I thought it was possible Brexit could lead to renewed violence in NI. A harder border between NI and Ireland plays into the hands of their mutual fanatics in the IRA and Provo’s.

What is a "harder" border? I assume a harder border means more tariffs and paperwork for goods. It should not mean it is a hassle to see grandma.
It should not matter what an asshole EU bureaucrat is doing to grift a job. If people in Northern Ireland have employment, there should be no reason to beat someone else over the head.
they could be stupid and let a bunch of Pollocks and others come in and take everything out form under them.
