The comedian said there are only two options to resolve the issue
Northern Ireland-born comedian Patrick Kielty has claimed that a hard Brexit will guarantee a border poll.
He hit out at Brexiteers saying that if they had an alternative option, they would have agreed to a backstop, a mechanism in the Withdrawal Agreement that ensures Ireland’s border with Northern Ireland remains open. “Just as long as they can see it from the big house, they’re happy. As for those who live in the stable? If Brexit has proved anything, it’s that many Tories don’t give a stuff about the people of Northern Ireland - not even the unionists.
He added that an “inevitable” economic downturn and “border circus” of a hard Brexit could swing floating voters and Northern Ireland out of the union.Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says EU won't entertain UK requests for extension of Brexit deadline without proper plan“So, why would any member of the Conservative and Unionist party take that risk? Because no matter what they say in public, they’ve never honestly believed Belfast is just like Finchley,” he added.
