No deal and no WA means a hard border between NI and Eire which breaks the Good Friday Agreement.
Whilst neither the EU or UK wants a hard border, membership of the WTO would mandate this.
BoJo's current WA places a border between GB and NI.

The IRA still being supported, armed, and active, breaks the GFA. The constant threats of ending the "peace process" also breaks the GFA, and prevents any decision taken as being invalid, as it's under duress. What other situation would a decision be valid when made under the threat of violence?
The bill DOESN'T mean a hard border UNLESS the EU wants it that way. The CURRENT NI protocol allows for it to be stopped sometime in the future anyway.
