Or something like that — The Irish Border (@BorderIrish) January 28, 2020Next came the alternative arrangements. We’ve ended up with the Northern Ireland protocol, which means the UK leaving the EU politically but leaving Northern Ireland behind economically. The Irish Sea border will be a kind of franchise operation. The Irish Sea border is just a glorified tax return and it’ll be mainly doing its work in Belfast Harbour and, God help it, Larne. Let’s hope the future doesn’t need another mouthy Irish Border Twitter account to be sarcastic at the expense of people who have forgotten the history of this island.
