Jezza's formal stance is "I'll only accept a Brexit that accomplishes everything the leavers promised us."

Which can either be interpreted as he'd cancel Brexit wholesale because that's obviously impossible, or he'd work towards the softest Brexit possible, however soft that'd end up, and go with that, were he to be put in charge.

It's shifty and hedge-betty, but he does have to deal with this:

length isn't that much of an issue for canada though because it's not like (until recently) many people were trying to sneak across, so manning customs posts to butthole, north dakota doesn't take up a lot of manpower. but with the UK there's parts of Ireland that literally can't get to Dublin by bus without dipping into the NI, and the customs infrastructure facing the mainland EU is so non-existant that plan A for no deal is to use the M20 as a truck park. poo poo is bananas

If you take the main road from Cloverhill to Clones (both in the ROI) you cross the border four times in a ten mile journey.

It's a longer journey to travel from most of Donegal, to Dublin without going through the north, but it's not impossible

possible by road, but not by bus. there was a minor scandal involving ireland's refugee resettlement agency related to this. refugees in ireland have to go to dublin for various administrative services. a few refugees were settled in Donegal and the only coach services took the shortcut through NI, meaning the refugees on board were technically breaking the law by being on board.

obviously the buses will be able to reroute, but it shows you how interconnected northern ireland is with the RoI, and how much of a complete and absolute disaster a hard border would be

"By bus" is probably the key bit there, although if you were willing to take multiple services you could probably cobble together a route going down the west coast. You shouldn't have to though.

This is the same of every train journey in this godforsaken country. My parents were going to England for my aunt's funeral in the summer and couldn't get a flight down because my dad's passport had expired & he'd not noticed. Flight is £20 & less than 90 minutes, train was £140 and over 10 hours. loving madness.

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
Trains in the UK are fuckin disgrace. It really gets me down, because trains are objectively the best way to travel and it's almost always out of my price range now. Also on the rare occasion I can get an affordable ticket, they're an hour late.

Nationalisation (points at seagull) can't come soon enough.
