The dangerous and the deluded want their day in court. So what if they establish that Boris’s deal broke the Good Friday agreement? That would immediately drag America and the EU into a crisis in which the Brexit they voted for would be under intense international pressure. If they lost that one, and got the deal challenged by invoking protocol 16, that would pitch the U.K. into a dispute with the EU. Which could mean selective retaliations between the two. That again would completely undermine Brexit in the medium term. If they got a border across North and South again, the border crossing infrastructure would be attacked. One border post attacked, and all would have to be defended. There’s a hundred crossing points between North and South. Or the NI population could react, and two thirds of the population could push for a united Ireland, which would put a really hard border between the Unionists and the U.K. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/northern-ireland-protocol-judicial-review-dup-arlene-foster-b1805354.html?fbclid=IwAR0FLGKZKtLrqc5DjYqw4JiGwDuqM9WfCsOWTR0WL44R3F76UL7TwU2VTTY

Ireland will be united again, it's provided for, democratically, within the agreement. If the EU wish to engage in any kind of battle with Britain they will come off worse. Yes, they have more people and more money but the size of the organisation mirrors its inflexibility and lack of ability to respond. Check out the covid crisis and vaccines, if you doubt this.
No bother, any of this.

I read somewhere recently that it's predicted there will be a majority of Catholics in NI by 2025. Despite the vast majority of folk not giving a toss about religion the majority do vote to form i.e. Protestant= The Union; Catholic= United Ireland. And so we will have it.

I'm not that au fait with the whole Ireland problem but it does seem incredibly logical for it all to be the same country.

And they do or at least, will want to very soon. Similarly for Jockland, if they want to go their own way, a brave new national socialist party in the big wide world (with a wish to rejoin the EU, which seems counter intuitive, but there you go) who are the English to stop them? As long as the Jocks accept their fair share of debt and do not expect the English to keep bailing them out with the silly Barnett formula beyond their leaving date I'll wish them well in their brave new venture. Once the Jocks have gone I'm hoping the money saved from the Barnett formula can be diverted to us poor Welsh so not only do we all get free prescriptions and our bus passes at 60, we can develop further freebies for all, paid for by the English.
