The text of Article13 and the EU Copyright Directive has just been finalised and it's utterly awful. It is clear what we do now: contact MEPs and get them to vote down the entire package.

Our best bet: The final vote in the plenary of the European Parliament, when all 751 MEPs, directly elected to represent the people, have a vote. This will take place either between March 25 and 28, on April 4 or between April 15 and 18. We've already demonstrated last July that a majority against a bad copyright proposal is achievable.

  Scotland and Northern Ireland are part of the UK, whereas The Republic of Ireland is a sovereign country in its own right. There are some other land border issues with Brexit - e.g. Gibralter - but the only physical land border between the EU and UK proper lies between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
  
  That will change if Scotland ever gets its independance and becomes also sovereign, of course.
