I have also maintained that if the EU think they need a hard border, let them set it up and maintain it.
This is nothing more than yet another aspect of Project Fear.

We can still ban these, that is allowed under WTO Rules.
It is tariffs we cannot put on some and not others.

Unfortunately, I don't believe that May has that much common sense!

For the EU a hard border means checks on roads and in harbours where cargo enters the EU/ireland. It doesn't mean patrolling the farmland where floks of immigrants wander into nortern ireland. If you don't want those entering, stop them yourselves. The EU has no need to stop them, if they prefer the UK above the EU.

Re: "Two Years Working to Stop Us Leaving the EU".
Nice to see the "Surrender Bill" from Theresa May, Jean-Claud Juncker and Leo Varadkar got canned yesterday. Rumour has it that it is delayed indefinitely, so that means bye bye to the backstop.The UK got a glimpse of what it would be like under EU rule in the future with that document... the response from leave, remain and undecided was overwhelming.
A no-strings-attached exit from the EU is what we need.
