Honestly with the latest brexit news I'm reaching the point where if labour doesn't go "this is stupid let's not brexit after all" I might just give up on the absolute boy. I figure we'd probably pick up enough remain voters in Scotland to more than counterbalance the nut jobs who would abandon labour over brexit.

What's the point of this buffer zone then. Will it mean two separate border checks, or none? It kinda sounds like what Brussels wanted all along though, how're they gonna get the DUp to go along with it

May saw City 17 in Half Life 2 and thought that was what effective governance looked like. The more I look at what’s going on, the more I think we’re going to end up staying (resentfully, because we’re assholes) in the EU, while banging the drum of leaving any day now, because the situation is so hopelessly hosed. Edit: not quite what the EU proposed, because unless I’m misreading the news reporting, there’s no reports of customs checks between NI and rUK. Also, two factories, one producing goods for regulatory alignment, the other for divergence?

I don't get the 'home office misdeeds' vibe from it so much as 'the west isn't what you imagined'

I can't see how this buffer zone nonsense will be acceptable to the ROI, and the EU's basically given them veto power on this issue.

This thing is p funny quote:Then there’s Karen Sunderland, Conservative candidate in Lewisham, who wrote that “Islam is the new Nazism”. This is a tricky one to prove, because people who follow Islam support a variety of views, a range of political parties and ideologies as diverse as the Conservative values of Baroness Warsi to the jihadism of Isis. Nazis, on the other hand, all tend to support the Nazis.

So, this ten mile-thick border idea; wouldn't that basically be trapping everyone inside it within a very long and narrow encampment? And also require two physical borders sandwiching everything between them, making it at least twice as costly to implement (and twice as unpopular)?
