Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, not part of the United States nor of the Republic of Ireland nor part of the European Union.
It is a bit moronic to expect borders in the United Kingdom to avoid borders outside the United Kingdom.
It is for Europe and the Irish Republic to be tactful and to bend the rules as much as possible inside the Union of Europe and if our Kingdom does the same, with RECIPROCAL good will, we may get away with it.
Of course that may mean the Republic to be reasonable and not want to pick a fight and there is where we may find that the trouble starts.
UK really needs to scrap the entire Withdrawal Agreement as the deal which it proposed in the political declaration Canada Style won't be forthcoming.
We really shouldn't be playing around with the Internal Market bill at all, just denounce the W.A and declare that our Kingdom is no longer a party to it. And negotiate everything from outside the EU as Theresa May made that terrible mistake of saying YES to the timetable and anything EU.
