Irish Backstop Pour Les Nuls (parody)

Irish Backstop Pour Les Nuls (parody). A mashup expressing political speech on matters of public concern, namely the Irish border question raised by Brexit. Different media sources are blended to create an ironic commentary in the guise of a "for dummies" book, with British MP Jacob Rees-Mogg as mascot.

During the "Troubles," a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland was a source of constant fighting. Then the Good Friday Agreement established an open border and fighting ended. Yet, the same forces still exist in Northern Ireland, and might easily be re-ignited by Brexit. But the Brexiteers gave no thought to the Irish border, and don't take seriously the need to avoid a hard border at all cost. What's in their heads?
