Nobody has said we won't be able to holiday, only that it'll be more expensive to do so. This is true already. Nor has anyone predicted planes falling from the sky. You are conflating genuine risk with the ridiculous to try and minimise its importance.



The literal existence of Northern Ireland.
Don't be silly! You don't distinguish between statements that are fact and those that are not meant to be taken literally, do you?

Of course no-one has suggested seriously that planes would fall from the sky, but many have been under the impression that the UK will not be able to fly its planes over Europe, which of course is not the case. Some have been of the opinion that they will no longer be able to holiday in Europe, and I have met a few of them!

As far as NI, solutions are available, but Europe refuses to engage. The reality is, that if there is no deal, there will be no backstop. This seems to have eluded the Irish PM!
