Brexit Is Now Unstoppable. But Britain Must Face up to How Long It Will Take

It will be interesting to see how European markets behave in the next year or two: https://cnn.com/2019/12/13/uk/brexit-election-analysis-boris-johnson-intl-gbr-ge19/index.html
It seems some members of the EU like France are actually looking forward to strong-arming Britain in the finalized trade deals that have to be ironed out in 2020: https://washingtonpost.com/world/europe/boris-johnson-campaigned-for-brexit-and-against-the-eu-now-europes-leaders-are-delighted-by-his-victory/2019/12/13/19722124-1d6c-11ea-977a-15a6710ed6da_story.html

    The Ireland/Northern Ireland border is and will ever be a huge dilemma. Lloyd George and Churchill (then a cabinet official) ought to have let Michael Collins and Eamon DeValera just take it along with the rest of the new "Irish Free State" back in the 1920s. But by now, there is too much opposition toward complete reunification--- although the border is deliberately porous, these days. And I'm not sure the Dublin gov't actually would WANT complete reunification today, anyhow. The Stormont regime is caught between a rock and a hard place. A majority in Northern Ireland voted to REMAIN in the EU..... And what of SCOTLAND? Gibraltar also voted to REMAIN. And WALES, eh?
