Amusing, but facetious. The border problem as stated is indeed impossible to solve, but both Brexiter and EU strategy hinges up the idea that the other side will blink first, the EU betting that the Tories will fudge up a sea border, and the Brexiters that the EU will plump for any deal to avoid a no deal (as that would definitely have a hard border).

There should be more options, like Republic of Ireland joining the United Kingdom. Or Scotland making a bid to join the EU.

Good one. Yeah so many more options as I was programming it... Like the EU giving up on their "colony" Northern Ireland. Or France or the NL exiting the EU too...

yeah there is definitely some last-minute negotiation tactics going on right now... Do think that some of the suggestions by the UK have internal inconsistencies that seem to get ignored somehow

There were a few ideas like "Scotdon" leaving the UK and staying in the EU:
