In May 2019, I concluded a two-week road trip along the Irish border, covering over 1800 km of terrain and over 208 or so border crossings. I collected the views and concerns of people living along the border on Brexit and Irish unification. For most Brexit is a decision on the wrong side of history that will endanger the Good Friday Peace Agreement. Besides the fear for new violence, smuggling would become big business, and the livelihood of farmers and business might crumble under the financial pressures it might bring.
