    Instead of a bridge to Ireland, it will now be a tunnel...the Boris Burrow :rolleyes:

    P.S. We will get a tunnel under Woodhead before this ....i.e. it will never happen but some think tanks will get paid handsomely again :mad:

    Barmy idea, beside which how exactly will it make any difference to the problems introduced by Brexit? The Channel Tunnel doesn't make it unnecessary for customs checks so why would a NI tunnel make a difference?

    Another thing, the shortest route is from Stranraer (20 miles), by the time a tunnel was built (at least 5 years), Scotland might be independent so there'd be checks on the border at Gretna as well.

    We are governed by imbeciles.

    Bluster to deflect attention. As above it solves nothing but the simpletons will still cheer for it.
    Did I see gove’s plan was to put borders up between the republic and Northern Ireland?

    Plus, we’re talking about a tunnel and not 100,000+ deaths!
