• During the coverage leading up to the Referendum Terese Villiers,(a former Tory MEP, of the brexxitty mindset) and possibly still the serving NI Secretary was asked about the implications for the NI/ROI border,
    and she brushed away the question as irrelevant.
    Two options:
    i) either the pro-brexit politicians are very dense are never thought through the implications
    ii) pro-Brexit think tanks researched the implications, foresaw the current unfolding disaster and deliberately hid it from the specifically chosen dense 'talking heads' that were the faces of their campaign.

    [Editted to replace 'Eire' with 'ROI' following @mmccarthy examples.
    I'm one of those English people who seldom thought of NI between the GFA and the referendum debate].

  • Plenty of other options:

    1) understood but didn't care
    2) generally understood it was an issue but assumed someone else would solve it for them (eg "remoaner civil servants")
    3) etc

  • Yeah, Ill go along with those, as well.
    Some threads move so fast, a couple of options are all that I can summon.
