I believe there was a hard border for many decades.

“In April 1923, just four months after independence, the Irish Free State established customs barriers on the border.”

There’s custom checks between the US & Canada and no one seems very upset about it.

For three decades goods, including raw food, passed freely between Ireland, Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK without a tizzy.

This is a fight for UK independence, for which it has paid tens of billions of pounds to get back.

Why the hell does he want to get our country involved in UK/EU relationships? It’s NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.

Is the Republic of Ireland really going to spend millions of Euros each year to stop a few smugglers?

The border runs through rural areas.

With the price of petrol, few people will drive 20 to 40 kilometers to save a few pounds buying smuggled goods.

Vehicles are taxed upon registration. What would be worth smuggling? What has high tariffs nowadays? The UK is not a cheap labour country.

The EU’s masters (in Berlin) still haven't forgiven Britain for defeating them in WWII. The best revenge they can reasonably hope for is breaking Northern Ireland away....which very possibly could cause Scotland to follow.

In terms of trade, the EU needs to worry about the hungry Chinese tiger and not the past its prime British lion.

One hopes they tell him to sod off.

Funny how the folks that bitched about non-existent Russian meddling like to meddle in other countries’ business.

Mr Biden’s press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said yesterday: “There is no formal linkage on trade talks between the US and the UK and the Northern Ireland Protocol, as we have said, but efforts to undo the Northern Ireland Protocol would not create a conducive environment.”

Biden’s meddling will result in a return of “The Troubles“.

All he’s doing is pimping big government it’s all he knows.
