Why on earth should the IRA dictate what this country can and cannot do?
Given “taking back control” of our borders was one of the reasons for Brexit I’m sure even you see the irony that “we want control of our borders but we don’t want you to control yours” is a somewhat unrealistic ambition.

Would you accept a flood of migrants heading our way over the UK partition on the island or Ireland? Of course you wouldn’t. It’s unreasonable to expect so.
