I am often to be found in the early hours on beaches wading in and out of the sea.
It is called fishing.
The system can differentiate between this and an illegal or a drugs run.

Hi
The backstop is nothing to do with the Free Movement of people with Eire.
We have a common travel area.
The Backstop is to do with goods, in particular agricultural goods and sanitary controls and rules of origin.

Those who want to tear up the backstop, or feel gleeful at the prospect of no deal, should recall that the first shots of the Troubles were fired at customs posts such as Newry, requiring the RUC, and later the British army, to protect officials, civilians and military alike. These incidents paved the way for the installation of those mammoth watchtowers, helicopter bases and checkpoints – the hard border – that blighted our landscape. Just as the first shots were fired over customs posts, it was our membership of the customs union and the single market – the free movement of goods and people – that allowed us to tear down the physical borders and begin the task of demolishing the walls in our hearts and minds.
