I'd love to see that result, purely for the hilarity of watching the people I share a house with, who voted for Brexit, explode at the idea of the UK government not policing an external border.

The only reason they voted for Brexit was because they think it means they can get rid of all the migrants, they tell me this quite regularly.

One of them moved here from Bahrain, though apparently this means their family were ex-pats, not migrants. The other is from a long line of Christian overseas missionaries.

If they thought for a second that Brexit would mean leaving the border with Northern Ireland wide open, they would be screaming blue murder.
