You haven't justified it one scrap. And the first time we ask you to justify a statement you've made, a request that has to be made far too frequently as a consequence of your dishonest approach to discussion, we always ask civilly. You were asked civilly to back up your Wheatcroft balls-up and you were asked civilly to back up this. In both cases you utterly failed to do so, instead deciding to hedge and ditch around in order to demonstrate that Keith speaketh ex cathedra at all times. Our civil requests generally trigger a tirade of evasions and dissembling from you. As in this case. You cannot remotely demonstrate that the EU and Dublin WANT hard borders. The best you can come up with is that one threatens it and the other has to tag along. In neither case, even if they are true (which they are not), does it have diddley squat to do with your declaration that it's what they WANT. The jury isn't even out on this. You made it up in order to bolster whatever case you were trying to make. Vulgar and fraudulent.
