The ever-excellent Tony Connelly has some big news tonight...

"Tony Connelly@tconnellyRTE
BREAKING: the UK has proposed a string of "customs clearance centres" on both sides of the Irish border as a key part of its plan to replace the backstop, RTE News understands. The "centres", effectively customs posts, would be located between 5-10 miles "back" from the border."

Good news? No.

The biggest news for some time.

Now is the test. If Boris doesn't back down and he still polls well, in the face of what will be almost universal derision, he'll believe he has the support for No Deal. Amongst many others things he'll have to rely on people not cottoning over the next month just how terrible this outcome will be for them. I suggest that there's another "event" planned to divert attention from the pain and unite them against a common enemy. Will be interesting to see what they've cooked up.
 
Move the border!

Now why didn’t anyone else think of that? It’s just the kind of genius idea we should have expected from Johnson.

You see, this is what a education in the classics gives you. If you have an intangible problem, just call it something else and there you go-solved!

We could expand this idea into other areas. Flu epidemic? Rename it cheese epidemic and lo! Free cheese. Toilet roll shortage? Just rename it ‘saving the Amazon.’ Problem solved and it pleases his girlfriend. The possibilities are endless.
