The effects were wholly predictable. The so-called politicians didn’t care at the time. Reaping the rewards now could lead to a dangerous place. Hard border is ridiculously unlikely from our side but it might happen from the south which would prove interesting albeit there is less of a threat there.

True, the DUP are very much complicit in the mess that they’ve got NI into, but then to them the goal was a hard border with ROI and they saw their chance and went for it. It’s not (yet) worked, but the current situation is quite possibly existential for them as it becomes ever more apparent that a) Westminster gives zero shits about NI remaining part of the UK and b) the effects of being in effect a quasi-EU member state aligns NI ever closer with ROI.
