That's my fear... full customs checks... but my hope is still that on a human or realistic level, the general population in NI and ROI will find a way to work together around it. As naive as that may sound, NI and ROI trade has already grown considerably and with no ill effects to either market.

Susan Kay interviewed lots of Unionists, views aren't as extreme as the news would show you.
The "NI" identity is growing. Voting patterns are slowly changing.
There won't be customs checks between ROI and NI. Can't have any infrastructure per the GFA.
Ireland will not want it either, so I guess Westminster will keep taking the piss out of the EU...

I agree, SF is very good at playing the long game & pretending they are progressive up north. Down south they are much more left, here, nah. But they do politics well.
And yep, not going to tell me the DUP is squeaky clean. At least Doug Beattie calls the LCC for what they are, drug dealers.
Best we can hope for is that there won't be too much bickering and riots and economic damage, Brexit is a shitshow that hits here early. Once GB has to do customs checks it's gonna be "fun".
