MEP Martina Anderson tells Theresa May on border 'stick it where the sun doesn't shine'

Sinn Fein MEP Martina Anderson has told British Prime Minister Theresa May 'your notion of a border' 'stick it where the sun doesn't shine'. Speaking in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, Mrs Anderson said "British armoured cars, tanks and guns could not enforce a border and 27 EU member states will not be able to do either after Brexit." She said last night: "So the radical House of Lords’ amendments were voted down today by the Westminster Brexiteers. And the Brexit-wreck It gang tell us to get over it, that it’s the best thing that's happened since sliced pan bread. "Yet I have not met one business person, one young person, one farmer, one man, woman or child who has said to me, rubbing their hands in glee, 'God this divorce from the EU is going to be very good'." "But Ireland is told, 'Get over it. Don’t worry about it. It’s going to be a frictionless border.' Whatever the hell that means? Nobody knows. And let me put the record straight for everybody here. No border – hard or soft – will be accepted by the people of Ireland. "What British armoured cars and tanks and guns couldn’t do in Ireland, 27 member states will not be able to do. So Theresa your notion of a border, hard or soft, stick it where the sun doesn’t shine, because you are not putting it in Ireland!"
