Lee Hurst said this about Brexit and the replies could make it the best thing he’s ever done
Here’s comedian Lee Hurst offering his thoughts on Brexit and specifically the thorny issue of what will happen to the border separating Northern Ireland from the Republic.
He was prompted to comment after this poll suggested people thought remainer politicians were deliberately making the issue complicated to delay Britain’s EU exit.
New polling from @LordAshcroft shows that a big majority of the public thinks the Irish border issue is being deliberately exaggerated by politicians. Time for them to stop squabbling and deliver Brexit!https://t.co/sXhjMrh1IB

You don’t really need to tell anyone that you’re not being funny. That’s generally assumed.

You're never funny.
If you want to trade via WTO rules they'll require you to have a border.
I realise you won't understand or accept this, but nothing can be done about that.— Ciaran (@Ciaran_madigan) June 19, 2018

This is moronic, Lee. If Ireland left the EU as well then the UK and Ireland would become two separate customs and regulatory territories requiring a border. The solution is for us both to remain in the EU.

You're right, you're definitely not being funny.
And Ireland will not be leaving the EU.

He doesn’t get that it is only because we are leaving that Ireland then needs a border. Gammon logic. My house is on fire, to correct the situation my neighbours should set fire to theirs.

Leave the politics to people who understand it, Lee. Stick to lightweight sports-based TV panel games. Oh, hang on, you haven't been on TV since they switched off 405-line VHF. https://t.co/MRLsLIf1M6
