Well, it is much worse for the UK of course.

@terrybrookes9763 Well, they have prepared at Dublin Port. But even more, a sealed lorry does not need to be checked at the borders of the UK.

@terrybrookes9763 Well, that's a decision of the UK, sure you can check these lorries, even so there is no reason under WTO rules. In contrast, imports to the UK (excluding NI) need to be checked, and imports to the EU (inclooding NI) need to be checked. If you want to play games with unnecessary checks the EU can allway counter with the timing of needed checks.

@terrybrookes9763 Well, there are tons of precedents: An example would be the German-German border during the cold war. West and Eastern Germany were hostile countries, and it was extremely difficult and bureaucratic to enter the GDR. West German lorries and private cars could cross the GDR to Berlin and back with strongly reduced checks of the passengers and no checks of sealed lorries. If you left the motorway representing the direct path you were in deep shit but in obeying the rules of the GDR you could avoid most of the checks. Why do you think the UK will start a fight with a much stronger opponent?

@terrybrookes9763 So, you have no argument? And you are still laughing? Seems very silly!

@Gary_OC I would guess so.
