The UK can't have whatever border it likes. It has to reach agreement with people on the other side of the border That is true, but our aim is to achieve an open border, and if that is not achieved it will be because the other side does not want it. That will hurt Ireland but EU is willing for its members to take a hit as long as UK is hurt too. What they fear above all is UK emerging unscathed or more prosperous after leaving. They will accept a high price to be paid by remaining members like Ireland to avoid that.
