note the emphasis here on posts & infrastructure. It's a pity the Ceann Comhairle didn't allow Juncker to answer Boyd Barrett's request for clarification.

    2 yrs after Ref & we still don't know how border lives will be impacted! Not just border dwellers, but all in NI & beyond.  British, Irish, EU citizens currently enjoy equal rights. Will they diverge (in conflict with )? has a Brexit headache!

    Chief Constable points out that ‘EAW critical to policing cooperation across the NI/Irl Border’. Gaps in rights protections therefore need solved for security dimension as well.

    + as for the statement (for respondents to agree/disagree with) on technological solutions -- "Modern technology would allow any customs checks to be done quickly and easily, so a border would not be damaging or disruptive" -- What purpose/value does this have in an opinion poll?

    I can't help but say, tho, that the phrasing of some of the Qs asked is unfortunate, e.g. on possible 'different status' of NI (ref. customs checks in sea ports) or a hard border risking paramilitary attacks. This serves to *perpetuate* distortions of sensitive & nuanced matters.
