I dislike Brexit but, speaking as a border, I do admire its ability to completely divide a country.

Me: On a map?
JRM: Yes
Me: So you know me?
JRM: Yes. You are not a problem
Me: This is one of my boggy bits. You’re sinking
JRM: I’m not
IB: You are
JRM: You’re just using this as leverage

I currently:
– hold together two countries that were once in military conflict
– am porous enough to allow two clashing identities to live in peace
– allow extensive free movement of goods and people
– am as beautiful as the setting sun.So don’t tell me I could be ‘smart’.
