GOOGLE MAPS The border between Ireland and Northern Ireland is now just a line on maps. If Brexit has come crashing down to earth, the piece of Earth in question is a straggling, meandering, perplexing and porous line on the map: the 498km-long border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. So the EU has fully backed Ireland in its insistence that there can be no hard border after Brexit. Their own culpable ignorance of Northern Ireland will not stop the Brexit zealots from blaming the Irish for the mess. Their willful delusions - regarding Northern Ireland, and much else besides - were always bordering on the insane.
