Your last sentence is really important and the reason I don’t really understand the Boris debate. He only attached himself to the Leave cause at the very last minute. His beliefs are more in line with Remain and yet he is hated by their side. Conversely there seem to be many on the Leave side who think he is the saviour. Personally I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him (not very far ! ).

As someone who had a 30 year career in technology, I'm most interested as to what this technology is that you are aware of, but nobody in the UK or EU Governments is.(Or Sweden or Finland Governments). Maybe you could name some of these solutions or suppliers of these solutions ?
And what sort of 'temporary' solution do you think needs to be put in place in October ? Maybe customs posts

Okay, Roger, I have taken on your extremely LOGICAL advice.
Eton people make PM
Not to like anyone that studies Latin
I now feel like a logical genius, I am so glad I listened.
Maybe I should join in the beard liberation front, as that appears quite a logical thing to do

For some reason a Basil Fawlty line came into my head about trusting someone about as far as he could 'comfortably spit a dead rat'.

I think (and certainly hope) that the Scots are far too sensible to swallow his guff. I suspect an overwhelming majority of them would be quite happy to see him picked up and dumped back over our side of the border. I'm afraid you can get away with stuff in England that would be seen through for what it is by our near neighbours. It does raise some uncomfortable questions about us lot, perhaps. Although in fairness they did have Alex Salmond and Ally Macleod.
Quite funny watching people get their knickers in a twist. Perhaps they realise the JC The Saviour’ ship has sailed, or more accurately, missed the tide.

AndI don't think it will recover if yesterday's interview with Sophie Ridge is anything to go by.
I've just watched John Oliver take down Johnson, well worth checking out if you get the chance.

But that is from @SocialistChris, not so sure context would have been too important to her/him/whatever.
Empty words are only going to get him so far. There's a reason why they announced his coronation just before recess.
I just watched it.
Nothing new to say from Oliver.
I have to admit, I had never heard of him.
Hmm?
Well, like it or not, recess or not, you are going to be hearing a lot more from him over the next few weeks!

Perhaps I would be bothered if you weren’t such a sarcastic poster. On a serious note, if you have had a career in IT I think you would find it interesting to do some research on distributed ledgers such as Blockchain. My interest is in its applications to commodity trade finance and making global trade more efficient at borders. The application to the Irish issue is obvious if you have an open mind. I avoid the Brexit thread precisely because of hostile, sarcastic posts such as yours. Just be a little open minded and stop cheerleading for your side of the argument for one moment. I am not saying I have all the answers but neither do you.

Quite funny seeing Johnson going around the country 'spaffing money up the wall' (in his own elegant turn of phrase) in places he probably had never heard of yet alone visited before. Is this the same Johnson who sat through countless Cabinet meetings cutting public spending without so much raising an eyebrow?
He had one session to get through in Parliament. The only people that will be able to question his actions in the next few months are the media, mostly owned by foreign parties and with vested interests.
