Boris Johnson's Irish border remarks lampooned

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-43208893

From the article:

Boris Johnson's comparison of the Irish border with the boundaries of London's traffic congestion charge zone has been widely ridiculed.

The foreign secretary was speaking about the challenges Brexit will pose to moving goods over the 310-mile border without imposing checkpoints.

He said there was "no border between Islington or Camden and Westminster", and yet traffic fees were collected.
