A little problem with Brown’s Maginot Line?
Mark Devenport throws up a question that should be of interest both to Gordon Brown and to his Tory party opponents. If Britain is to have a new Border Guard force, where exactly is the border?Our north/south border is virtually non existent, as is the east west. This would leave Brown with something like an Maginot Line , in which Britain’s coast, ports and airports are heavily defended, whilst leaving the Republic’s lighter security and tiny navy to guard it’s ‘western approaches’ against drug traders, terrorism, and human trafficking.

So I think this debate strays a little far into thge hypothetical…
