The english "norn oirland office" advertised in trade sites for " experienced officers of customs and excise ".
£ 15,800.
1 week on..
Not ONE applicant.
In English "None "

"rising to £ 16,800 after 3 weeks training "

I think the advertisements were a rather childish attempt to show us, the EU that "we are taking this sea border seriously, tried our best, here is the proof"
I am not sure it was convincing.

just to make mischief. Do people remember the £1 billion the tory government (of T.May) gave to the DUP for their 10 votes ? That could easily buy some trainee customs officials if it wasn't in an account in Jersey funding American Evangelical USA trump re-election.

oh... and Mr. " 5 borders" the "expert" adviser on borders. Mr. lars Karlsson... he now has a contract to "train " officials with his online "school" , a trump university for customs officials.

It is a personal thing. Karlsson came to ireland selling software, hardware, creating borders for his profit to sell his services, his product. At NO point would that man consider the political reality. The man is a parasitic egoist and little more albeit, he has expertise .

If lars and his "director of " string of companies he owns ever comes near Ireland I will laugh my head off my shoulders.

EU , we , are able to spot a con artist on the Belarus border, Albania, Ukraine. I don't think lars or any English will teach new lessons.
