I'm talking about being aware what your country consist of.
I cant imagine not knowing who your neighbouring countries are.

I dont think anybody in the referendum campaign was explaining Britain doesnt own Ireland bc doubt anybody thought it needed explaining.

My point is everybody should know basic geography, referendum or not.

If they don't, they can't really discuss the Irish backstop, as TS said.
The very concept of the backstop exists only bc of the geopolitical situation.

you have moved the goalposts and not for the first time in these threads

can you confirm that you heard any mention of the border during pre referendum campaigns, you claimed what I said was untrue and rambled on about the GFA, its not my fault you completely misunderstood my original point, I am not discussing geography that is other people in the thread so take that up with them maybe?
