Liz Truss does not know her Baltics from her Balkans .

Indeed. And just how rude is that post! It is clear that they do not have a viable answer, bar blaming the EU for a situation which is entirely home-made.

There MUST be a border. It can be in England or Scotland, before ships leave for NI, or in the sea between the two, or on arrival in NI, or between NI and Ireland/EU.

So I shall ask, politely, again- where will the border go. Because a border there will be, somewhere, and the EU is totally right to insist upon it..

Wouldn't bother, Kali2. It's like the eternal question we all keep asking from this side of the table: "What are the benefits of Brexit?". We don't ever get an answer to that one and we won't, I suspect, get an answer to your one about where the border should be. Perhaps there are some people who prefer to put a bag over their heads and hide behind the sofa rather than figure that out!

You would think a foreign secretary would have some grasp of geography. Obviously not.

No, not really. It is a political appointment after all, not one based on any special knowledge of the subject.

It does, however, shock me that if this was not a slip of the tongue - yes I know, an excuse worthy of Mr. Johnson, that anyone who paid attention in either history or geography at school could make the mistake.

But perhaps she spent her time looking out of the window when at school.
