Unfortunately, all your predictions about uninvented technologies solving the Irish border situation never came to pass.


Good call.

Leaving the EU without an NI agreement in place? This would have breached the Good Friday Agreement. WTO membership by the EU and UK would require have required a treaty-breaching hard border on the island of Ireland.

I don't agree with you that leaving without a deal would have breached the GFA. That was EU spin, imo. It would have stirred the pot, somewhat - but no deal is not a breach. The breach would occur if the perfidious EU erected a border between the two. It really should have been chucked back to the EU to sort out.

I totally blame Mrs May as I said earlier in the thread.
