Does Bojo suggest installing border posts just for show?

BBC: Boris Johnson: Checks on Irish border will be 'reality' after Brexit.
DT: Boris Johnson dismisses reports his Brexit deal will impose checks away from Irish Border.

Perhaps they will be collapsible ones? that only come up when you have passed them?
That would reduce the number of complaints....

If he gets his no-deal, the EU will have to build border check posts if they want them.

Personally, I don’t think border checks are necessary and the issue is just being played for the sake of awkwardness. If we leave without a deal, I think the EU will instruct their Irish song & dance puppet that they have miraculously found an alternative solution and that they WILL find it completely acceptable.

Not so, it's the gun and bomb boys that have to be pleased remember, and all they need is an excuse.

Maybe BJs border plan will be like Pokemon Go and folk crossing the border will use augmented reality to 'see' the new 'unreal' border posts...

Boris Johnson says there are "abundant" technological solutions


The Conservative MP recalled how he ended up dancing on tables and ''generally misbehaving'' in his last visit to Tel Aviv, adding he is unsure if any animals were involved. 2015 DT

He learnt a lot from his techie tutor...

"The blonde ex-model told friends Johnson’s daytime visits to her flat in London’s trendy Shoreditch — it boasted a dancing pole — involved ‘technology lessons’."



Boris Johnson has an alarming track record of technology stunts

The Irish view from RTE
one of the reply messages reads:
Voting for Brexit was like voting for better weather. It seemed like a good idea on the face of it, ignores collateral consequences and no one can agree what "better" weather actually is.

from @nicktolhurst:

Dominic Cummings has briefed a select group of Conservative pro Brexit MPs at a private meeting, that he expects “the last weeks of October to be spent in the courts”.

Then there is reason for pre-emptive action against him for encouraging law breaking, surely?

'presumed innocent until proven guilty' and all that.
Although with Bojo, the presumption is he starts with a lie then you try to fathom out which bit is new and which is old.

He will argue that he isn't, since he expects/hopes late court actions they take will overrule parliament's blocking of leaving with no deal. Anti-democratic etc.

This is probably what Johnson and JRM are banking on.

I wonder what Crimer would make of them?

What if the solution to solving crime, lowering murder rates and fighting the opioid crisis could be found through a marriage of computer science and entrepreneurship?

That's exactly the goal of Crimer, a crime-prediction software that began as a project last year in an LSU Computer Science class. The students who created the software also created a company, named Crimer as well, made up of 12 employees—11 of whom are current or former LSU computer science students.

Ask China Miéville - if they can make the EU unsee the border, then the UK can have a real border...

Boris Johnson's 'lover' petrified after laptop dating back to 'affair' stolen
EXCLUSIVE Jennifer Arcuri fears sensitive information on the electronic device could be hawked around by hackers, according to her friends.

Stolen? that's a good one....try destroyed......
The idea that someone who is deeply involved in high tech (Hacker House) didn't backup, doesn't have a backup, didn't secure the information, suggests one of two things. Pig ignorance. Or an attempt to mislead.

By its disappearance (however that happened), she avoids having to produce it at any proceedings investigating the issue.

Hence my remark "Stolen? that's a good one....try destroyed...... " :cool:
I suspect there will be a sudden spike in the number of suspicious burglaries of laptops, mobile phones and good old fashioned documents this month!

Menwith Hill could enlighten the world , I'm sure.

And here is a controversial claim if ever there was one!

The Queen sought advice on the circumstances in which she could sack a prime minister ahead of Tuesday’s incendiary Supreme Court ruling, i has been told.
A source claims that the monarch asked her aides for the first time for clarification on just when and how she could dismiss a prime minister who refuses to step aside.
The alleged consultations reinforce suggestions that the monarch and her most senior aides had deep concerns about Boris Johnson’s decision to prorogue Parliament, even before the country’s most senior court was asked to declare the move unlawful.

It was reported on Sunday that Mr Johnson phoned the Queen to personally apologise for the embarrassment caused by the crushing Supreme Court ruling that he had acted unlawfully when he advised the monarch to suspend Parliament for five weeks - advice which she was obliged to accept.

Ofcourse they dont. Only reason Tories are attempting it is because they think not doing so will lose them next GE.
JC would do it because he believes in leaving, which is exactly why labour will always be held partly resposible if we do leave.
