There's no blame game - simply a statement of fact.
Is a hard border in the UK's interest? - no
Is a hard border in Ireland's interest? - no
Can the UK and Ireland come to an agreement by bi-lateral negotiation? - no
So who is insisting on the need for a hard border?
You seriously don't know?
Brexers want to end Freedom of movement. So there must be a border to keep foreigners out.
Brexers don't want to be in the single market. So there must be a border to control movement of goods.
Brexers don't want to conform to EU regulations. So there must be a border to keep non-compliant goods out.
So who insists on the conditions which require a border? Brexers do.

It doesn't matter if Scotland is wealthier than Catalonia, you can't compare like with like.
Catalonia is the wealthiest part of Spain, 25% of Spain's exports are from Catalonia.
Catalans are only 16% of the Spanish population but account for 19% of GDP, they also banned bullfighting which is no bad thing.
In relative terms Catalonia is wealthier than Scotland.
It is no coincidence that remain areas tend to be in densely populated cities with high numbers of immigrants.
Ah, so now it's in 'relative terms'...
What are you relating it to?
Scotland sure as hell is 'wealthier' than many EU countries!
So why have you changed your stance?
Because you told us before that...
Nothing 'relative' in that statement
Utter rubbish
You are playing the blame game
This is simply a statement of fact:
The UK chose to leave
End of
So Brexiteers should take respinsibilty for that
Immigrants didnt get a vote.
Or do you mean British citizens that were originally from another country.
How far back do you want to go with that? Anglo Saxons, Normans, Romans
Where is your cut off point?
'Brexers' want hard working foreigners to be able to come.
'Brexers' don’t want non-working foreigners and their families to be able to freely come here and be free, for example, to claim child benefits for 'children' that are not even in this country. We want control of the number and type of EU migrants that come here seeking work.
'Brexers' do want to be able to freely buy and sell to the EU - after all, that was what we originally signed up to.
If 'Brexers' want to sell goods to the EU, of course they must ensure they comply with their regulations the same way as anything sold to another country must comply with that country’s regulations but when we want to buy from elsewhere, it’s up to the UK government to set UK standards which may or may not exceed EU requirements.
Same old anti immigrant rant.
People like you are a dream to the conservatives, it makes thrir job so easy.
There is no comparison between SF and the Catalan independence movement, any referendum organised by SF would be about annexation not independence.
If there were to be a referendum on an independent Ulster I would support that.
