Please note Brussels Draws Plan for Irish Border Technology Despite Rubbishing Brexiteer’s Same Idea.
The EU is drawing up plans to use technology on the Irish border — despite rubbishing the idea when put forward by Brexiteers.
Eurocrats will deploy “IT systems” to keep trade flowing between Ireland and the EU via Britain if there’s a No Deal Brexit.
In a dossier to be presented to EU leaders next week, officials say a fix “can be implemented swiftly” and that they are in “regular contact” with authorities in Ireland, France and the Netherlands over the contingency plans.
Played for a Fool
Supposedly, technology was an impossible idea when Theresa May asked for such a solution.
The EU played Theresa May like a fool, which of course she was. There was just one little problem: The UK parliament refused to go along.
Now, in the face of No Deal, the “EU is ready to Support the Irish” with technology that supposedly could not work.
Brazen Liars
The EU is nothing but a brazen pack of liars. And Theresa May was in bed with the lot of them.
I cannot emphasize that point enough: Let’s Discuss Brexit (and How the EU Bragged, on Film, About Screwing the UK)

The time for sloganeering is over. Rabble rousing doesn’t work in a room packed full of lawyers and politicians trying to actually design a market status for the U.K. It took seven years for the Canadian deal to be built. There are three main outcomes:
1. Boris and the EU come to a deal by 12/31/2020 – unlikely that the E.U. will give much ground, since, as Boris and the Brexiteers seem unable to learn, principle is more important to the E.U. leaders than Boris et al. thinks – all the talk about the German car makers capitulating and suddenly the E.U. gives Boris everything is just silly nonsense – why would the Greeks, the Italians, the Polish, etc. bend over to keep German automakers happy. The German automaker argument is also used with French Cheese, etc., etc. If this is the outcome it will be due to some hard fought dealing on both sides, but will likely just result in Britain being in exactly the same place they were in 2015, but with no seat at the table.
2. Boris punts. He blinks and tells everybody that they just need [insert time period here] to get the perfect deal that the Brexiteers want. The Brexiteers will go along with him, because if they have got to this point and punted, they’ve finally woken up to what the rest of us think a WTO deal will look like for the U.K.
3. Boris just guns ahead and takes the WTO option. Then we’ll find out who is right, a big gamble with the economy of the U.K. Between the middle of 2016 — when Britain voted to leave the European Union — and the end of last year, business investment increased only 1 percent, according to government data. Over the three previous years, business investment expanded by a total of 16 percent.
This article makes no sense. One of the main goals of Brexit is to have a border with the EU and stop imigration. The EU always wanted an open border. The reason why the backstop became so unpopular is precisely because it didn’t define an end to it.
So let’s be clear. If there is a deal the border rules will leverage the goal of brexiters of stopping immigration with the trade goals of the UK and the EU. If there is no deal there is a hard border.
EU nut crackers:
USA Tariff on German automobiles
Free USA food trade with Britain
British fishing rights
London banks vs EU banks
French cheese market
French whore market

A stupid anti Brexit woman , negotiating Brexit with the EU, a male chauvinist bastion on top of that …..The chronicle of a announced failed negotiation…. It s not that I am very fond of him but I d say : GO FOR IT BORIS !
Of course the technology works. Most traffic crossing the Northern Irish border already drives straight through, just as it does on US toll roads. You only stop if it’s a one-time journey and you have to pay cash. This always was a red-herring. Drug-trafficking and other smuggling is a far more serious issue for the Irish border. The only good reason for a hard border (wall?) between the Republic of Ireland and the UK has nothing to do with legitimate traffic.
The “issue” is figuring out what tariffs to charge on the goods inside a truck carried container, without stopping. Not just a fixed toll per vehicle, as on a toll road. A nice excuse to really spy on everyone and everything moving down the road, IOW….
Of course, in practice, the whole excercise is waaaay to complex for it to either “work” or “not work.” So, like all of progressivism, it will amount to little more than yet another exercise in utter arbitrariness. With everyone wanting to travel beyond their own door, needing RF chips, sensors etc. All conveniently supplied by Robert Bosch…. And with several trillions being handed to well connected IT services and consulting firms for managing it all. And another few trillions to lawyers for quarreling over why all those trillions still don’t really work… All while the Muzzies spend their (fractional) trillions on something actually useful, like guns.
Some EU; Some colony…
The devil is in the detail. It would be interesting to know just exactly what this technology is and how it will work.
If it does work, and work well, perhaps it could be used to replace something far more costly, namely the EU.
