He’s talking tough now but let’s see what he does when the IRA threatens to start bombing again over the Ireland border issues. I have my doubts Boris will stand firm there in the end.

Except the North would be with the UK to leave, and the South would (theoretically) stay in the EU and have some sort of “border”.

I don’t think the IRA will bomb straight away - they’ll push for a reunification vote and they’ll get it - it’s like over 65% of northern ireland want reunification with the republic of ireland in the event of a hard brexit

Give Northern Ireland back to Ireland and let the country figure it out on their own.

I made one BIG error in my statements above about Northern Ireland voting to join the republic

The big error is that there would also need to be a vote in the Republic of Ireland if they want the counties of NI to join the republic

I don't think it's a certainty that the RoI would agree to this - or at least I've not read any polls on these people's viewpoints
