Treeza's infamous "red lines" mean the UK can't have have the same relationship with the EU which Switzerland enjoys. And in any case, it could be argued that Switzerland does in fact have a hard border. https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top...hane-1-5503444 As an example...

Re: Quote of the day (sorry, Brexit related)
How do we "take back control" of our borders if we dont have a border?

The need for a border comes from the difference in tax and regulation regimes between the two countries. Within the EU the regulations have been (mostly) harmonized and the members have agreed to free movement of goods between countries. So at the moment a truck can drive from London to Berlin without stopping for customs. There is also free movement of EU nationals and the right to work in other countries and be treated the same as the locals. When we leave the EU that all changes. Both sides are entitled to levy duty on goods passing over the border and confirm that goods meet their regulations. They can also deny entry to people. In theory that means re-instating border posts and passport checks across Ireland, and at the Channel ports & Eurotunnel. Last edited by keith_d; 23-01-19 at 09:07 AM. |

It'll be lovely, the "New IRA" which is not to be confused with the provisional, actual, real, continuity and I can'y believe it's not the IRA. Have already claimed responsibility for a car bomb or two.
