DUP went for a hard brexit which meant a border somewhere. All, SDLP & SF went for a backstop to mitigate that. Admittedly, the consequences of a sea border weren't really discussed or acknowledged. Mind you, May's deal with the customs backstop would have meant
-no sea border (or a very weak one). The UK would have maintained closer alignment with the EU through May. The Remain parties were grand with that. Even if you accept that the Remain parties didn't take the consequences of a sea border into consideration-
-they acted to mitigate against the consequences of a hard Brexit. Brexit parties need to accept that everything flows from their decision to back that. Remainers in GB wasted too much time trying to stop Brexit instead of pushing for a compromise.
Remainers need to take their blinkers off about the EU. They're not a sweet, wonderful org. And I say that as a Remainer. Brexiteers need to own their shit.

We've all been done dirty by London and the EU. Get it together and make this better.
