The more I think about the border issue the harder I find it to see a solution. What are the options?
ROI leaves the EU and joins the UK - no chance
NI leaves the UK and remains in the EU - I'm far from an expert on Irish politics but surely no chance, especially in the short term

On their forum they're working out how many tickets we have to give them because they expect them to be in demand. We're moaning about a shit draw and half empty ground.

2. Its not certain we'll leave the customs union but if we do then we have to negotiate good deals for it to be a benefit. There's also a doubt if...
Exactly, if the aim is job creation you give tax breaks on things proven to create jobs.
And I think we all know who it will be that foots the bill when there is less public money. It will be austerity and 'we're all in this together'.
