Trump ’s plan for a border wall has a lot of problems . It will cost a flock and be really , really high-risk fora lot of endangered specie . In term of level of derp , it take on a drubbing .
Well , now the UK have give it a good old try . architectural plan formulated by a think tank for a high - technical school border between the UK and Ireland have been met with derision , because essentially the architectural plan is to have drone and airship police the border like we ’re live in a steampunk dystopian future .
After Brexit , there could be a trouble with the mete between the UK and Ireland . Currently , people are detached to move between Northern Ireland and Ireland as both are part of the EU , but that could exchange after the UK impart .
The UK government are trying to avoid a unvoiced border with Ireland , but this is hooked on talks with the EU .
A propose solution from the Legatum Institute is to deploy drones , airships , and hot air balloon to patrol the margin at all time . They say that " unyielding surveillance of the mete region " could be achieved through a combination of these remote-controlled arial vehicles and aerostats ( dirigible or hot air balloon ) .
The think tank propose that cameras mounted on these air - vehicles could monitor the entire border , along with ground microwave radar system . A much higher technical school result than " a big wall " .
However , the suggestion has n’t gone down well so far with British people online , with many mocking it for how bizarre the musical theme is .
Brexit secratary David Davis , in charge of Brexit negotiations on behalf of the UK , has take a firm stand previouslythat a " non - visible " border could be maintained with Ireland after Brexit through technology and a trade deal .
The Legatum Institute raised the theory of patrol the skiesin a papertitled"Mutual Interest : How the UK and EU can correct the Irish border payoff after Brexit" . In the paper , they also suggest ground - based solutions , such as unattended solid ground sensors , photographic camera , and ground - wave radio detection and ranging . The think tank is considered influential with some politics ministers , harmonize tothe BBC .
The Legatum Institute let in that the zephyr - base solutions were " capable to a number of limitation , not least weather and cost . "
It remains to be regard whether the UK government will adopt these proposals , but many may be wondering whether an idea that requires zeppelins to patrol the skies is really an thought deserving pursuing .
