If there did end up being a one-sided hard border, then it would actually be the EU and anyone complaining to the WTO, who would be responsible for breaking the GFA. |
It’s an IRA, EU and US democratic conspiracy to bring back a hard border? Nobody forced the UK to choose Brexit, and even after they did nobody forced them to go down a route that leads to a border on the island of Ireland that overwhelmingly does not want one. This was concocted in London, shifting the blame elsewhere for it does not serve you well. The arguments appear, at face value, almost hysterical.
